At that weight, I was afraid of crushing my bikes, so I bought a Long Haul Trucker, and heavier wheels for my Montague Paratrooper, and suffered through some really short rides, but spent a lot of time hiking in a nearby nature preserve with a lot of elevation changes, too. I made a spreadsheet and logged all my exercise, as well as everything I ate. As I'd been eating way too much, I didn't go on a starvation diet, but scaled back to a point where my exercise was able to make some headway.
When I dropped below 300, I started riding a bit more, while continuing with my hikes and neighborhood walks (our hood is hilly, too).
Now, I can ride all my bikes! Woo!
Thanks for the props!
