My name is Michael and I decided it might be time to find a bit more support. I am currently between 200 and 210 (might be a good idea to purchase a scale)
5 Years ago I tipped the scales at 255 lbs and was a strong candidate for developing diabetes. I managed to change my lifestyle and managed to drop a lot of weight, but I've been in the ballpark of 200 lbs for a few years now and I've struggled to drop any more.
My goal is to weigh 180... I'm 5'11" and I realize the bmi states I should be around 155 but I do have a pretty large frame and I don't think I want to be able to see my skeletal structure.
I've just got into cycling and I know this will help a great deal, but where my problem really lies is my diet. I live in a room & board type situation and can't always control what I eat for supper. I often skip breakfast and when I do, I'll eat the standard eggs and bacon. I tend to snack occasionally at work as well while sitting in front of a computer... yeah, I know, extreamly bad habits... but of course that's why I'm here now isn't it?
