want to be completely inspired and astounded?
There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

You should be proud! What an amazing story! Good for him! I'll bet he gets down below 220 at the rate he is going! Cycling is such a great way to get and keep weight off!

You go give him a hug and a kiss from me! He deserves a huge congrats and reward for all his hard work!......I'm with everyone else - he'll reach his target weight and I hope you tell us when he does!!!!
Congrats!!Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

Wow! That's really awesome.
I don't know his specific struggles, but at one point I was nearly 300 pounds, so I know how hard it is to lose weight.
