Today's my last weigh-in here. I am up another lb - that's 3 in the last 3 weeks. I have been working out like crazy (not to lose weight but just because I love riding) and burning lots of calories so people suggested I increase my eating. Well I did, I've only gained weight. I've only been eating about 1800-2000 a day so I don't get it. Anyway, I went to a kinesiologist (sp?) and had my body comp done and she said I was in great shape and if I kept eating normally and kept working out, the last excess fat would come off. SO - I am going to stop watching the scale and instead will keep my eye on the measuring tape. Clearly it gets too hard to measure at this point when I've only got 3-5lbs to lose and I am gaining muscle along the way.
Good luck to everyone else! I have lost 25 lbs in the last year - you can do it too. Just make sure you get back on the wagon every time you fall off, and give yourself LOTS of time. Unrealistic time frames are just frustrating. 2 lbs a month will still get you where you are going. (And as Eddy Merxks (sp?) says - ride lots...)

I am down a pound!!!! Which is fantastic considering I was a judge for a BBQ championship and ate a ton this past weekend and didn't get in my normal miles!
Rode about 81 miles last week and went to yoga. But I feel good, so that's what counts I guess. Keep it up ladies! Glad to see others are losing!
I'm down 23lbs total now, since the end of January.
