I was just looking through some old photos...

Me, 2008, 16.5 stones (233lbs)

2009, Me on the Cumbrian Cracker Sportive, after taking up cycling and and running for a year, 12st 3 (171lbs)

Quite pleased with the results of 12 months change in lifestyle. Intending to get down to about 160-165lbs before race season starts

Awesome work. Do you feel it's been worth it?

 

[Sukh]

I think maybe he has just got older and fatter and then posted them in reverse

Oh god yes! I used to be into cycling as a teenager/early twenties, then along came a wife, kids, and a load of excuses to live a fat sedatory life. I forgot what a fantastic natural drug exercise and pushing yourself can be.

I've done a few sportives this year, and registered for the Etap du Dales, which is 112 miles and pretty tough with 3500M of climbing. Planning on doing more of these this year, as well as Time Trials and the odd local race.

Absolutely. Nothing beats the feeling of really pushing yourself physically.

What bike have you got?

 

[Sagalout]

Trek Madone 4.5 for the road, Specialized Rockhopper comp for the trails

Fantastic transformation, a new man! Good pics too.

Post the pics in the 'fat to fit' thread on BodyBuilding.com; you'll get lots of love there for that effort.
