No stopping from here, but this weekend was the litmus test on just how much progress it had (or possibly hadn't made), and I'm happy to report that it was no longer a major contributing factor to my riding abilities.
That is all.
That's AWESOME news!!!!!!1 -

Doing great so far, but it's still early:)1 -
I can totally relate @angelacatheart !!!!! I lost 52 pounds from Aug 2016 to May 2017. I got down to 118 pounds and looked terrible, skinny fat is what they call it I think. Then life got stressful, I quit logging and I gained 15 back. Got back on track again in January and am determined to lose the last 8 pounds. If it takes months upon months, I am ok with that!!! I just want to look healthy this time

Totally doable - just get your mind straight!

Everyone always says "you didn't gain the weight overnight," but I sure gained it a lot faster than I can lose it.
30 day streak and I have lost 4lbs. I could find that much again next week before my period starts.
I don't even bother setting x weight lost in y time goals. I set logging goals, nutrition goals, fitness goals and try to remember that every right choice is better than getting fatter and sicker, no matter what the scale says.5 -

I totally agree with you on this @concordancia !!!!
It's not necessarily the weight I'm worried about, I just want to feel healthier and fit:)

Aw man! We need that! I'd have bank. We get money for meeting daily step challenges. $1 for 300 steps in 5 minutes 6x/day, $1 for 3k steps in 30min and $1 for over 10k steps

Welcome Ladies, Let's make this a TERRIFIC Thursday!!!!0

YES, Bring on Spring 1

I am 43. I need to loose about 12 pounds to start. Then I have another goal after that but I want goal one first. I stepped on the scale after a nasty back injury and the holidays and was like OMG, I've gained 10 pounds. Mine is all food. I stay active ( average at least an hour a day at the gym 6 days a week) but I adore eating large portions and cheese and nuts and carbs and I stopped logging over the holidays and ate everything.1

I made the mistake of wearing shorts to dance class last night. And I had to stare at all the jiggling bits in the mirror all night right next to the super thin, toned legs of the 20yr olds.3 -

Wow. I'd like that step incentive! We get $600 a year if we meet the BMI target, blood pressure target, blood sugar target and cholesterol Target.
I know they offer nutrition and exercise classes at my work. but not for a monetary incentive. We used to get $50/yr with Virgin Health if we took a survey. Now work offer Weight loss program where they genetically test for the obesity gene and you meet with a nutritionist.
I would like the incentive for stepping and meeting BMI and lab goals.1 -

I wear yoga pants. The compression style ones at least hide the jiggle and cellilute.

@angelacatheart
I have 35 grams of Kellogg's bran buds with my eggs every day. 93 cal, 15 fiber. The serving size is 30 G for 80 cal, 13 fiber. I just use a bit more. I have it with 3 oz low fat milk and a bit of Splenda. They are yummy and tons of fiber.1 -

The protein to calorie ratio is too low for me plus I agree with you, they just don't taste very good.1 -
OK, so that's a big NO for those cookies, Thanks Ladies I will not try them:)
