1 HOUR STATIONARY BIKE 16 MILES

Welcome to the forum Raynette! Congratulations on getting back on the bike - I think exercise is the most important thing a person can do when trying to lose weight (I just went back and re-read part of your message - 16 miles in an hour is outstanding!! I count myself lucky if I can get in 12 - and that doesnt' happen often). And even more important - congratulations on quitting smoking!! I quit 3 years ago in April and it was almost the hardest thing I had ever done (losing weight is the hardest. LOL) It sounds like you are a busy person!!

I'm looking forward to seeing more posts from you. :)
