Yahhhhhh Jennifur...WTG!!!!!!!! Congrats on the three pounds!!!! Losing, you KNOW you are great!!!!!

cchristys, good job!!!! You are the banded bandit!!! You have more bands then you know what to do with them!!! Ok, I did my hour strength training on the bowflex this a.m. This p.m. rode bike 10 miles. Averaged about 13-14 mph. Lots of calories burned here!!

Juli, drop your daughter off on your way out, my daughter would love to watch her!!!! She loves little ones... JC....I loved the "how to make it not so hot outside" story....LOVED it!!! BG....I will pm.... Juli, WHAT??? smart asses???? why no, but I do have a flashing ass now!!!! Is that the same thing????

Wen, so glad you're joining are little group here......Losing is really great, isn't she?????!!!! I really think she is dynamite!!!!

Thanks losing...you are so great!!! How are you feeling these last few days? Looks like you are doing your thing on the elliptical!!!!

Annie....there you are..I was wondering where you went....I don't know I just do it. It is so damn hot sometimes, but I try to go in the morning and/or at night after 8. I don't know of any other tricks, except be like Juli, and go up big hills, and then reaaaaalllllllllly fast down the other side...that would cool you off a bit!!!! I think you really have to be careful with the heat and keep hydrated!!!!!!!!! Make sure you are not riding in the heat of the day....I don't know what else. Someone else will chime in with some really good advice too!!!!!

I was wondering if anyone would get upset if I started a new exercise accountability thread for EACH month instead of just one big one that goes on and on.

BG, I am going to put some of the ingred. on the back on my seasoned bread crumbs container. onion garlic celery paprika salt also it says romano cheese.... HTH

Juli, Just because you are super speedy quick on your bike and you can ride 3 gazillion miles in a day....doesn't mean you can just ditto what I say....:heh::heh::heh::heh::heh: J/K....anyways...BG....how is your day going? Are you riding away your frustrations and did you leave your madness at the door?????? Let us know.... Juli, ya know I love ya!!!!

LOL...I think everyone is in now!!! Let's all update weekly please....that way if someone is having a hard time we all can jump in and give support!!!!!!! Losing, you are so great!!! I just thought maybe someone didn't know how to copy and paste. I know some of the folks are new, so I didn't know if they were new to computers too!!! I think sometimes people don't read through the whole thread so just start posting. Anyways....hope everyone has a great weigh this week! My weigh day is THURSDAYS!!!!! THATS TOMORROW!!!!

Renee, clean it off, blow the dust off and get back on!!!! You can do it!!!

BG!!!! Way to go...what a good attitude!!!! You are right though, that is exactly what they want you to do, is leave!!! Way to sock it to them, stay and make THEM miserable!!!! You are gonna be great!!! Just remember the leave it at the door!!!! JC....oh goodie, your back!!!! I am glad you got your project done, disappointed your not riding across America!!!!! OMG...only 10 more pounds to goal??????????????????????????????????????/ You freakin rock!!!!!!! I bet you are so damn proud and rightly so!!!!!!! You are doing so good!! Two miles???? God, you are my hero!!!!! 125 lbs lost in 10 months....biking 50 miles, running two miles.......what more could you ask for?????? You are the man!!!!!

I only told my two kids, my parents, DH parents, one professor, and one friend. I was soooo afraid of bad, rude comments that I didn't want anyone else to know. At this point in the game I am sharing more and more. I have told one SIL....I have two brothers and 3 BIL's. Only one BIL knows so far I think. My SIL that I told, asked me point blank what I was doing to lose weight. I am usually pretty good about replying fast, but had a hard time lying to her. She is quite heavy herself and I thought maybe she might benefit from hearing about it. ALL three of my SIL are overweight, but I don't think any of them have an co morbitities as of yet to deal with. People are really starting to notice the weight loss and I am so damn proud of all the hard work that I have done to get this way that I am not going to worry so much about keeping it a secret. I am just going to have to be mentally prepared for the negatives if I get any comments.

For those you might not know how to copy the latest numbers.... 1. Go to the last post with everyones name and numbers on it. 2. Highlight all of the info...the names and numbers. 3. Right click on mouse or keyboard and then find copy in pop up window 4. Go to quick reply window and then right click again and find paste in pop up window. 5. Waaaahhhh lllaaaa there are all the numbers. Sorry if everyone knows, just thought maybe some didn't know how to do it. If someone has better way, by all means, correct me. PLEASE!!!!

