I am old and fat

[myusername]

So I finally got my new tubes and tires put on my bike ..

I don't remember just sitting on the seat being painful

Dunno if it's the 40 someodd pounds or 8 years that I've added since I last rode it.

I wonder how many taint-crunching miles I will have to ride to drop 40 pounds. Don't even want to think of it. Oh well. At least it's a start.

Hey man, at least you ARE doing something about it. That's more than most Americans can say.

Sprung saddles are also particularly desirable for tandem stokers...

:shocked:

Probably, but I'm going to bleed a couple times before I admit my youth is pretty much history

Congratulations on coining the most disgusting phrase I've heard yet today.

I'm not "old" old or "fat" fat - 29 and 220 at 6'4"
That's not ridiculously overweight (especially considering I have literally subsisted on fast food for the past decade), but the problem is I used to be 180 last time I rode this thing

except the second floor of an apartment complex where you don't want to upset your downstairs neighbors or give them the wrong idea

ok, sorry, it says "Topic Title: I am old and fat"

i am older and fatter than you, 39.5 and ~250 - 5'11'' :thumbsup:

not eating works wonders. i lost 10 real pounds and 3 inches off my waist in two weeks during the summer. didn't have time to eat regularly due to new job, so ate maybe one meal a day. i was amazed.

I'm not really kidding. My 1968 Raleigh Sport came with a sprung saddle (different from that image), and it died only recently. If I decide to restore that bike, I'll cough up the $80.00 for a new one!

:thumbsup: to you for getting back on the bike. Just think, if your seat is uncomfortable at least you're not riding on this:

(actually I ride on one and after the first week or so it was more comfortable than a gel seat)

I have literally subsisted on fast food for the past decade

Heck, last year when I was too busy to think of what to eat, I used to visit McDonalds regularly, I usually only had one big tasty and fries at a time, but I tell you, after half the year of visiting the damn place I started feeling like I was freaking 50 even though I'm not anywhere close to that yet. You don't realize this food kills you the first day, it takes some time. Now I eat regular business lunches and feel waaay better, and even more so when I don't eat at all.

You're satisfied with loosing muscle?

 

[jadinolf]

Well, you are in shape.

Round is a shape, isn't it?

 

[TBone48]

Just go for it, in 2 weeks you'll feel tons better and will have already lost a few pounds. The sooner you start, the sooner your taint won't have to bleed.(Man that sounds gross)

LOL! I'm 29, 6'1", and 260lbs. and I decided to take up bicycling 3 weeks ago. I've been riding an average of 60 miles a week for the last three weeks, and guess what happened?

I gained five pounds.

My gf says there is no real change in my eating habits, if anything I'm taking in less calories since I haven't gone out drinking at all during that time (which I used to do at least 2x/week before I started biking).

I guess the extra weight is muscle mass. It sure has been easier getting up hills these last couple days...
