That sort of thing helps motivate me to get off my butt in the morning and ride. I am NOT a morning person, but since the beginning of this year I have found myself getting up at 5 or 5:30 to get on the rollers or go outside.
You've learned nothing from that potbelly thread. Once you filter out all the noise, it's clear the problem is diet, not the amount of exercise you do or don't do.
The problem is EATING, you have to change your eating habits. Not saying to stop exercising, but the the greatest changes are going to be made by changing diet.
If people don't learn to eat selectively, and to push away from the table, they're just kidding themselves. @
datlas is not 6'2 & 140 because he rides his bike, he's that way because he's disciplined about what he eats.
