Congrats mate, both of weight loss and wedding. <br />
Impressed at your dedication, esp whilst the cricket world cup is on.<br />
<br />
Hows the diet going?<br />

Cheers, diet isnt the tough bit, i never really ate that badly just needed to drink plenty of water and eat more salads etc. 30 mins every day or so on the bike isnt too tough, and most weeks i seem to lose a bit of weight.Â

Have done fuck all exercise this week but weighed myself today and found i lost nearly a kg.<br />
<br />
9 weeks in my goal was to get from a shade under 90kg's down to 80kg's. Currently at 82.6 so not bad i guess :nta<br />
<br />
Away next week so im guessing ill be putting some back on!. -

Went great, weather came right as well thankfully. Only drama the photographer didnt show!<br />
<br />
Fitted into the suit nicely, although we were given a too small waist coat which neither groomsmen could fit but i could! -
Been lazy this week...<br />

Saturday<br />
<br />
Headed out to Shakespear Park to try out one of their walking tracks. The weather wasnt flash so we gave the longer 2 hour ones a miss and tried out the lesser 1 hour round walk which appeared to involve the best scenery as well.<br />
As it was the walk only took us 45 mins and involved a couple of hill climbs. Amazing views over towards the city and North Shore. Took along the cam and took some damn nice pics too. -
Virgil, as something of a pedal-pusher, what do you do on the exercise bike? Intervals or steady, how high's the resistance, what's the cadence (RPM)? I ride my bike on the road, but have a go in the gym too, but get bored as batshit unless I do intervals. What do you reckon? Souind like yyou're getting some decent results.

Ive never done anything to special, i should now as its been 3 months since i began. I normally do a hard out 30 min ride though i have done the odd slower 45-60 min but i find that hard has my ass goes numb!<br />
<br />
It can get a bit boring at times so ive started taking long walks again but i have been impressed by the results on the bike, certainly i think a great way to get fit and improve your cardio. Was originally going to get a normal 'real' bike but its limiting to where and when you can ride.
