Thanks for posting this. As one who needs to lose weight, it's always great to see those who are farther ahead on the road and making progress.

Hey everyone, just wanted to post that I am still alive. I'm still getting a few miles in here and there and the weight is slowly dropping. I'm hovering around 212 - 215 these days and still shooting for around 180. I would love to see the 199 pound mark in the next couple of months, if it doesn't happen in two months that is fine, as long as the numbers continue to decrease.

Time for another update. Weighed myself today, down 51 pounds, weigh 209 pounds. Still have a ways to go but I'm betting closer one pound at a time.

Also, had a great ride today. 61 miles with about 2,800 feet of climbing. Averaged 20mph and 215 watts. Woohoo!!!

Time for a new update on my weight loss. Still a long, long way to go but I think I am still progressing so I can't complain too much.

This pic was around July 2, 2010.


This one was a couple months later.


Around Christmas time 2010.


Today (6/10/11).

700 miles for June was goal and would have been monthly record. Not going to make it but 6ish is done. Getting stronger for sure but I still CAN NOT climb. Power to weight is horrible. They just cruise right off from me and I just cant mash.

You are doing better than I am this month. I am only at 552 for June, I'll be lucky to get 600 miles. I have to work with the family business the next two weekends so that will really cut into my July mileage as well. I'm not too worried about it though, I'm already thinking about 2012.

Oh, I'm almost to the one year mark since I got back on the bike. July 4th will be the day. I am already over 6,000 miles but I would like to get a few more in just for the heck of it.
