1 month down!
 
Ok, 1 month has passed and I still actually want to ride to school! I did the first week on Monday and Friday only, but soon went to a Monday, Wednesday, Friday routine.

So 4 weeks and 220 miles later, I've lost... well, just 3 pounds. But hey, it'll keep dropping.

Thanks for all the tips and support so far!

Way to go! :)

How far is your ride?

Ha! Just weighed myself this morning and dropped another pound.'

My ride is 10 miles one way. I get to school usually around 8 a.m. and shower at the rec center. It's a pretty good setup and I definitely have my routine down. If I didn't ride on one of those days, I'd probably go to my tues-thurs classes by accident!

Great job! And yes, the weight should come (assuming you're also being careful about diet, etc...)

One thing on the weight loss: Don't exclusively look at the LBS. Be aware of other things like waist measurement, etc... I found that while I've ~only~ dropped 25 lbs in the past year, I've also taken over 2 inches off my waist, the rest of me is back to looking solid, not so flabby, and there's obviously improved cardiac fitness.
