So I stopped riding a bike when I was in 9th grade and the weight kept increasing so I refused 2 ride bc I would look "dumb" well my husband bought me a bike and a ride along for my baby for his bike so we can do it together well last night I did it I rode the bike was a little shakey but I did it.

Did you have fun? I am in my mid-fifties, but riding a bike makes me feel like a little kid!

Enjoy and congrats! Oh how I miss bike riding. Just three years ago I was mountain biking and riding 50 mile stretches after losing 130 pounds. Mountain biking is such a rush and became such a passion. But a hip injury and 80 pounds put an end to it. I am hoping after surgery I can be out there again next Spring.

Good for you! I just started riding my bike again too and I love it! 50 pounds ago I was uncomfortable riding and my tires kept going flat (lol). Now I enjoy it so much and it will help us to keep losing too!

I love to ride and have ridden even though I wasn't the weight I wanted to be. I have a hybrid bike for bike paths and light off-road riding. I was thinking about buying a lighter weight bike -- mine is 26 pounds -- because it is a little heavy on the road. Well, now that I'm down about 33 pounds, it's amazing how much lighter my bike is! :)

I agree -- riding bikes is just downright fun if done the right way -- with people you like to be with, in beautiful places and at a pace where you can throw your legs out and say "Weeee......" sometimes. :)

I started cycling this season/summer. I ride once a week about 25 miles. I really enjoy it and it is a good way to burn calories because I am not a runner. In 2 weeks i am riding in a fundraiser...40 miles.

I have fallen in love with cycling. Training for my first triathlon and the cycling part has become my favorite.

I just started riding a few months back and I love it. I've tried other exercises and haven't found any I like better than cycling.

I am buying a bike as well. Test rode a bike on a 5 mile bike trail where I live after riding the bike at the gym for 10 miles. The real bicycle was way more fun and the intensity was great, it was an awesome workout.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
