Tayyib Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 22kg lost since october last year!Didn't go on a diet just made better dietry choices!Drinking is also almost non existent.More I lose the faster I go and that keeps driving me!
Winstonian1984 Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 100% agreed! I find that these days I'm probably "that guy" who keeps going on about it to my non-cycling mates but that feeling of being out there early on the trails is just too good not to share. I t makes me feel like a kid again. I've managed to lasso one of 'em into the mix so far. My mission continues... Haha, I know the feeling....everytime we braai it turns into a cycling "meeting"....the ladies have now given up and have started talking about cycling too, going as far as watch the criterium du dauphine with all the guys.

It makes me feel like a kid again. I've managed to lasso one of 'em into the mix so far. My mission continues... I see my friends roll their eyes when I go on about cycling You do a lot of kms. I need to force myself to get to work earlier so I fit in weekday rides, even shorter ones. But good motivation from everyone's stories
Skubarra Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Was 108kg and now I weigh 73kg. That's in about two years of cycling. Completed the Joberg2c this year along with the sani2c and ride all the big marathon races. Would never have been able to even dream of doing that two years ago! wow!
Joeboy69 Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Lost between 12 and 15 kg cycling around 50lm a week and switching to Windhoek Light ???? Picked up about 5kg again, I blame winter mornings and craft beer ????
marko35s Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Took about six months to bin off 15 plus kg's.Quite chuffed, losing weight and having fun. Who would have thought that was possible.
Pure Savage Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Awesome stories! I buggered around on my bike for 3-4 years not loosing any weight and doing 3:45 Argus's sitting at around 100kg. My Max was about 105kg. Joined a DC team, got married in that year and went down to 85kg, the year after that down to 80kg and a 6:30 DC. In the past 6 months got down to 74.5kg, 6 hour DC and 2:52 Argus and have never been so stoked. Up to about 78kg now, but with the early starts need some insulation. I find training with mates is the best motivation. Hammer!
Pure Savage Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Interesting side note: The more KG I lost the more R got spent on the bike! My bike has also lost the same % of weight as I have!! (Road not Mtb bike! )
svm3000 Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Last year June 91,4kg and 182cm now 80kg doing 40-50hr a month on the mtb bike

Adrian Fogg Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 was a 102kgs bought myself a cheap 26er 2yrs ago, bug bit me bad 2 yrs later 82kgs and loving the mtb'ing. Don't drink much anymore but working in a hotel is tough work with all that yummy food. I look at my old photo and still can't believe how I let myself be so unhealthy and FAT!!!
jimmycool Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Sheesh, well done guys. I will post back here in a few months time with my number (it is not too impressive yet) Who is brave enough for a little before/ after gallery to motivate the rest of us to get ourselves into gear?
Adrian Fogg Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Jimmy cool that's a good idea. I found a photo the other day of a shirt that fitted me pretty good now it's WAY to big for me. Pretty much like all my clothing now. Still have a goal of another 10kgs to go.
