Thank you everyone for your response. I will definitely be picking up a food scale this week, and plan on tracking that a bit better. I appreciate all the advice and support :)

Personally i LOVE the look, but they aren't practical for my lifestyle. Keep in mind they will fall off eventually, just make sure you follow all after care advice to get the best results. One of my best friends got them steady for about 6 months, and loved them, but got sick of paying for them.

Thanks for your reply, i dont have RPM'S just time, speed, distance, and calories, but this is sort of what i try to do on an extremely basic, reduced scale. :)

sammama, Thanks! i definitely think im guilty of underestimating how many calories im actually eating. Im finding it hard to calculate and log when i cook so many meals from scratch. Rose, Thank you also. I know this will be along journey, and i definitely see this as a stepping stone to be able to do more and different…

Thanks! During the school year i have to walk to kids to and from school, which is only about a half a mile, but that kills me waaaay worse than the bike. Btw, love your name :D

Thanks! :) i honestly just want to get it over with as fast as possible. My hubby will be happy to know you share his opinion on that, we are now tied :p

My only real goal is too lose weight without surgery. My biggest fear with or without surgery is having an extreme amount of excess skin. My arms are particularly flabby, so i figure moving them around is better than just hanging by my sides.
