Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

They have been instructed to bury that with me, and to carve 'Cat IV' and 'cholesterol is great, 167' on my tombstone.

I have a question, though. Do your replies count for the 300 total? Because if they do, you'll be there by last Sunday. Just sayin'.

Please note that since this is a weight loss thread without weigh-ins, it is essentially a thread about Nothing.

If I follow your logic--and I use the term loosely--you're saying that skinniness is a state of mind?

In your case perhaps. For me it is imminent in a very real and physical sense. I may even post photos. Depends on how much play this stupid thread manages to get.

If you can't remember to eat and drink, I think you need more than a scale...

While I weigh myself every week, I don't pay attention to the weight number. My scale has a body fat monitor which I do track. I don't think it is that accurate, but it seems to be fairly precise based on my weekly measurements.

https://www.amazon.com/Omron-Full-Sen.../dp/B0020MMCDE

I bought it after being frustrated when I needed to get new pants with bigger waist after I really started cycling. I believe my muscles made the hips too tight, but it was a bit worrisome. I seem to be losing 0.5% body fat per month while maintaining a constant weight. Not a quick improvement, but I am getting quite stronger.

...now if my wife would quit it with her recent indulgence in baking... :-)
