What's old is new!

I've had my recumbent bike for what, 2 years?  I never liked it because of the resistance in pedaling.  I made myself get on it last night and finally figured out how to change that!!!  I pedaled 1/2 mile without stopping!  For me, that's a great thing!  I will work on increasing the distance and time but at least I've started.  There are 15 people now doing the Biggest Loser at work.  That's $300 in the pot!  I don't know if I really stand a chance but the only way to have any chance at all is to stick with my plan on eating and to move my body!  Even if I don't win any money, I am a winner if I lose weight!
