I have to say I owe it all to the bike. It's helped me focus on eating better and somewhat smarter and has motivated me to do the extra things to help lose weight. So my peak weight was 197 pounds and now I'm down to 182 as of today. My goal is to get to 170 and then I think I'll be feeling really good.

So it IS about the bike, after all??!

Nice work Pride. That is great. I weighed in at a mighty 212...and I am now down to around 190 or so. I still would like to lose another 10 pounds but my motimation is rather low, so who knows if I will actually make it anytime soon. I owe mine to running and eating better.

22 pounds is a lot of weight! That's awesome! Why have you lost motivation? What was it before? I need to be doing some other stuff besides riding the bike... although I'll always ride because that's what I love to do these days. I'm doing some ab work here and there and a tiny bit of running and a few curls. While my stomach is getting thinner, I'd like to do some other stuff like play basketball or something to get more fit.

It has felt good to lose the weight. That was the heaviest that I have ever been. I am still at 190 and I lost a little motivation because I look OK now. I am not embarrassed anymore...now with that said, I have decided I need to lose that last 10 pounds. I want it gone by the middle of July (1-2 pounds a week) so back to eating extra well and exercising just a bit more. We'll see how it goes.

I've lost a little motiviation too. I've eaten quite a bit of fast food the last couple weeks or so and I'm back up to 184. My pants are still getting bigger however so whatever. I'll re-commit too.

I started dieting at the end of April and dropped 12 lbs in 3 weeks, but since then I've been a slacker. Being in the south last weekend, I ate fried catfish and hushpuppies, plus pizza, cookies and Corky's BBQ.

I've found the key is eating right plus exercise. If I merely eat right, my weight stays the same. But if I want it to drop, exercise is a must.

Back on the saddle again...

Yeah I have fallen off the wagon a bit too the past couple of weeks. I have spent the last 3 weeks traveling so it has been difficult to stay on my regimen. Couple that with two luaus in one week and ouch...I am going to hit it hard when I get back to Utah.

It's a great way to lose pounds before a show.
