If you'd hit the right hole, she wouldn't have that problem.

I've seen a fair few despairing weight loss threads on golf discussion forums over the times. From a personal standpoint, over the last 2 or 3 years slowly but surely excess weight crept on. I'd go to the gym sorta in fits & starts during that time but nothing seemed to work and I wasn't happy about it.

Then I got into cycling around September last year and the weight started to fall off. It is a seriously good weight loss activity as well as being a ton of fun.

I believe it takes a lifestyle change, but nothing drastic. Look for a pound or 3 a month, and eventually you look like a new man in the mirror. Don't get caught up in a time table.

Yep, I agree.

Before taking up cycling, I had a gym weights program which I never looked forward to doing. I hated the thought of dragging my tired body to the gym after a day at work and then battling with others for a spot on a weights machine. I also would go to a spin class which most times bored me.

Now, I do a Park Run of 5kms most Saturday mornings. I cycle to work 1 - 2 days a week (16km round trip). Then some weekends, I'll go on a road cycle with some buddies of 40-50kms (usually broken in half by a nice coffee and/or breakfast stop). For the first time in a long time, I've found something that's enjoyable and works.

I haven't bothered to renew the gym membership.

One of those Lycra fellas who ride 1km to the coffee shop for a 2 hour catch up with other Lycra wearing friends..
Sounds fun.

Yeah, I took this shot of my buddies on our last ride. I really like catching up with them.

Only eating 1700-1800 calories daily, cut out a lot of my beer intake and ride my single speed for at least 30 minutes a day. Basically a lifestyle change.
