Dropped forty pounds since December. Cut down on Beer and cut out the garbage food (i.e., potato chips). I tried some chips recently (after 4 months) and they tasted disgusting!

That is excellent! Congrats. I used to be a fanatical runner, then the back went bad so I switched to a Nordic Track. Even that was hard on my back. I’m currently a couch potato but would love to start riding a bike...just have to get off my a$$ and do it!
