Biking since May 10th! Yesterday I did a 25 mile ride with avg speed of 15! The ride included several steep hills and I went right up them in my granny gear! Going down was even better, topping out @ 26.1mph~got a little scared so braked some We've had temps in 100's with humdity to match, so haven't been out much. Still have logged 400 miles total since May! Also joined Weight Watchers in early June and have lost 10lbs (had to buy new Louis Garneau shorts yesterday in smaller size) I'm sooooo happy!

@Katz, I joined Weight Watchers in August, 2008 weighing 238.6 ( had lost 10 lbs. On my own prior), and I lost 106 pounds on WW! It changed my life! I now maintain around 137 lbs. And I've been on Maintenance for 19 months! You can do it!

Vixen,
Thanks for sharing that you joined WW. How long did it take to lose the 106?
My 25 year old daughter joined with me and we like the program, but it is slow going...even tho we know that is the best way.
I gained 50 pounds in the last 3 years after my place of employment closed. I absolutely loved my job, and now I work in a place that is the total opposite type of place to work. Biking this last few months has been the outlet that I so desperately needed. It is such freedom and rewarding!

Hi Katz. It took 15.5 months to lose 100 lbs. The subsequent few pounds were unintentional. Maintenance is hard though. Hanford in there. It's really about making a lifestyle change.

I successfully installed my Garmin speed/cadence sensor on my bike!
