Well, time has come. I am happy to say: 199 lbs. There is a calmness over me. As happy (and I am happy) as I am with the progress, I know I have more work to be done. I hopped on the recumbent bike last night for 2.5 miles. I didn’t feel like watching TV, I had already been on the computer long enough, so I hopped on the bike, with my slippers on, and just started pedaling.  I rode a half mile, and it needed adjustments. My DH helped, and I hopped back on and rode some more.  I had been having problems with cold hands and feet, especially when I go to bed. Let me say, riding warmed me up just fine, and I slept like a rock.I am anxious to go see how everyone else did. What a great way to start February.
