So on October 29th (at 225lbs) I decided I would buy a bike when I broke 200. Well I cheated. Got my year end bonus and ordered the bike a couple of pounds too soon :-)

I guess down 80lbs can’t be considered a failure. I have a ton of work still left to do but now I get to start having fun. I can run at this weight. I can’t wait for it to get warmer so I can ride. The loss is slowing down of course.

Would think I can get to 170 by April. I love how my body is changing, actually cut my toe nail all by my bad self, first time in 8 years lol

A guy I used to work with told me how it was such an effort to maneuver around his pot belly just to tie his shoes. He didn't need the doctor to urge him to lose weight to lower his blood pressure -- he just wanted to be able to get dressed!

@ daddy thank you very much @jb I feel so much better in so many ways I know I’ll never get fat again @writing I am so looking forward to that solo Saturday century on country roads @otb well a road bike because I don’t understand you crazy people riding in the woods lol. I got a carbon fiber frame with Shimano R7000 components. Toyed with going up a component level but had to be frugal and see how much I actually get into riding. I can race and do light touring with this bike so it will get me through the next couple of years.
