Just checking in, I'm a newbie here, but loving the forum. I want to brag about two things, first I've been able to lose about 20 lbs since December 2016, and keeping it off so far. I have two vintage rides, my 1964 Legnano, which I've had since new as a junior racer. The "before" picture is with the Legnano at around 232 lbs. I just finished restoring another classic, a 1973 Raleigh Super Course, which is my "After", during (?) weight loss picture at around 210 lbs. I have a long ways to go, hoping to get below 200 one day soon. Both bikes are a joy to ride, even more so at 20 lbs. lighter. After hanging up the bikes for 30 or so years, I started riding as the millennium approached and I was turning 50. I am now retired, 67 years old and doing just under 5000 miles a year here in sunny California. I've had some heart rate issues, and after several tests, found that I have a "mild" heart valve problem that will need work one day. Now with a beta blocker, and losing the weight, I'm back on the bike again, and enjoying the rides.
