Thanks for posting. I was going to post about being on the EBDJ or Keto or
low carb diet and might as well piggyback on yours.
January 2017, I was at 223 pounds after Thanksgiving and Christmas. I read
EBDJ and followed it strict for one year and lost 40 pounds. I am now 185
Thanks Ian - I'll try not to be a stranger, but I'm currently loaded down
with work, which is actually better than having too much time to ride.

Did you use a certain app on your phone to count carb grams? I am a

Igor Belopolsky asked Deacon Patrick why he didn't get "horizontals". What

I am amazed that you ride ss/fixed in such hilly terrain.
Not sure my meniscii would be able to handle that kind of knee pressure and
shoving. Of course, it could be healthy for the meniscii as they get
bloodflow from on and off pressure movement, or so I am told.

numbers. May I rephrase, please? Grin.
The waist and weight numbers may not be the best numbers to focus on. Consider

experience them so you have a benchmark for what a premium, supple tire rides
