Be glad you're not me!
April 7, 2008, I weighed 284.6 pounds, and couldn't keep up with the slowest group in our cycling club. I decided that day after getting dropped like 3 miles in that I would either get in shape or die trying. Made two dietary changes, and rode my bike as much and as hard as I could. One year later, I weighed 176 pounds (just shy of 110 pounds lost) and was leading the A group, and even managed a 61 minute 40k TT.
Quit cycling in 2010 to concentrate on running, ran some nice races from 2010-2012, but then went through a divorce and injury at same time, and before you know it, it's 2019 and I weigh 277.4 at my last physical.
Now I have to lose 100+ pounds again, and I'm 45 not 34 like the last time. Just a bit of griping, I know I can do it.
