New guy, I got back on the bike two years ago, and have been serious for the last year, Mme. would say fanatical...
its helped, Ive dropped 10 lbs...
Ive probobly gained 10 in muscle....
dont get hung up on the pounds, Ive only weighed myslef for the first time in 4 or 5 months...
its how you feel.... and you will feel much better!!
Good luck and keep it up!!
