I was up to one of the heaviest i had ever been. 230. Im 5’ 10” tall and while thats not huge it was still uncomfortable. Just turned 50 and the weight wasnt healthy. Was having a hard time doing normal things and fitting into normal clothes. A few years ago i went from 235 to 170 and i felt great but i literally gained it all back. Im not big on the gym and before i did alot of running to lose the weight but again wasnt really into it which is why i stopped. So i bought a mountain bike on September 1st. I grew riding bikes so it was something i enjoyed but hadnt been on a bike in 20 years. On October 1st I had already lost 22 pounds and was down to 208. I ride twice a week but because i want to really enjoy mountain biking it forced me to change my diet and exercise daily evem when im not riding. Im up to 15 miles a ride and loving it!! Got another 30 pounds to go!!
