This is a wonderful and inspiring thread to read. Thanks to Lynette for starting it and for all of you who have posted to it!! Truly.

I've had a rough couple of years in the weight loss, body image arena. And these years happened to coincide with starting to ride. It's been tough but I must say that reading this thread has totally inspired me to keep going. I've seen a few tiny improvements in the past 4 weeks or so, and you guys are totally making me feel that to keep plodding along is 100% worth it.

Thank you...from the bottom of my heart!!
