I need to lose weight cause I weigh pretty much 300 lbs. right now, I have gained 30 since I got hurt in spring, I have not been able to do hardly anything for 7 months, can finally go to town on a stationary bike now so gradually doing more each week.

I just bought a high end recumbent bike, like one at a gym, so I can go longer my current one sucks ass, so this will help.

I do think I am the fastest fat ass out there though, LOL.

PS - I hope to get some of my bike porn photos up here by the weekend ( AKA tricked out RM250 ), so everyone can have a badass background, HAHA!

You should play some hoops to loose the weight Mike. I,ve seen people loose alot of weight playing full court hoops. I threw down a powerful tomahawk dunk, 2 weeks ago on a concrete tiled flour. So I,m thinking of playing d.3 hoops in 3 years. My trucking weight is 178 , 6,2 barefoot if I make myself tall and get a lump on my head on the measuring stick haha. I tried to get down to 167 for this past summer,if was tough to get rid of the upper body muscle. From oral surgery I got down to a scarry 162, I was pigging out on fish and wasn,t putting weight on, so eat fish if you want to drop pounds Mike. I,m in ILinois for orientation, I had a physical skills test today, likting weights, cardio,etc. 1.75 hrs. with a heart monitor on, then a dot cdl physical, rode test, tons of paper work and testing on hazmat,etc.  I  raced though the 90,s into 2002, then a serous back surgery, then back riding in 06. This past summer I quit trucking, to race, focusing on the vet national classes 40 a,35a it didn,t turn out, 20k plus in debt  so now I have to stay out trucking till March, I plan on taking time off in Florida at least once. Next year I might race Millville once, in 2012 more races but just for fun. I,m not quiting a job to race ever again, my speed is top 3 vet expert  with 4 years off a bike and my 1st ride,which don,t mean nothing I just ride for the feeling anyway and don,t care about results.

Well right now and for the last 7 months been on and off crutches cause of femur, so that hasnt helped anything, finally able to ride a stationary bike now for longer then 10 minutes, and using a total gym 2 times a week, and doing some stuff with 20 lb. dumbells, up to 20 minutes now on bike, go to doctor in a week and a half, so if Im cleared to not use crutches I can really start pushing it then.

And my diet is horrible, I have no control, lol, and we eat out a bunch at work, and its not good stuff, so thats my biggest issue right now is getting that under control, I have gotten better with portion size, now just need to eat better food.

I got to this size about 8 yrs ago after high school, then lost 85 pounds so I know what to do, just a matter of making myself do it and resist the temptation called yummy food, LOL

Yeah, i try not to let it control my life, although it does. And i'm already underweight for my age so the weight loss just makes me look like a a toothpick haha seems like everytime I get a lot of muscle built up, I get sick and get skinny.

Never raced a bike before. In fact I've only managed to not fall off my kx the last couple of times I've ridden it.

I have entered a hare scrambles today in the novice class. Is I think 25 mins, which should be about 5 laps of a 2 mile track. If I can get 3 out I'd be stoked (you have no idea emmuch I suck) Is at a place just outside binghamton NY, probably 20-30 mins from broome-tioga, run by these guys http://www.squaredealriders.com/

So, looking forward to this :)

I used to compete in club level car stuff in oz, this in comparison is cheap. Would cost about 180 a year for a rally licence,entry fee for a supersprint (race track, 3 hot laps and in - maybe get 4-6 sets) would be anywhere from 200-300 bucks, plus fuel to get to the track , fuel to run the car, and bare minimum I would be out 400 bucks for 40 mins track time. A run at wakefield park (involving a motel room) would see no change from 600.
 
Rallies were 150-350 and invariably in the middle of nowhere, so fuel to get there (in oz it is about 5-6 a gal) was tough, usually need to factor in a night of accom and if you are doing a 200 mile rally, the rally car would chew a wad of fuel too - was getting say 16mpg on the transport and well under 10 on the specials. Could usually con the nav to pay half the entry fee, but probably 600-900 an event not including consumables like brakes and tyres gets real damn expensive. This is all at a club level. I crew with a guy racing australian formula 2, he budgeted 1k a round to go circuit racing in the state series. when he raced national stuff, he'd budget 20k a year - that was 8 years ago too - would no doubt be more than that now.

So, 25 to nominate for a class sounds great to me! just need to not fall off :p they have an 8 round winter series. Should keep me busy if I get a few rounds in.

Sounds expensive! There is a really good A-Class rider in my town who recently stopped racing to get into car racing but I have a feeling he is going to stop that pretttty quickly once he finds out he does not have the $$ for it. Good luck at your race, let us know how it goes!
