So far about 10 lbs has come off and I'm down to 230... We'll both do it, it'll just take longer and more effort than we remember and than we'd like
I have some low hanging fruit in my diet, namely way too much bourbon and high carb dinners like pizza. I don't want to go "keto" but I will go lower carb, cutting out all high carb meals and sadly, the bourbon. My liver levels in my last physical dictate that I take action now or risk issues later in life.
My biggest issue right now on bike is how uncomfortable it is to sit on. I have my saddle issues and position worked out ok, but the pressure on my hands and arms is still pretty high and I can't do much more than an hour without hating my life. The problem is I have a "performance bike" and the fitness of a ... non-performant person!
