... and unlike my old one, this one has a backrest. With the damage in my neck and the damage in my S/L vertebrae, I can't afford to have the deterioration in the middle of my back worsen. This bike takes all the strain off my spine... I may only be doing one mile at a time, but its a start towards keeping my ankles, knees and hips from causing any more problems. My doctor also has me on Vitamin D for my joints, along with glucosomine. I hope to see some improvement soon... I'm so bored with sitting!

I too bought an exercise bike. I got a recumbant one (I sit and pedal out in front of me). It has been a big help to me with my weight loss. I have lost 21 pounds, which isn't much considering all that I need to lose, but I FEEL so much better! I have increased stamina and tons more energy! I hope you have great results!

Mine is like that, too... I had the other type, and it ended up as a coat rack!LOL! Finding out over the weekend that I'd lost 6 pounds more than I thought has been a real boost for me... all of this is a fresh start, and we are wise to do it. Over time all we hope for will come back, and if it doesn't, at least we won't be where we were! Anything that happens is an improvement and we WILL feel better, have more energy, be encouraged to keep going. We're gonna make it this time!

I 'biked' 2 miles today... I was so proud!LOL!
Yes, I love fish... one of my favorite things! Its hard to find it here without breading or flour on it, but I will go to the fish market in town and get the good kind! I really love it steamed, with lemon rind and herbs...mmm!
Thank you for the encouragement... I think I'll be good as (almost) new soon!
