I'm 6'0" and was over 230 a few years ago. I felt like crap. I was still a bit over 220, when saw a new doctor, got put on cholesterol and blood pressure meds a year ago. I also had slightly high blood sugar. Nothing was way out of whack, but the combination was concerning. I'm under 210 now and the doctor wants me under 195--so do I. (Got to get it done before fire season.) Hopefully, I'll be able to get off the meds, then. Cycling is helping drop the weight and strength training a couple times a week keeps me strong. There are no flat routes where I live. I'm still slow, but getting better.
