    Welcome, tnhamilton/hrsel! Let's keep this thing afloat. I can use the motivation. Sounds like you are doing an awesome job. That's wonderful! I'm on a good roll, too. I started getting serious toward the end of May this year. Ni looked at some pictures and freaked out how bad I looked, and I KNOW I ride better when I am thinner. So I still have a long way to go, but I feel confident.

    I mostly ride a stationary bike for exercise. I try to get on four days a week, but that's not always practical. I like to hike when I can as well. And of course ride. :)

    Again, welcome.

    Okay since it is Friday I am checking in again, even though I checked in yesterday. I will check back on Fridays! Good news, I rode the bike last night, and I lost a pound! Yay. Amazing how diet and exercise actually work. :).

    Hope you all are doing well! Stay active. :)

    Hi, everyone. Thanks for checking in, Denise. Welcome, horselover! What's your actual name? I know I missed the Friday deadline, but it's been awhile since I reported, so I thought I would post anyway.

    Last week was bad--I missed Monday and Wednesday and only exercised on Friday. I use early meetings at work as an excuse, but I really could have gotten up early and exercised. This week was better...trying to get back on track. I am still doing my little walk/job around the neighborhood. I am jogging further and walking less, so that's good. I also upped my jump rope routine to 120 skips per session. I am trying to figure out an effective way to use my arm weights. I have a sore shoulder from a fall last year off Sky, and I'm trying to build it up. I looked up some exercises on youtube, but I think I am going to try jogging with them this week to see if I can stand it.

    I also found some core exercises on youtube that I can tolerate.

    I haven't lost any weight, but that wasn't my goal. I actually am hoping I lose 5 pounds so my clothes will fit better, but I know that won't happen until I start eating better, and I am very lazy about my diet. DH and I have a juicer and make a batch of veggie juice once a week, but that is not enough. Frankly my eating habits are terrible.

    Dewey,
    Sounds like you really are doing well. Don't short change yourself. Some weeks will always be tougher than others. I guess the trick is not to have one bad week and then say the heck with it, and give up. ;-)

    I will be away this week, but back by this weekend. Going to visit my mom for her 70th birthday in Michigan. Hopefully I won't blow the diet completely. But I should strive to get in some exercise weather it is walking or borrowing my mom's bike. Something. That'll be the goal. :)

    Have a great week, all!!

    Still working on it! Lost two more pounds, yay! This week I don't feel like I have a lot of motivation, but I will be sure to get in some exercise. I started PT for my shoulder today, which may be part of it.

    Hope everyone is doing well.
