Today at 300lbs. I rode a bike for the first time in 15 years.

And I made it 2.5 miles in 35 minutes. And I'm damn proud of myself and ready to do it again tomorrow.

Edit: WOW! I never thought just an off the hand accomplishment I was personally proud of would get this much attention. Everyone has been extremely helpful and I appreciate everyone input even the negative criticising comments. After reading the using r/fitness link here is some information about me.

Height: 5'10' Current Weight: 300lbs Sex: Male Age: 29

Medical issues: Hypertension which is regulated with a low sodium diet. back pain which is due to a previous work injury. Hence the choice of bicycling.

Goals: To be healthy and lose weight. Id even be happy with 240lbs as a final goal weight just not 300lbs. All this so when I have kids I can actually play with them.

Diet History: I've tried almost everything. Weight Watchers, Atkins, juice diets, Lemon water diets, Purges and more. In every case I lose 5-15lbs and a month later I've gained back what i lost plus 5-10lbs.

Plan: This time I plan on exercising at least 3 nights a week and eating mostly vegetables. I'm not setting monthly goals or even yearly goals but just a diet that is healthy and full of veggies with extra exercise through out the week.
