But it it will be totally meaningless. Early on a polite an inteligent man dropped some knowledge that can’t be measured but will surely have the greatest impact. It’s the fact that the weight is coming of your person, your heart will not be working as hard to pump blood to a smaller body.

didnt it occur to any of you that I may actually be more efficient oxygen wise in a higher gear? No one mentioned this and I had a chat today and did some research. Different bodies work in different ways. Mashing vs spinning, fast twitch/slow twitch anaerobic vs aerobic.

But I believe I have all the info I need, thanks for the entertainment.
