61, 6'2", was 308 lbs. last week when my wife and I started Jenny Craig. Now I'm already 10 lbs. lighter after only 5 days! I know it mostly water but it is a big relief to be under 300 again even though it is only a number. We bought our bikes last April and started out pretty slow/infrequent. I rode twenty miles Saturday after work for the first time in many years. It took me two hours and twenty minutes. Truthfully I got a little carried away. i had intially planed to only ride for one hour. Previously my longest recent ride was 50 minutes not including our vacation trip on the Hiawatha trail which was almost all downhill.
Thanks to all of the people who haveposted their success stories. They are very inspirational and encouraging. In about a year I will be able to add my own.
