Starfish -

Keep it up! :-)

It's not necessarily about losing weight, but at the very least maintaining. :-) Heck, I'm finally back down to 172, my pre-sickness season weight. (I've been really sick three times this winter - I'm blaming the college students since I haven't gotten really sick until I went back to school). I got up to 178 and FREAKED - two runs of antibiotics will do that to you. :-( I got down to 175, then got tonsillitis this week. I haven't been able to really eat solid food until last night, so I lost three more pounds. I drank lots of fluids and soup. :-) Ice cream has been helpful, too.

I'm not in this contest, but you guys have inspired me. I'm 172 today, and my goal is 155 by the end of summer. :-) Slow weight loss, fast biking. ;-) My goal weight is 150, then we'll see how low I really want to go, but that'll probably be it, because I like having muscle, and I like to eat. What's weird is that so many competitive male cyclists are around 155.
