I heard first when you start the losing weight (diet and excercise) you first lose 8-10 pounds of water and after that you lose about 2-3 pounds a week on average. What is the process how long do you have to wait for the first 8-10 pounds of water weight? Why also after working out several months after you lost some weight nothing happens. I heard it’s called a "platue" and you have to find some way to shock your body so you can continue to lose weight. So if anyone knows please help and let me know and can you please be detailed about it? Provide me about how many months for the first sign of weight loss and so on. Thanks much!!

I am a regular mountain biker, but like to road-ride, too. However, my full-suspension is way too much drama for the pavement and even my hardtail is too heavy for efficient road travel. I want something lighter and better suited. The problem is, I am not super fond of the "feel" of road bikes. I saw that Trek (my fave) had "fitness" bikes and "urban" bikes and I am wondering if anyone can tell me what are the advantages/disadvantages to choosing a fitness or urban bike over a road bike?

THANKS!
Just to add, a fitness bike is not a stationary bike. It is an actual style of bicycle like urban, road, mountain, triathalon, etc. I was just hoping that someone had some info on what might be better suited for me. Thanks to anyone who can help!

does anyone know how to start out a very blunt yet emotional letter to a gymnastics coach that is literally going crazy. so my mom and her work together at a gymnastics place…my mom is the only reason that people go and compete. she started the buisness. but my other coach thinks i am a dis respectful teenager (trying to go behind her back) for trying to do something positive for my community and do a little 4 minute performance to promote health and fitness…she already turned down the chance to do it, but she found out that "i was going behind her back" and "stealing her buisness" she used to live with me for crying out loud..i love her but come on!! she kicked me off of the gymnastics team.(which is going to hurt her buisness very badley)…….i just want to know if anyone can help me with trying to write a letter to make her feel like shit..with emotion.

thanks!
