Bloody gutted so far this week.

Rain and poor trail conditions mean that Ive not ridden at all this week so far and I feel fat for it. Like... all the work I did last week has been undone

Will try and get on me bike for the weekend if the weather holds but 1 day of rain = 3 days of sh*te trail conditions as it turns into a bloody quagmire of tree crap.

u might want to think about doing a bit of running too - then if its crap weather you can do that instead - otherwise come winter you could find yourself making excuses not to go out

yup thats what im worried but to be honest I get leg pains and aches from walking when I was 280lbs. I dont think running would be the wisest exercise to do 200lb+

Gonna fit my damn mudguards and after reading on another bike forum about people who ride in -20F temps and through ice and snow, Ive realised I have the gear to ride, and can always change in work if I really need to, so I just need to go "oi! no!!! you lazy arse! get your arse out there!!!".

fair point - though you might find that if you carry on as you have been then you may well be a lot slimmer when winter comes round

tis a good effort mate good to hear youve lost a stone already

Even walking at 280 can be nasty to your joints. Stay on the bike. Im just shy of 180# and over 6 foot myself, verging on lanky, but I wouldnt even think of running unless I got down to around 165. Its really just suited for flyweights.

165 is what Id love to be.

Think after another stone loss I should probably aim for a target weight or something.

Another 11.2 miles to the total.

However due to me being lazy the last few weeks a weigh-in this morning came out at 19stone 10lbs

so Ive put on 8lbs.

Dammit.

Wont be lazy again at least for the summer, that bike WILL be used every day.

Had a sh*tty commute today though, broke my rack mounting on one side, got a chain jammed in both ends, got wheeled at by a twat on a BMX and my card got swallowed by a cash machine, and my damn boss didnt invite me to the company shindig.

Grr... crap day.

Throw away the damn scale and judge your progress by the way your pants fit. Theyre evil those things. Easy enough to weight 5# less one day due to a big crap and slight dehydration--but you rationalize it and either take the day off or have a Cadburys or something.

Been there, done that. I was at my thinnest when I went to the gym 5X per week as I loved the exercise, and wasnt obsessed with mass. I ended up weighing myself when a workmate commented on how lean I was--Id managed to get down to 162#. :shock:

Id love to be that svelte again...but I wubs me bbq pork as well.

Ah damn... the forums cut the image short. Basically the numbers are mile markers, from mile 0 - mile 11 is the route one way, reverse for the return journey.
