Nice post, Moonduck. We're of similar philosophies, although I don't bike.
If you read my prior post, on Nov. 17 I was 249.
This morning, I was 217. I'm getting compliments. My BP was 123/79.
A note of encouragement, and a note of caution: You've done very well so far, but at 5'11", very few people are "large-framed" enough to carry 220. Keep pushing for the weight loss. Diet and exercise will definitely do it. Also, unless steroids are involved, depending on your age, 5 lbs of muscle in a year is a very significant gain. I like your attitude on body composition, but it's unlikely that muscle gain is keeping your weight up much. Much more probable is that your body has hit a plateau, and you just have to break through it.
And be careful with the dead lifting! An injury can really throw you off track.
Kudos on a job well done so far.
