When I started WW in Jan, I worked out occasionally- usually 20 minutes on the elliptical trainer, and sometimes weights (machines) at the "Y"

I just tried to stick to the 18 points a day as much as possible and lost 12-13 lbs.

I stalled out from mid-May through through early July. I started riding a bike for errands in May, then when I started summer vacation, I rode a little more- 3-5 miles a few times a week. The plateau was the big motivating factor in doing more cycling, but then I realized how much I enjoy it. I think I was riding about 10 -15 miles twice a week in early August, and have steadily been increasing since then. I started losing almost a pound a week in late July- until the last two weeks when it has slowed down again.

Over Labor Day weekend I rode 70 miles - and that's when the big question arose about how much I should be eating, as I was absolutely ravenous the next two days.

I'm eating about 20-22 points now, and a little more on a day that I ride for more than an hour.

What's your experience like?
