This is more of a general OT question, on the whole. Does anyone have any good suggestions for weight loss, etc? I've been out of cycling for about 10 years now, and just picked up a new-to-me bike, and have recently been hitting the gym. I'm 6', and can't seem to get myself below the 300# mark. Any and all suggestions would be helpful. I'm serious about getting back into this, and have given myself the goal of doing the Portland Bridge Pedal next August. That's about a year to get myself into some sort of shape, other than round. 😉 Thanks in advance, all!

Errr......... eat less/pedal more😉. Joke.
Calorie count. Make sure you burn more than eat. Don't over estimate how much exercise will burn. Its far easier/quicker to put energy in than burn in out.
Lets face it losing weight is unpleasant, your body is starving so it uses its reserves, never a nice feeling.
I'm sure online calorie calculators for cycling exist but I've never used one.Also eat the right stuff.

(still our population is the most obese in Europe so what do they know😉)Be honest and don't cheat.
Good luck hope you crack it.

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't sure if there was a good gym regimine to work with or not. Just to build up strength and endurance. I appreciate the cheering though, every little bit helps.
