I've been biking for about two or three months, but not regularly due to health problems. However, I have dropped two sizes and my clothes are falling off me since March when I started. I have lost 15 lbs since mid May.

But that weight loss is more due to changing to a healthy, calorie limited, low fat and low carb diet and also swimming and other exercises in addition to biking in Mid May. I agree, I didn't get to 300 lbs overnight and it does take eating less, doing more and being patient, consistent over TIME.

I can FEEL the difference in my body besides seeing the weight go off. I am losing about one to two pounds a week. I know this exercising, biking and eating smart is working for me. Biking is so much fun compared to all the exercises I do!!

It does take time, and calorie reduction over that time for the weight to come off, since you are building muscle at the same time and that's heavier than the fat that's coming off. I have half of me to lose, down to 150 lbs from where I was at . I am at 287 lbs now down from 301, so that's major progress in my book.

Love yourself enough to eat healthy and you'll never be hungry again. I crave my cucumbers in vinegar more than chocolate now. Eating fresh fruit is far better than a brownie.

But I do indulge myself now and then and don't beat myself up if I don't stick to my eating plan every day. It adds up over time. The exercise, the eating right and the biking, living happily..

Hang in there and kudos to all of you who are fat ladies on a bike who are changing your lives, two wheels at a time!!
