52/F, time to get healthier

Hello all,
I'm 52/F, 5'7" and started at 170 last week. My job keeps me walking most of the time. I started riding a mountain bike 4-5 times a week, about 8-10 miles a ride for exercise. It's time to drop 35 pounds to start with. Then I'll decide if more is necessary. After trying for a month to cut back (or so I thought) to lose weight, I heard about this site from a friend. Tried it for 7 days and have lost 8 pounds, probably of water weight. But it feels great!!
So, this is my introduction...it will be good to get to "know" you better.
