I need to lose some weight. My New Year's Resolution was 5lbs per month. Sounds doable right?
Question is, can I keep at it? In 2003 I did a starvation diet and lost 30 lbs. I didn't make any lifestyle
changes so when I got stuck I just couldn't lose any more weight.

I brought my bike in from the garage, put on my new time pedals and shoes and pedaled for a half an hour.
I know it's not long, but it's been a long, long time since I have ridden regularly. My plan is to ride a half an hour
per day for a week and then each week add 5 minutes. If I can have this be a habit by the time it gets warm I should
be able to get back into good riding shape.

Any suggestions, ideas, etc?

Yeah, just eat right and ride alot.

Though mountain biking is better for you, much better, it burns lots more calories. My friends and I ride about 20 miles a day offroad in the summer (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) . Its great fun. You don't need to do any crazy offroading (or downhilling), just a run through the woods (we ride on the powerlines a few towns over, where all the dirtbikers ride and are dead by the time we finish) All you have to do is keep the pace up (15mph) and have some time to dedicate to riding.

Oh, you should pick up a cheap mountain bike to ride on the road, they are alot heavier so you burn more calories riding them.

Wieght training also reduces weight. All the guys lift and ride, and none everyone has been losing weigt for the past 2 years. I'm kinda biased towards riding (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) , bikes and cars pretty much take up all my time outside of school.

Anyways, good luck and stick with it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) (btw, I've heard that booze slows down your metabolism 50% for a week after consuption)
