...remove those individuals from my endangered species list......yes dear.
30 mile cycle ride tomorrow... I am working on it...my issue is I am not "fat" at 230... I have a 6pak barrel now, headed to loose the barrel !
1150# leg press for 10 reps ! Not bad for an ole guy! Both of these pic's are from Feb 2012 headed back there...225# in the pic above.
You look like Hellboy in that picture Steve....

Not sure, I was red a lot of the time before heart surgery. Could have been the sun who knows...trying to get to 215 or 200...not sure my addiction to sweets will allow it !
So I failed to hit my target weight last year. But I have pursued it again this year with a renewed vengeance.
January 1st, 2017 I weighed 249lbs
March 11th (TODAY) I weigh 222lbs
My intermediate goal for the 1st half of this year is 200 lbs, After that... maybe I can get to the government recommended scarecrow weight of 176 for my stature.
I have found a fitness ecosystem called Polar and have been using a M400 fitness watch, chest heart rate monitor, as well as the Polar Balance scale and their PolarFlow web app to help me monitor my progress. Using these devices, as well as speed walking almost 6 miles practically every day for lunch, I've been able to stay in a calorie deficit. However I had to greatly reduce my consumption of beer which was really tough at first, but I'm getting used to it. Just gotta stay away from places like the VFW and the ALR which are watering holes for the most part.
This is Polar if any of you are interested. Out of all of the weight loss gimmicks, fads and diets... this has really effected weight loss for me

Congrats on the progress! Keep up the good work. Think- each pound YOU lose, the bike will be able to go faster!
So true :-)
The mild winter we have had really helped me get back on track as well.
I also have a outdoor elliptical bike called a Street Strider... and have taken it around the BWI bike trail (about 11 miles I think) though I have had to push it up some of the steeper inclines. One of my goals is to ultimately ride it on that circuit without having to get off of it and push it at times.
This thing SERIOUSLY kicks my ass, but it's a excellent workout and... the less I weigh... the easier it will get.

Nice looking exercise bike. Probably would be faster, if it was Matte Grey. LOL
You may already know this but if you exercise to lose weight you will lose the fat,but muscle is heavier. Dont let the scale deter you.
