Hi everybody. I am on a mission to lose weight this summer. Perimenopausal hot flashes and extra weight are not what I consider a good time, and though I've let myself drift so far from where I was, cycling-wise, I'm taking control, and starting NOW to get back somewhere in the vicinity of where I use to be. I'm determined.
I have a goal to ride Mon, Wed, and Fridays, indefinitely. It is a goal I've put off for about 5 years now, but this is IT. (I also hike with dog a lot, and do a lot of physical work in the garden). I have been just doing some trails around my cabin, but plan on taking to the pavement and getting in some time soon, gradually. I am 178 now, and goal to be at least 149 next Autumnal Equinox (Sept 22).

Uh oh, wrong direction, 142 this Friday. Guess that's what happens when you have a week off of work and it is so easy to eat everything in the house.

Well, my plateau continues, and I'm not going to make my June goal. But, I'm not going to gain, either, darnit!

But that's weeks, not months.

I'm holding. This has been the most stressful week of my life. And that stress is not going to go away anytime soon with our family in crisis. I'll just be happy to hold for now. but I'm not giving up.

157.4 which is damn impressive considering it's TTOM and I feel like a fat, bloated cow right now.

I'm with you TsPoet. Unlikely to make my goal, but not gaining either. Still a few weeks to go yet, though!
