I don't know my weight in pounds, but initially, before I started to use my exercise bike, I weighed 151 Kilograms. In 3 months I lost about 5 kilos just by riding and adjusting my food intake.
In August 2001, I changed tack, when a chaplain encouraged me to keep going. I bought a new exercise bike after breaking the other one, and in the ensuing 6 months, I lost 24 Kilos.
I'm going through a time of plateauing at the moment, but I know I will perservere.
When I get down another 10 kilos I will get out my MTB and ride to work.
I have proved to myself that it can be done, albeit with some ivine intervention you might say, and will press on to the goal of riding from one side of Australia to the other next year.
It's amazing what a little sweat, determination and a lot of prayer can do!
