Welcome to the new self improvement by taking back your life on a bike Pooks! I can tell you YES it may seem frustrating, I even have seen weight setbacks over winter, but it will start coming off. Like others have said, when you first start riding you will build muscle so the weight loss will not show up right away, however you will find your clothes fit MUCH better. Good luck

Congrats on the improved health and proper diagnosis Mmelindas. I'm glad to hear you're doing well.
