That was my weekeness. During the summer month at the peak of my highest weight, a 2 litter coke did not last me more than a day or two at the most. I was miss piggy. My eye opener happened when my doctor told me the result of my blood test. It was lose weight or else. So out goes the soda and fatty food and started exercise on a stationary bike. In a year time, I loss 75 lbs (no typo error-yes 75 lbs!).

However each winter I would gain 10 back and I found that the routine on the stationary bike was just plain BORING. So I took a bike that was given to me and things just went from around the block to commuting. So far I gained back 20 of the 75 lbs loss, but commuting by bike this year I lost back 14 lbs. I am planning to lose another 10 before winter and that alone will put me back a good fit and weight for my height.

I replaced soda with those 0 calories flavor water. It help but I still need a little sugar because my body tends to over compensate by eating too much sugar if I don't have a little bit of sugar to keep the balance.
