i started my diet in april and i just began biking on june 9. so far i'm down 25 pounds from 290-265. i try to bike 5 days a week, at least 7 miles per trip. i'm gonna shoot for 10 miles on my ride tomorrow. basically i just cut out soda, snacks and reduced my portions quite considerably. i eat a lot of lean pockets and drink lots of diet snapple peach iced tea mostly. i'm hoping to get down to 180, but 170 sure sounds better.
