You gonna eat that?
Wavering... got up to 226 again, just about back to 224. I can deal with 3 steps forward, 2 steps back, as long as I do more forward steps than back steps.

I'm 54 years old, 6'4" and 230 at the moment but I have been as high as 285 and as low as 228 following my first hard effort to control my Type II diabetes a couple of years ago. My goal is to get down to about 210-215 and be very healthy. I'm well on the way and this is my way of getting there. I got back into road biking a year ago Father's Day and was riding about 60 miles a week until I had a crash on Labor Day weekend breaking a couple of ribs. I'll be back at it before too long if I ever start healing up. Broken ribs hurt bad unless you sit still all day. I can't in my work. The bike held up fine btw.

Clyde Check-In
From a high of 290 lb in June/July, I'm back down in the vicinity of 270 lb.
I'm cranking out the distance, too. As of today, I'm 123 km from 2500 km lifetime mark (at which point, I'll get tattoos to celebrate) and 275 km from my 1000 km goal for 2011.

Love to power the rides out
I'm at 6'1" 218-225 with body comp in the 9-12%. Often refered to as a linebacker on a bike. Tore an ACL playing semi-pro ball before they actually repaired them. Now a knee that really can't be used to run on. I love TT and team triathlons and dualthlons. Is it me or does it seem like a lot of courses favor the 130-175 riders (meaning very hilly).

An update:
Getting closer to my goal of 180. am down to 217 from 265. Bought some new jeans a few weeks ago, because the ones I was wearing were always falling down. now even the new (smaller) are doing that. Had to find my construction toolbelt suspenders [for all you UK folks, I'm meaning the US type!) to keep these from falling off my hips every time I walk around.

36 years old, 5'9", weight varies between 240 and 250 pounds. speeding headlong toward my first heart attack. 
i've been on and off of bicycles all of my life, but mostly for recreational purposes only. starting this week, i'm "in training". for health, mental state, etc.
short term goals are just better health, etc. long term goal is that i'm going to ride the 2012 MS-150 ride in my area.
i've got an older trek 7800 MTB and just snagged an older giant CADEX CFR-2 for my road/trainer rig.

My 6 Year Experience and a Question
I’ve been reading Bike Forums since 2005 when I got back to cycling. I’m 6’2” and at that time I was 55 and over 300 lbs. I had cycled a lot in my 20’s and 30’s, but had gotten away from it. Before getting back into regular riding again I had a stress test with a cardiologist to make sure the exertion would be safe. It’s been an interesting six years since then and I thought my experience might be of interest for those of just getting into riding. That first year I just rode on my own, mostly 15-25 mile rides but I didn’t keep track. Beginning in 2006 I joined the local club and began a riding log so I’ll share my miles and some of what happened in each of the following years.
2006 – 3,629 miles – 683 miles most in one month
I started training in March to do the 200 mile Seattle to Portland (STP). In May I joined a group that was training to do the STP in one day. It took the whole day but we made it. My weight stabilized at about 275 lbs.
2007 – 3,963 miles – 558 miles most in one month
I did another one-day STP and my weight got into the 260’s.
2008 – 3,322 miles – 530 miles most in one month
I crashed headfirst 115 miles into the STP, breaking three vertebrae, ruining my Torelli titanium frame, and putting me off the bike for 6 weeks (see helmet picture). My weight was stable at around 270 lbs.
2009 – 3,844 miles – 501 miles most in one month
Had a good year riding, completing a two-day STP and several 80+ mile rides. My weight was back to 275 lbs.
2010 – 2,676 miles – 472 miles most in one month
This was a very tough year with knee surgery in June and three kidney stone surgeries from Aug. to Dec. The knee was a torn meniscus caused by a non-biking injury. My weight got back to 290 lbs with two months off the bike and two months of little riding.
2011 – 1,923 miles so far – 363 miles most in one month
It’s been tough getting back to riding form due to bronchitis, a planters wart that really hurt past 25 miles, and a blood clot in my leg that kept me off the bike for a month. I’m just now able to ride strong and long and I am back down to 285#.
As you can tell, cycling hasn’t been the answer for getting back to my target weight of 200 lbs. But it has gotten me back into much better shape and I’m happiest when I’m able to ride. I also enjoy the mechanical side of the sport. Over that same time I’ve built 18 bikes and have ridden 11 of them myself. I now have three, a Colnago C-40 carbon, a Colnago Master XL steel, and a Bob Jackson steel touring bike that I ride in our wet winters. None of my bikes have had any trouble handling my weight. For those interested in riding longer distances, I would advise for comfort to stay away from aluminum. Steel, titanium and carbon have all worked well for me. Heavy riders need to use wider tires (25-32) at high pressure. I ride Vittoria 700c x 25 inflated to 140 in the rear.
My only ongoing problem has been broken spokes and cracked rims. I currently ride custom built wheels, 36 spokes that are tied and soldered with a 3X pattern. I haven’t broken any spokes since going to tied and soldered, but I’m wondering if that might have caused the cracked rims. It’s happened with different rim types and brands, always at the eyelet on the rear drive side. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate the advice.

