I have to get down to 125 lbs. and 15% body fat before I will cycle. I want to be the healthiest I can be. My goal is to cycle in September/October.

I am usually around 130 lbs, but due to severe depression, my weight has gotten up close to 180. I have stayed around 155 for a couple of months now. I used to lift weights and do about an hour on the elliptical 5 - 6 days a week. I am slowly getting back into that habit. So far, it is only weights and elliptical (30 min) 3/week.

I have promised myself that I will not cycle, until I am at my goal weight and body fat %. How many of y'all are the same way? I could really use a weight loss/exercise buddy during this stressful time.

Looking forward to meeting y'all!!!

I would love to lose weight with you. I am about 20 lbs overweight right now and thorugh all of the ups and downs cant bring myself to lose weight. So having someone to do it with would be great. But I noticed thay your ticker says "On Hold" ?????

I too have lots to lose before starting the process in February. I have already lost 42 pounds and would like to lose another 27 to get to where I am what is best for my body. I have been telling family and friends that I am doing this to get ready for a vacation but the truth is I am doing this to be as healthy as possible for a baby. I don't want to tell anyone the true reason though because I am afraid they will want to be too involved in my journey. I love my family but sometimes they can be a little too involved in my life.

I felt the same way too, and planned on trying to get healthier and cycling this October or November. However, I lost my job with full IF benefits in March and decided to cycle right away on COBRA to avoid losing out on the opportunity. Boy, am I glad I did. Even though I'm heavier than I wanted to be, I have no regrets. I wish you ladies the best of luck in your endeavors!
