Don't neglect your legs, Heywood. The big muscles are below the waist
and part of what you want to do is have the metabolism of someone with
active muscle mass.

yeah. I was cycling 60 miles a week April - June. I intend to get
this up to 100 once the weather cools down.

But I do feel that my knees are pretty weak, I don't have the strength
I used to when getting up from a crouch. I had assumed once I lost
50lbs it would be back to normal, but clearly I need to work on my
legs too in the gym.

This morning the scale read in the 170's for the first time in a LONG
while, like 10+ years.
Congratulations!

thanks. I should have mentioned that it was easy for me to stick to
the plan since it didn't involve starvation or denial of anything. I
just had to eat ~1000kcal/day less than my body was burning.

What type of exercise have you been doing through the weightloss phase?

An average of an hour a day of cycling at a moderate pace (usually 2
hours every other day).

So I think I'm around 182 now -- It took me an extra month over my
original 24-week schedule, but no biggie... when I started I had no
faith at all that I could stick to the plan or that the plan would
even work as expected. But I did, and it did...yeay!

I can ALMOST fit into my benchmark college-era 501's from 15 years
ago... I had to stop wearing them sometime in the mid-late 90's . . .
probably 5 more pounds here and there to go until they become
comfortable again (they're technically wearable now, but I look like a
jordache model in them).

Thanks all for the help. Next stage is upper body strength and
redevelopment. . . still need to join a gym....
