Just What I Needed

Hi all, name's Thomas, 27, live in North Alabama, and i am a cyclist. A couple of years ago i packed on nearly 50 pounds, partly because of a knee injury, partly because i got lazy. I'm 6'-7" and had always wore a waist size of 32, but a couple of years ago when a friend of mine passed i had to shop for new khakis, and darned if i didn't have to buy a 36. That was when i decided i had to get healthy again. So, i turned to cycling, not only to deal with the weight, but to also deal with the loss of my friend. For me this was the easiest way to lose and keep weight off, mainly because it is something that i have always loved, and it never feels like something i HAVE to do. So i go to the gym and ride the stationary, doing structured workouts such as intervals, spin ups, hill sim., and ride the highways on the weekend. But i finally hit a plateau. Seemed like no matter how much i rode, or worked out, i just couldn't lose anymore weight. Granted i only have around 10 more to lose, if that much. So that's when i discovered this site by looking for apps in the android market and decided to get it. I've now realized after using it for the last few days that i was over eating and not even realizing it. I eat healthy, but i was taking in too many calories. This is a great site and i love how it breaks everything down and lets me know how many calories i have left. The android application is great as well, love the barcode scanner!
