Before and after weight loss climb (videos & pics)

[luv2climb]

Interesting post and nice pix as usual L2C. And like everyone else, I love those stone people (going to use the cool thing now - - been waiting for a chance). But now that I've seen you in the video, I'll admit that I'm a bit confused as to why you should lose 20lbs. It's clearly your judgement and I respect that completely, but it doesn't look like it to me and you're already doing these climbs that scare the c*&p out of me... Anyway, I look forward to pixs of your future climbs. Sorry about your camera by the way. You're right about the quality.

Thanks! I hide my blubber well. I have three rolls of fat on my stomach that need to go bye-bye. When I was in peak condition in 1992 I weighed 117 lbs. Then I did a few months of mtb racing in 1993 and gained 5 pounds of muscle. If I can get down to the mid to low 120s I'll be happy.

My defective Contour arrived at the company in Seattle about an hour ago, so hopefully I'll have my new one by next weekend. I have another good steep sufferfest climb in mind for next weekend.

oh, I felt that climb. I saw you running out of steam also. I felt for ya. You did great. Pictures are so cool. If I ever get to 117, I must be in bed on deaths row. That is way to small for me and I'm 5'2.. I've not seen that weight since high school.

Thank you. Yeah, I tried pushing a bigger gear near the end, but didn't have the strength to keep that up so I had to downshift.

I'm 5' 4", so somewhere in the 120s is the healthiest weight for me. I don't need to weigh 117, especially since I've probably gained quite a bit of muscle since those days.

Luv.. did you gain those muscles from riding or did you also do resistance training?

Riding. I get bored with other forms of exercise like weightlifting or sit-ups. I like being outside, so I do the fun forms of exercise. When I was a kid in the good old days before video games and other forms of entertainment that cause people to lock themselves up indoors, I used to play basketball, baseball, soccer, hide-and-seek, bike chase, foot chase, and other outdoor activities with the neighborhood kids. I didn't have an ounce of fat on me until I reached puberty.

that sounds so good. I'm jealous. I would love to see it work for me like this also. I love outdoors..
