Won't lose weight
20 weeks tomorrow commuting to work completely via bicycle, running errands and appointments too. I have racked up over 1,500 miles. I ride between 6 and 8 miles on the way to work AND on the way home. I lost a bit of weight at first...absolutely plateaued and actually started gaining back again. Frustrating as crap. Food…

Blood Panel
The biggest kick in the rear I have ever received towards making a permanent change. More like a kick in the stomach.

High Cholesterol turnaround?
Three weeks ago, got the bomb from the doc. "You have very high cholesterol..." It's 270. I've read and he recommended to keep my daily intake to at or below 200mg of cholesterol and it should come down in the test within a few months. I've been averaging about 150mg per day for the last three weeks. I want to keep it that…
