Comment posted Why am I not losing weight or inches? Any SENSIBLE ideas? by corrinaayad.

Sometimes if you exercise alot and more than you are use to doing it will cause you to gain muscle. You have probably lost weight but are adding muscle so it doesn't seem like you are losing anything. If you keep up at the rate you are going you will definitlely see a difference soon.

  • congratulate yourself on the changes you've made, that takes major motivation! weight loss is alway subtle, if the fitness is a new lifestyle then you won't just stop once you get to that desired size. also look for other benefits, such as increased energy & strength. oh & keep in mind, the muscles adapt to the same workouts, so remember to mix it up & add new challenges, that keeps things interesting for you too.

  • Heart Rate Monitor?
    Take a look at the Omron HR 100C heart rate monitor. It is one of the best selling heart rate monitors on Amazon. It is quite inexpensive at around $30 on Amazon and delivery is free. The Omron comes with a chest strap and a wrist watch. It is popular for people using a heart rate monitor for the first time.

  • Bike computers?
    Check out the cyclocomputers on Nashbar.com. They always have something going on. I have always liked Cateye. They have been around forever. I still use the wired computer I got back in the early 80s. Nashbar has the Cateye CC-HR200DW (heart rate/wireless) on sale for $140, or if you want to splurge, the Garmin GPS is less than $200. I have a separate GPS unit I can use for other things besides biking, but it is nice to have a all-in-one unit. Just knowing the elevation is helpful. The things you list that are necessary to you, you can get for around $40+ (regular price) or $25+ (on sale). Good luck.

    here's another one that's even cheaper, though it only gives you your heart rate:
