Hehe. Thanks everyone. Logged 75 miles so far this weekend.
1400 miles on my bike since the first of April. Probably add 100 more this weekend. Averaging about 19mph on my solo rides now.
My steed:
I've been riding for almost 30 years now. Keep going! It pays dividends !
Great job!
As of today, I am officially no longer Obese! Just Overweight, haha. BMI=29.8
As of last week when I weighed, I was about 11 lbs away. I am looking forward to being just "overweight" in a few weeks instead of "obese".
At my peak a few years ago, I had a BMI of 42, well over the "morbidly obese" mark of 35.
I've set a couple of weight-loss goals for myself, but that is the first one to achieve, and then to get under the 200-lb mark.
Slowly but surely...
Congrats on your accomplishment.
The BMI scale is pretty unreal for tall people. It says 189 for me to not be "overweight," and I could be as low as 145 and still be in the "normal" range. 145lbs and 6'1" would be in the "freakishly too skinny" range if you ask me. I was like 165 when I got married and it looked like I was skin and bones. I'm at 205, and don't really have a weight loss goal, other than I want to change some flab in my middle out for muscle.
I've been working out 3 days a week, and doing some bike riding and other workouts on the off days. I sure feel a whole lot better already!
Oh, and congrats to Dustin and all you others for getting in shape!

I agree. I'm 6'1" and was 160 when I got married. I cut my hair real short, and people started asking if I had cancer. At 145, I'd probably look like Christian Bale in "The Machinist". I'd like to get down to 180 though, I think I looked pretty healthy then.
