Yes, they make bikes for lights and tail lights too, but we just have never gotten any. We didnt realize how far we were away from home, and by the time we turned around, it was too late to anything but ride home. We really only were in the dark for about 1/2 hour, but that made for slow slow riding. Who's that is sooooo great about your daughter, there is no better accomplishment than having an impact like that on your kids!!!!!!!!!!!! Way to go!!!! HP, so we are gonna go about 20-25 tonight...it is suppose to be 98 here today, so hopefully we do get that in. I honestly don't know how people go 100 miles. I really don't, my legs were rubber and I could barely walk. Probably next year I will be doing centuries and laughing at this post!!!

Thanks J, nice pound loss....by noon eh??? How about sooner??? HP, the group picture is cool. I took some last night as well. It is hard to take pictures whilst riding down the road!!!!

Oh thanks BG, I love that too!!! HP, I did ride last night...55.59 miles and am so tired and I couldnt' sleep afterwards. It was dark when we got home. I didn't like that at all. We just have these little blinky lights so people can see us, but nothing to help us see. It sucked!! I dont' how people ride that many miles day after day. I feel like I have been hit by a mac truck!!!

Great job!!!! Keep it up and you will get there sooner that you think!!!!!

I am crying right now!!!! You guys are so awesome!!! What great things to say, and boy, you know how to make a girl cry!!!

Check out my picture video I made...use your speakers [ame=http://www.slide.com/r/wn7dplv30z8TrObUUg8KEMB8mIs-ypl9?previous_view=mscd_embedded_url&view=original]Lap-Band weight loss journey -105 pounds!!! by neverenuffracing[/COLO"]Lap-Band weight loss journey -115 pounds!!! by neverenuffracing@@AMEPARAM@@http://widget-d7.slide.com/p1/2666130979408174551/lt_t011_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif@@AMEPARAM@@d7@@AMEPARAM@@2666130979408174551@@AMEPARAM@@lt_t011_v000_s0un_f00[/ame] [ame][/ame]

Did you hear the music too?

Oh I took it off to do something else to it. It has to go through the song three times...I want to make it only once.

three more pages....just sayin

Yes, I agree. You don't want to be able to touch the ground necessarily. We get taught that as kids and it is hard to get out of our heads!!!

Anyone ever planned an anniversary party before?????

ZZ, I am so veeerrrrryyyyyyyyy proud of you!!!! You have made the biggest step ever!!! Getting back into exercising after not doing it is hard to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BB, I have a trainer for my bike and I hate it too!!!! It is not anything like riding outside...

We use to have 4 wheelers....we sold them....

I actually talked to JC the other day and he is fine but very busy with work!!! He is still getting his band filled from his near losing it awhile ago. He is a very good guy and I miss him too!!! C, you will get there too. It is hard to ride when it is hot....

Not only did I get on the scale three times in 5 minutes to be sure that is what it said, but I will have to wait until tomorrow to see if it is the same. I truly doubt it will be. Seems to never stay the same day to day!!

I never change mine either J, that's why I sit at the same number for so long!!!! I lose, then I gain back a few, then I lose it, and then I gain it back....it sucks. I am calling 170 goal for now. But the lower I go, 150 might be it for me. I made DH promise to tell me when he honestly thinks I look the best, and even if I have to put on 5 pounds to be there, I will. I think someone else looking at us, sees better than what we see. Unless of course we are in a 14 swimsuit in the changing room. Right, J????? I would like to think I will have this ridiculous pannus taken off and some rework to my chest....I have always been large on top and they just keep getting smaller and smaller, with more and more loose skin hanging around everywhere. I wonder if someone would of shown me what my body would look like at 37, after having bariatric surgery, and losing a lot of weight, if I would of taken better care of myself? I doubt it. I really doubt it. Thanks for the shout outs!!!

HP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been missing you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not riding tonight either...I have not been on my bike since Saturday....talk about withdrawals, well, I was on it in the house.....but that is NOT the same thing. Thurs, Fri and Sat.........I am hittin' it hard!!! JC has a Trikke????? I wonder if it is hard??? It looks plain fun...not something I would want to do 50 miles on.

I am thinking the Trikke looks like a lot of fun!!!!

I would love to be a mentor and friend to you!!! I am 37 also, with two kids, 20 and 13. I am in school now and looking forward to graduating this December!! If you think you might want to talk some more let me know!!! Deanna

I had the gas pain but up in my shoulder area. Mine was so bad one night I ended up in the ER. Now, the ER doctor told me to do this and it worked. I still do it, if I get gassed up and can't get rid of it. Get down on all fours. Then lower your upper body down till it touchs the floor. So, now your butt is up in the air and your head and chest are on the floor. This lets the gas bubbles escape somehow. You might have to stay like that for a small amount of time before anything happens, and sometimes it doesn't happen until after you get up, but it does work great!!! After every fill I have had, I have gotten gas that night and am in a lot of pain. I use the position and soon the gas is gone!! Good luck and let me know if it works for you!
