Girl, I am right here with you. In 2013/2014 I lost over 90 lbs, going from the 270's to the 170's. Bad stuff happened, I stopped taking care of myself, and by end of 2015 I had gained much of it back. Now near the end of 2017 I'm up over 20 lbs from my 2013 high weight. I've gained 120 lbs in three years. When I write…

Thanks for all the feedback! It sounds like performance-based goals (ie eating, working out, persevering) are the way to go. I decided to join Roni Noone's step challenge starting today (100,000 steps in 7 days!!), and if I complete it above 100,000 for the week I'm buying myself some loose-leaf tea (the new Oprah Chai)…

You can get an intense cardio workout on a recumbent bike. It's all about the intensity level you choose. Recumbent tends to be my "warm-up" machine (on Level 4-6), sure, but when my feet are hurting and I don't feel like standing for my big workout, I hop on and set the level up towards 10 and focus on keeping my rpms up…
