Another new person

Just thought I'd introduce myself before diving into the forum. I'm Kevin, a 26 year old househusband/soon to be student from the UK. In 3 years time, I'm going to be cycling from Lands End to John O'Groats (over 1000 miles). When I decided to do that last month, I weighed 308 pounds, had a slipped disc and didn't own a bike!

So far I've lost 19 pounds in 4 weeks, but I still have a long way to go. I'm looking forward to chatting with some like minded people, and hopefully picking up some ideas along the way...

Thanks. 7 pounds of it came in the first week! It's one of the few advantages of being over 300 pounds - when you start to diet, you see a big loss to begin with!

Welcome, and best of luck with your goals!

My husband is an avid cyclist...but he has never done that long of a ride before...Good luck!

The most I've ever done is 40 miles in a day. I've got a long way to go!
