I'm down from about 260 to about 215 right now. I try to ride at least a couple 25-35milers (on a fixed gear or a heavy hybrid bike) per week. The biggest change I made was eating better. I've all but stopped drinking and going out to eat and I lessened my portion sizers and implemented more fresh fruit and veggies. Now I find the thought of some of the stuff I used to eat isn't even appealing anymore. My goal is to be down around 190ish which seems like a good weight for my frame. This pic was taken of me this Saturday as I was setting up for a lawn care class...



I can't find a decent 'before' shot but just imagine me with a double chin and a large belly.

Dang Ryan, congrats man. I started gaining some of my weight back, but if I don't stay on top of my cycling, that'll happen.

Wow, congratulations!
