Congrats on your progress.
I made a New Years resolution to lose 100 pounds this year and get in shape. Thanks to the my miraculous secret diet I have gone from 270 pounds on Jan 1 to 192 as of today. (32 pounds to go). My resting pulse has gone from 92 to 54. When asked- I tell people I am on the ELMM diet. That stands for Eat Less, Move More. What a concept!
I credit biking for being the key to my weight loss. My only major dietary change has been to cut out all of the late night snacking I used to do- (I was a major chip and nuts fiend). Other than that I have built up a cycling routine that involves riding 150-200 miles a week over rolling terrain at an average speed of 18-19 MPH.
I feel reborn without all the extra weight. I have all sorts of extra energy thanks to the cycling and weight loss. I feel incredibly lucky to have an activity like cycling, that I enjoy so much, and has such amazing benefits.
