Kool..!!
You sound highly motivated now. I was 19 stone and it caused my type 2 diabeties..However like you enough was enough..I started spinning at my local DW Fitness Center and lost a stone a month..I got into cycling just 6 months ago but..In May i was 13 stone like yourself but had a seriouse accident on my Defy2 in a country lane May 29th and broke ALL my ribs and puncherd my lung on the right side. I was in hospital for 2 weeks and the day my lung rightend its self i signed myself out and headed for the gym for a spin. I was still in lots of pain but 100mg tramadol+1000mg pracetamol+50mg diclofenac and 10ml of morphine four times a day kept me doing what im obsesed with. Unfortunatly i still have 2 compleatly snapped ribs on the right side and when i return to the UK In January hopfully Il be having them sugicaly stabalised
To add insult to my already exsisting injurys..In early November I fell off again cutting across a bit of wet grass..Iv never hit the ground so fast in my life..it took me a few moment to realise what actually had happend..however i was decked and Again i ended up with yet more broken ribs. Here some advise..dont fall off.. It HURT'S..!! if your unfortunate to fall off twice..it kinda Hurts twice as much lol
Anyhow Im 15stone at the moment but this is only a minor set back, as like you Im a bit of a fighter
Keep it up and all the best in your quest

Martin.
KEEP OFF THE GRASS.!!!!
