Hi All! I'm looking to lose 35 - 40 lbs after having my third child. I've lost weight before so I know I can do it, but right now I'm dealing with a back issue that I need to resolve so I haven't been working out. Going to the dr. Tuesday to find out more and I'm really hoping they give me the go ahead to work out so I can start working toward my goals! Hope to find some motivation here and also to be able to support others in reaching their goals.

    Welcome! I've only been a member for five days, but am so pleased to see that the site is so user-friendly! I've never been a calorie counter so this is great for me and helps to hold me accountable! Good luck to you and I hope your back report is positive! :happy:

    Greetings, i to have back issues and exercise is a challenge, i find rideing a stationary bike and when the weather improves possibly the real thing, is easiest on my joints. I live by a bike trail, and my goal is to ride most of it, or at least 1/4, (Its many, many miles long), i'll have to look it up,-- by summer.

    I checked it out from start to finish, one way, the trail is about 21 miles long, thats why i thaught maybe 1/4, or perhaps 1/2 the distance, although who knows, i may ultimately go the distance!!!!
