I don't drink, but when I gave up soda, I fell from 200 pounds to about 180. I'm about 170 or so now, but at 5'9" I could stand to lose a little more. Curse my stocky hibernian ancestors!

Dropping soda got me from 190 to 165 in about six months. I'm 6'2" so beanpole is probably the right word.

yep i allow myself one soda a week. it helps a lot.

I need to be better about that. I hate diet soda but fully eliminating reg soda would be the easiest means of cutting calories. Coke Zero is almost tolerable i guess.

me too......

Since Termy continues to insist on projecting his own issues onto me, i'll come clean.

At the specialist yesterday i weighed in at 190 fully clothed, sneakered and with additional items in the pockets (you can see i'm already making excuses)

I was not happy. Instead of the 10 or so pounds i could stand to lose its looking more like at least 15. (175 would be an ideal weight according to my doc) GF unit, being her usual blunt self has told me repeatedly that it ain't ever gonna happen no matter how much excercising i do (which includes having gotten back on the bike as well as the saddle + weights) as long as i keep drinking beer. She may be right. It sucks to have to make such choices. You never appreciate one's lost youth as much as you do when you realize that the days where you could eat and drink anything and not gain an ounce are gone forever.

I have a friend who used to bartend who told me that he knew a guy who all he did was simply stop drinking beer and he immediately dropped 20 pounds. (i assume he was in his 30's) sigh. I guess beer is my kryptonite. I have cut back a little but still tend to frequent the pub 3x a week with book, highlighter and pencil in hand.

As a guy who only weighed 118 lbs when I was racing, I have always loved watching riders like Alberto Contador. It is amazing to see a fellow accelerate past the other great riders on a steep pitch like that. Allez Alberto!

Hmm...
That's about the weight of my left leg... [:D]

That's why I love bicycle racing, especially the grand tours. It's one of the few sports where being a small guy can actually be an advantage! [8D]

I hope that you get your mountain bike soon - it's good to have a bike for each purpose. Just make sure that you take care of the bearings after riding in all that snow and mud. Those conditions are murder on a bike, even a mountain bike...

thx [:)]


Well, each extra kg needs 6 watt to be pushed uphill, so you'd made me look really bad...

On the other hand, we might try an ITT on a flat course [;)]

[X(] I sucked at the individual Time Trial... In any kind of wind I'd get blown all over the place and headwinds are my biggest enemy. I'll take a mountain pass any day over a strong headwind!

I drink Coke Zero as my preferred soda now. Several years ago, I quit drinking soda with sugar and dropped 10 pounds within 3-4 weeks.

Now you have the added reason to drink it over full sugar. You can save money by not paying the new tax on sugared sodas. [:D]

Has any one recently had the Fatal error 999 problem lately? I've read up on it , and seemed to have stopped some time ago. I just had it hit me. I don't want to do a re-install if I can help it, as I've several games going. And yes, I do have Norton and webroot.

Hi all,

Good evening!

Just saw Erik finally announce WitP-AE for late July and tell us the pricing... my years old prediction of 49.99$ was 10$ off... [;)]
