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.