I'm really in awe of you guys losing so much weight. You all have such determination and motivation. I go up and down like a yo-yo because I comfort eat and lose motivation easily.
I am now weighing my food and counting calories in an effort to see where the weight is coming from and was amazed to find the small bowl of cereal I eat in the morning comes to 500 calories on its own !
Theres 1/3rd of my intended calorie intake right there ...If I have another bowl at night which I frequently do then no wonder I can't lose weight.
I would recommend anyone starting out on weight loss keep a food diary for a few days and calculate the calories . You might be surprised at how much you are eating.
Good luck everyone

I recently lost 70lbs, I did not diet I changed the way I eat.. I went to a sports nutritionist: to break it down to its basic premise; eat every 2.5 to 3 hours, do not eat any white carbs (rice, bread, sugar) every time you eat: you have a carb with a fat or a protein (the entire meal no bigger than the size of your fist). You will loose weight safely, your energy will rise and your concentration will increase. If people are interested I will be happy to post some more recipes....
Egg white soufles
breakfast egg white soufle
chop 3 cups of veggies and saute in non fat cooking spray.
Take a muffin tin and fill each cup 3/4 with egg beaters or egg whites
Put 1 table spoon of cooked veggies in each cup.
bake for 20 minutes at 350.
I eat it with an Ezikiel Muffin
Snack: Apple, 2 slices of boars head chicken
lunch: 1/4 lb of sliced boars head chicken on toasted ezikeil bread with pickles and sweet relish, 1 small cucumber
Snack: hand full of roasted almonds
Dinner Chicken Fried rice:
1/2 pound chicken breast
1/4 cup egg white
1/4 cup roasted corn
1/4 cup scallions
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 cups brown rice
Saute corn, scallions and chicken in non fat cooking spray
Add cooked egg whites
stir in cooked brown rice
add soy sauce
saute for 15 minutes over low heat
after dinner snack(optional) 1/2 ezikeil bread and low fat peatnut butter

At age 54, I've started to realize I need to have a smaller footprint. I weighed 286 (6' tall) back in April, I'm now tipping the scales at 245. I've always played full court basketball 2 to 3 times a week and my knees werer really starting to bark at me a lot, so I decided to ramp up my exercise to include bike riding. I've rode of and on over the years but not that much.
So I hit the trails and I have been riding 20-40 miles every weekend and some during the week. When I dropped below 250 I treated myself to a new bike (Fuji Newest 1.0) which is more fun to ride than my Trek MB or my old Miyata 210.
I want to drop another 20 or so to get to 225, my linebacker playing weight back in college.
I may have caught the biking bug

Here is my Clyde-Ride
My road bike:
2009 Kona Kapu Deda 14.5 SAT tubing and chromed lugs
Brooks B17 Imperial Saddle and bartape
Deda Zero100 seatpost, stem and handlebars.
DT Swiss RR585 custom built wheels laced to 240s hubs with DT Swiss competition spokes
Full Ultegra groupo
Chris King BB and headset
Speedplay Zero Stainless pedals
Currently about 256 and down from about 285. I added the wheelset because the stock wheels weren't strong enough and after 200+ miles since I added them, they are still true as can be. Cycling is the first exercise that I really enjoy. I think I'll stick with it.

This wheelset has the qualities of strong wheels (high flange rear hub, heavy bladed spokes, deep section ally rims). My biggest concern is quality of materials, lower spoke count rear hub, and "J" bend spokes. At a lower spoke count, the "J" bend is the weak spot in the power output. I would seriously consider these wheels for myself if the spoke count were 32.

I have been browsing here for quite some time, but don't post a lot. Back in 2008, I was living in the Seattle area and was 6' and 285lbs. I decided to get a bike and try to lose it. So for the rest of the year, until I moved back to Southern California, I dropped 40+ lbs. and continued riding. Life got busy and the bike took a backseat to me going back to school and traveling for seasonal jobs. Well, here I am again. Bike is working now, after spending some time in the weather and I've started riding again as of this past Monday. 42 miles so far and looking to do some longer rides eventually. Currently riding a 2008 DB Response Sport.

Wow now I am wondering if I made a mistake buying a Caad 8 I am 50 yrs old 265 lbs and just bought this bike 2 months ago it is constantly giving me problems chain breaking spoke breaking.I thought it was the bike but I guess its me I was going to upgrade to a trek madone or a super six but not now.Is there any road bike any better for big men or will I be having these problems with all bikes? My lowest weight in adult life was 235 and I looked sick. Some of us are just meant to be big.

Lather, I bought a Fuji Newest 1.0 2 months ago when I weighted 265ish. No issues at all except I now weigh 240 - I've rode it like I stole it.

6ft, 220lbs, funny I don't feel heavy, got a bit of a beer belly, hangs over a 38 waist that's pulling in a bit since I started riding again. Got back into cycling after 20 years mainly due to the fact I have trouble running since I screwed my back up. Feel fine now, no back pains but can't get back into running. Ride a steel frame base model Bianchi Campione I'll be putting clipless pedals on as soon as the bank balance allows, so far the only other thing I've swapped out from stock is the tires - Continental GP All weathers, live in New Jersey. Loving being back in the saddle, wish I had got a bike years ago but upwards and onwards.
What weight are we all aiming for then? I feel fine as I am. Mrs might prefer me to lose the gut but I can live with it, I'm 44 not 24.

Thought I'd join in the forum and throw out my ticker (below). Always been a fan of the Bud Clydesdales, so proud to be called one. Currently weigh about 240 and hope to drop to 190. I'm working on upgrading my poor fitting Giant road bike to a cyclocross bike. This will be the first new bike I've owned since 1983 so I'm very excited and hope to keep riding even in the winter months. The success stories on this forum are really outstanding and I hope that I will have some of the the same fortitude and success.
