138lb, lmao I have let me think, yes, I have 2 full grown adult humans to lose...from my starting point. When I hit 138, that will be near as damn it, one of them! I am currently 22 away from my halfway point

It sounds very useful to me. Ultimately, the ONLY thing that matters, is that you are trying and you are exploring and using methods that may and can be helpful to you. There is lots of things good about keeping a food diary, and a lot of things good about giving yourself time to really think about what you are eating…

now THAT is awesome, well done, 25 years, you are seriously "in the zone" as I call it lol Why get your own when you can "borrow" one of your dad's collection lol I bet you will be on that trail in no time. Thank you very much, but you are the one actually doing it, I'm just talking about bike riding lmao as an aside, and…

dude, that is immense, many thanks for the heads up, i will have a good read through that forum, thanks mate,

Hiya Mate, mine is the older version of this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Garmin-Premium-Strap-Heart-Monitor/dp/B0029M3NSS/ref=sr_1_1?s=sports&ie=UTF8&qid=1377471924&sr=1-1&keywords=garmin+heart+rate+monitor that uses this strap:…

^ THIS

WOW dude, you SHOULD be proud too. That has taken easily 10 years off you, you look WAAAYYYY younger. AWESOME work, well done.

That is great info about psi and spoke numbers. I might take my bike to the local store I bought it from and see what they can do for it..and me lmao @ flying down hills, it's the going up them that's the issue lmao Thanks for the suggestion though, i think i will do that and take it in and get it back to riding condition…

ahh good advice, many thanks for that, like i say, i may not be able to just now, but i am hoping my old bike will take my weight, at any rate, whenever i am able to start I will follow that advice gradually trying to build up my butt tolerance lmao

lmao it is bloody hard work isn't it, why do we do these things to ourselves, only to put ourselves through more pain to try and rectify the damage we did in the first place? lol Humans, off our heads lol btw dude, your weight loss, massive congrats, that is some serious work right there. Respect.

I wish you all the success and good fortune in the world. I am confident you will get there!

a seat that is cushioned, wide and with springs? HELL YEAH lmao I will have a look out for one of those, the one on mine while it isnt one of those leather skeletal things, it isn't that far off. I mean, just for the time being, this is all possibly hypothetical as my bike/wheels might not take my weight, but if it does,…

I would love a home cardio gym, stationary bike, treadmill etc, but I suppose when i get more weight lost, I will/maybe enjoy the craic of being others in the gym etc... I dont want to be shut away for ever lol I am liking the idea of new bike, I think IF i can sort out the one i have now to a useable state and IF i can…

jesus mate, that is some progression @ 20 miles in 80 minutes I plan on getting my bike out of the shed in the next day or two and giving a going over, I know the tyres are shot but no idea what else, it has been in a cold, draughty humid and icy shed for the last few years so could be a bit of a wreck, but we will see.…

LMAO it is very true that, it caused all sorts of pain in my nether regions the last time i won the weight battle. I think it is one of those things that is just going to take time to get your bum used to it. It is pretty bad on the rower and i can't row for longer than 20-25 minutes and the seat is bigger than a bike…

You know, i used to only use the recumbents when i went to the gym years ago, and see plenty of people use them on the roads, i actually do really like the idea of recumbents, they always look so cool to me. But right now I couldn't use them... my rowing is done in my house and my walking is in the middle of nowhere 9…

LMAO sure, I am a brit, bad teeth to you probably look good to us lmao

I have just changed my ticker actually, someone said don't be shy and state your goal regardless of how much it is... so while i will retain my mini goals, and i am not absolutely sure about my end target, that figure seems a reasonable-ish one to try and get to and reassess once there or near. lmao thats a good point re…

Oh that is a brill suggestion with regards a solid second hand bike, I will put that down on my list of possible models to further explore. I will respond to the next bit as that covers the heart rate thing. I have one of those with my rower and have only very recently started using it. Infact, the reason I am on mfp is…

Don't get me wrong, i am doing other exercise too, i row I don't know, maybe 5 days a week as an average, and walk 3 days a week, but as it is coming off I am hoping to increase and expand my activities so that's where the biking will come into play. I was offered the referral scheme a year or two ago and my mind wasn't in…

The old gym I used to go to has closed down now, i will do some research and see what is available local though at the very least. I will then have an idea of where the next step will be taken once i get there and it will make me feel I am progressing somewhat if i start to do that research. Thank you very much for the…

I do have to say that in the past when i have been overweight I joined gyms (used to live right next door to one, so there was no excuses lol) and the general attitude inside the gym was definitely better than outside amongst the general population. I accept it is probably/definitely some psychological thing i need to get…

My bum definitely hurt all those years ago and now you mention it there was a bit of groin pain, almost as if the circulation was getting cut off... casting my mind back. There's no way I will wait until 250 though, I don't know the stone conversion but that isn't a million miles away from the ballpark where I will feel…

oh wicked, thanks mate.

lmao suppository, thats EXACTLY what they would be like lol. Now a tractor seat, or better yet, an armchair with pedals lol now you're talking

LMAO try a google image search, it "may" be more interesting, well, if you can see them, it must be really REALLY small lol

Ahh thanks for that. My balance is ok, well, definitely lots better since I started losing and walking and rowing etc, but I am confident that side of things will be fine...no medical reasons etc Yes, I am worried about the tyres being flat and maybe perhaps the possibility of breaking the frame, but I suppose I can just…

LMAO I had that problem 8 years ago... I did buy a gel seat thing to add to the factory seat but never got round to using it. I have heard some say leather seats are the best, but my god, they look like instruments of torture lol