WOW, I am glad I read that Harley, I was going to do a colon cleansing thing...glad I didn't.....

It is a nice machine. I got it mainly because it had the leg press on it. I hate doing squats and lunges....HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT!!!! It is nice but big but I have the room in my basement. It is very very quiet too!!! I am just glad that I have something that I can do here at home, instead of having to go out and do it!!

Hoosier, no sweat. If you have all day, don't worry about it then. Rest when you need to and go when you can. I bet you will surprise yourself at how good you do. I did 10 miles this morning and 11 miles tonight with DH. I takes me about 1 hour to do 10 miles...so it is definitely not going to take you all day. You rock!!!! About the bike shorts....I looked at some online and they are not too expensive. Around $30.00 for the cheapest. I went to bike store today and the biggest size they had was XL...wow, who the hell are those gonna fit....NOT ME!!!! The problem I have with ordering some online is I don't want them to be way too small, and I don't know how they fit bike shorts. But, you can also google bile shorts and come up with several choices. I did that. Thanks Juli, I will. I picked up a Utah cycling newspaper today and it has several rides in it. I am not is Utah though, so I will be googling this, if I can ever get off LBT... BG!!!!! Where are you tonight???? Are you crying in DH arms???? I hope you are riding your heart out and having a great time!!! Oh, just so you all know...I have a flashing ass now too!!!!! I love it...and it makes a HUGE difference....people are moving way over now instead of trying to drive right next to me....now I just need to get a headlight.... JC....WHERE ARE YOU?????? Maybe he is on a long long long long ride, coming to see us all. Its a ride across America for JC.....yoooooooo hhooooooooo..... SHOUT OUT TO JC!!!!!! COME BACK!!!!

lol...I know...I couldn't believe that when I looked at the calendar.....welcome all who have joined!!!!!

If it is an emergency situation they have to pay. For example, if you had an erosion, they would have to pay to take it out. But, they would not pay to put another one in!!

Well, the next hog feed is what??? Labor Day???? I just don't see how people can keep stuffing themselves so damn much!!!!!

wisegrl....oh, ya know I was gonna join Curves, but I had to make an appointment to go in to look at the place...It felt weird..like why couldn't I just go in whenever I wanted and look at the machines. It made me think that I would have to have an appointment time to go do the workouts too!!! SOOOO....I bought a bowflex instead!!! I think you are really going to enjoy it!!! I really do.

BG!!!! What???? I am coming over that and kickin' some serious ass!!!! I HATE PEOPLE LIKE THAT!!!! They think they know it all and think that no one can tell them a different way to do it!!! Freakin morons!! You don't need this stress right now, and come to think of it, you said you were having a hard time right now with losing, and I betcha that is EXACTLY what is causing it...the stress from work!!!! Working with women SUCKS big time!!! I have done it several times and would much rather work with men. I am glad you are getting away then, you need a stress free environment to enjoy yourself for awhile. Do the women at work know about your band??? Hoosier....WTG!!!! I am soooooo proud of you!!! That is soooooooo dang awesome!!!! They don't have things like that around here, but I keep looking. I mean, they DO, but most of them are in the mountains, and I can't do a lot of mountains...can do HILLS, but not our mountains. If you have been in the Rockies, you know what I mean.... I am really gonna have to come up with some long term goals here.... I need something to work for...I need a competition to do...is the Relay For Life count???? I am going to go walk in that with MIL who has had breast cancer three times!!!!! In five years!!! It keeps coming back. I don't think they will let you ride though....gonna have to walk... You know what BG....you kinda look like Trisha Yearwood in your avatar...are you really Trisha???? Well, I guess if you were you wouldn't be working at a hospital huh?? LOL...ok..ladies....talk at ya laterz...

I think tipping should be used for GOOD service. Good service rarely happens anymore!!

hmmm that is interesting to know that....it there a reason there are no basements or attics???? Well, I still have one at home and she is now moved downstairs but there is enough room for my equipment. Yes, I would like a spin bike too. Hey, do you think that you will have to give up running because of your ankle??? What would you turn to if you did????
