Both my knees are bad. I have chondromalacia patella, which is pretty much wear on my knee caps/cartilage. My Doc suggested a bike and I have fallen in love with it.

I ride in the evenings. I live in southern AZ so it gets super hot..Plenty of water, I drink about 3 quarts in 15 mile ride.

Not in LA but sharing biking tips would be nice.

I tried riding uphill and man its a killer.. im getting better though. Hope you feel better today

My husband helps me a lot with the kids and he says I seem in a better mood when I get my rides in. I can not commute to work on my bike since I need my vehicle for work purposes. I carry equipment with me and it just wouldn't work on my bike. Im just looking to share info/stories with friends who have similar interest as…

You better believe it... But, it gets better with time. The moment you jump on that bike and ur butt touches the seat you want to automatically jump off but the pain isn't so bad after the first few minutes. The pain is now just a little discomfort but its totally worth it.

Wow, thats crazy. Thanks.

I put in 10 miles almost every day and on Sundays my husband, brother and I ride 22 miles. I have lost 35 lbs since mid February and my brother has lost over 130 lbs since Oct 2012. He is more strict with his diet then I am ;) When I first started I could only ride 3 miles and I was super tired. Keep riding!!

Riding is learning how to balance. Have her push herself with her feet and just coast and balance. Both my kids also learned this way.

SodaStream!!! Less calories and less ingredients then regular cola. Plus you make it yourself and have more control of how much cola syrup you want to use.

I don't know about you but gaining 60 lbs in 6 months is not normal. Yes the cravings were there but I never "pigged out" and as soon as I saw the first 10 lbs come on I really watched what I was eating.. it didn't matter. I kept gaining, I even went for the 2nd round and took the shot again trying to give it the benefit…

Anyone???

This is true. My sister didn't gain weight at all and I took it for 6 months and packed on 60 lbs like the other person did. I was always in a hormonal rollercoaster and I blame this medication for my husband and I separating, everything cleared up when I stopped taking it and our relationship could not be better. My OBGYN…

You look great. It looks like your toning as you go, which is awesome. Congrats.

thanks for all your feedback... ill take it into consideration and try different pair of jeans. Its not so much I can not buy new ones, i just dont want to. I have my old ones that are calling my name but they just dont fit

Im 5'8.5" and 33 yrs old. I need about 50 lbs for my first major goal.

I suppose your right.. i just want to wear my smaller jeans I have and throw out the ones I keep having to wear because they fit around the waist so much better but look so old and worn out..hehehe thats all.

and my thyroid is fine. Just FYI... talk to ur doc

I had some of your symptoms and turns out I have insulin resistance...get checked for that.

cabbage, red onion, tomato, cilantro and lime juice.. toss with salt, pepper and garlic powder.. let sit for a few minutes and enjoy with grilled chicken in burritos (flour tortillas) or tacos (corn tortillas)

Agree and thrown in some shoes too, cause every girl needs a new pair of shoes and some socks..u cant have shoes without new socks.

My husband is already 2 inches shorter then me so when I wear heels he ends up being 5-8 inches shorter.... tell u what/??? He DOESN'T care!!! He will hold my hand and do all the same things any other husband would do. He makes me feel pretty no matter my height....plus he totally understand that some flat shoes are just…

I'm pretty sure if the game had an end to it, this would be it. This can not be DONE! hahahaha j/k!

I started at 282 lbs so I modify and am on the 11th week and don't modify as much. It will get to a point where I will not have to modify as much. Moving is better then not doing anything. Anyway, its not like the videos will only play once for me and I cant play them again. Maybe when I get to the second round I wont have…

sauteed with garlic, onion and mushrooms over a chicken breast yuuuuummmyy!! or sauteed with a little bit of pepper flakes and add a little oyster sauce and a splash of soy sauce on brown rice

I don't shave. I don't have to, there is nothing there to shave :)I get like 4 little hairs, so I just pluck them. Im told im lucky.

You know how they say that dogs look like their owners. I own a Weimaraner and normally feel like one. Big ears, big feet, tall and clumsy.

As a family, maybe 2 times a month. If someone in the family is craving something in particular then I try to make it myself from scratch. Homemade grilled pizza is one of the family favorites.

I have coworkers that warm up their lean cuisines and they stink up the place...I microwave my salmon and if I get a dumb remark I always tell them. Oh Im sorry, but I have smelled worse, you know like those lean cuisine meal things
