Well, this isn't too much of a success story, I guess, but I finally forced myself to ride my bicycle more, and even to the gym. At first I hated it (REALLY hated it), and the ol keester was NOT too happy with me..

But after a couple weeks I've found that its my preferred mode of transportation. I love feeling the wind blow on my face and being out in the fresh air, rather than stuck in my car. I ride down multiple bike paths and see so many awesome and wonderful things I would've never had the chance otherwise.

I feel my legs getting stronger, and honestly since I hate running on the treadmill, it helps me get in my cardio when I go to the gym.

So, little baby steps!

    Yeah, I've heard it takes about six weeks to get used yo exercise and actually want or enjoy it. I can't wait to pass that mark so I don't dread my workouts anymore and start seeing an actual difference. :wink:

    You're doing great! Slow and steady is the way to go when it comes to weight loss. My goal is to do something for myself every time I lose 10lbs this way it keeps me motivated. I started this whole thing on 12/28 and I'm down 9lbs so far :-) We can do it!

    I saw a guy lose 6 stone in 5 months with lengthy mountain bike rides. It's a GREAT form of cardio!

    Well done and keep it up :flowerforyou:
