I used to enjoy herbal tea which i makes from actual leaves. I have lost 4lbs in 12 days by herbal tea and my physical activities. Diets and exercise both are essential for weight loss. I have seen couple of causes in which weight watchers are wants to lose weight in one day which is truly impossible.

Eercise if your physique feels tired, a anniversary or two now and
again doesn’t hurt. If you use these techniques I’ve explained to you
throughout the year, and bounce and summer comes about you will already
accept a arch alpha to fit into your swimsuit with curves if your a
woman, or to appearance off your concrete conditioning for the
gentlemen. Remember to exercise smart, eat right, and ability up for an
advantageous life.

Hey Tim,

Thanks for the mention! Glad I could assist in some small way. I’ve plateaued too at 208Ibs. I’ve upped the excercise to include running and a more intense upper body workout. That’s a vainity by the way, as an ex rugby player the thought of a cyclists arms and body fills me with dread!

But one of the things I know to be true (and it took me ages to discover) is that it’s not how much excercise you do, it’s controlling what goes in your gob is the key, which as all of us fatties know is the hardest part to control. Grip that and you’ll be rocking and rolling again.

Thanks again for the mention!

Cheers Clive

Well this is welcomed news! I am honored to have won, I do enjoy Sweet Leaf Tea when I can get it, I want to thank Darryl for all he has done with bike school and loving the bike, Loving the bite has been good reading as well, and the people that help out with they are class acts.

I have my goals and a plan of attack, sure there have been set back but then there always is you regroup and move forward.

Darryl,

Thank you so much of including me on this post. Clive and Bryan have some great stories, I am indeed honored. It’s important to let people know how empowering riding a bike can be, whether you’re living to ride or riding to live.

Good luck everyone in the contest and thank’s for some great feedback…

Joel

It so cool that you came across Clive and had him help get you moving towards your goals. I love it. I hope you break through your plateau soon and keep on moving in the direction that you desire. I’m not saying this to generate business for our nutritionist, but Kelli would definitely be able to work with you to help break your through and get you there. It’s a thought.

At 303lb the doctor told it was now or never to start loosing weight, blood test results showed I was well on the way to diabetes, so I decided to start dieting to loose weight. I realised that exercise was an important part of loosing weight, I had already been told after a knee injury (partly caused by being over weight) that I am not allowed to run so I decided cycling would be the way to go. Problem was a 303lb male on a bike is not a pretty sight (let alone a bike coping with that much weight) so I decided to wait until my weight had dropped a bit. At around 265lb I grew impatient and bought a hardtail mountain bike, at around the same time I found Clive Chapman’s MassiveMTBer blog. This was a guy who was beating his weight problem by riding a bike and I found it very comforting that I was not alone in my quest to loose weight by cycling (and dieting).

Being able to read Clive’s (and many others like it) blogs about cycling and weight loss has certainly helped me keep focus. I have currently seemed to have plateaued around the 238lb mark much to my frustration, but I am still working at it with the aid of my two bike garage.

Hi Eric,

It’s really good to have you commenting on today’s post. I also appreciate you sharing your personal story and what’s happened over the past 6 years. That Fat Cyclist sure has inspired a whole mess of people to take up road cycling and it’s so awesome to see that happening.

I love your attitude and how you said “when the ride is hard and challenging it’s still a good day on a bike”. Awesome. I hope your health issues are resolved very soon so you can get back out there and hit those centuries.

Darryl
