Elana,

Thank you so much for your advice. It's not that I'm necessarily hungry on
the 1200 calorie plan, but when I read about what others are doing with
their menus I sometimes wonder if I'm eating enough. I think I will try to
gradually increase my calories (while maybe maintaining my carbs) and add in
more bike work. (I kind of dread it before I start, but after I finish I
feel really good. LOL)

Hi, Linda
I share your feelings about dreading the bike . But the bottom line
is, your body needs it. Over time, biking will become easier for you.
You might not believe it now, but it will. As you build muscles and
endurance, and lose the extra fat, biking will stop being a necessary
evil. You will actually look forward to the workout because you will
learn to associate workout with feelings of satisfaction and
accomplishment.
On the other hand, biking all the time might become boring. I'd
suggest, while the weather is still nice, try to spend as much time as
possible outdoors walking or jogging. Or, if you have access to
tennis courts (or a wall), you might try tennis - also a great workout
and fun. It doesn't matter whether you can play or not - the key is
to run around as much as possible .



You have given me some peace of mind about experimenting. I am very afraid
of backsliding and ever approaching where I used to be. Sometimes I worry
that I could be obsessive about it.

You're very far away from where you used to be, so I don't think it
would be possible for you to suddlenly slide there. You would
definitly notice a weight gain way before it would bring you anywhere
near your original weight. So don't worry. If you do gain, you will
learn what not to do, which is also very important. The goal of
experimentation is to find something that will work for you in the
long term. Take it slow, you'll do great!

Elana
