Hello!
I would just like to add my weight comments. I'm 5'10 and went from 11st 7 to 9st 10 by swapping bread with carrots. Anyway, this has helped my greatly to climb hills, but now a lack of power on the flat is apparent. My next challenge is to gain power without gaining mass, this sounds difficult to me!
To everyone loosing weight, keep on going, once you think about the next ride more than the next meal you are on to a winner. Just get out 3 times a week 100 miles and sorted.

Down to bang on 16 stone. I'll be happy if I lose another half but will probably lose another stone by year end.
Cutting out bread due to intolerance has been the biggest help with losing weight. Severely cutting down on the booze has also helped.

My scales read 13-13 this morning. That is the first 13-something since 2006 and would have been really encouraging, except for the fact that a toilet visit *increased* the reading by 2 pounds back up to 14-1! 
Unless the laws of physics have changed recently, I take that as confirmation of the unreliabilty of the scales, which is why I add a pound or two to their readings!

Having had two weeks chilling out over easter and drinking more than I should, strictly back to Friday and Saturdays only. Bloating gone fast indeed. Sticking to packed lunches also helping.

Christmas 2011 saw me at my heaviest ever 19.5 stone. It was a disgrace.
I am 6' 3" and fairly heavy built, having broad shoulders.
I have always been fairly active and used to work outdoors so never watched my weight particularly and maintained what I considered a health weight. But in 2011 I realised I had to get hold of myself.
Strategy? Buy Concept 2 rower and use it, reduce alcohol and eat better. That was early 2012. Bought road bike about this time last year. Started cycling 40-80 miles per week (variable).
Result? Weighed in today at 16 stone 2lbs. Very pleased. The weight has been falling steadily over the year.
Target? Two really. 1 Get to 15 st which was a healthy weight years ago when I was mountain biking a lot.
2 Get to upper BMI limit 14st 4lbs (yes, I know, I can hear people reaching for the keyboard to point out the failings of BMI), but its a target, an excersise to see if I can get there. Have not been that weight since I was in my teens. Anyway,when I get there,I might decide it does not suit me.
Can feel vast benefits of having more energy, more enthusiasm for life and ever increacing stamina on the road.
