hello to all welcome danj! Well, I was able to get my new bike out this weekend and ride. It was amazing....Never dreamed I would like being in the drops, but I do? Oh well. Love it love it love it!!!!! Cant believe I waited a whole year to get a road bike..... John hurt his back last weekend so he had not been on the bike all week. The 4 of us went out and went to a nearby town to ride.... It was a great change in pace with allot of rolling hills and smelly turkey barns.....yuck!!!! Huge turtles.....nice wild turkeys... And my average was good..... Anyway...just wanted to say hello and check in hope all had a good weekend

Where Is This Located At?

well. I wanted to share with everyone that I have gotten to my 1 year mark. (as of yesterday) As a reward to myself, I got my bike out of lay-way, and went for a ride last night. Love the drops btw!!! Need to make some minor adjustments and plan to go out again today. It is truly amazing how my life has changed in just 1 year. I have depended on this thread to get me through some day's, and it has. Your support of each other on here is amazing, and I truly appreciate it... So, as far as my 1 year mark. I am over the 100lb loss and am happy with that. I know what I should be doing and what I am not doing.....so I still have more to go, but have allot more determination than I did a year ago. I made a power point presentation to show my pictures as I have progressed....Amazed at how I looked this time last year. Thanks to all my online friends who have made this year easier and have been there to kick my ass a few times......I wont mention names....LOL To us all....raise our glasses and lets keep on moving!!!!

and they HAVE TO HAVE OUR BIKING NAME SPELLED WRONG.... I MENTIONED IT TO MY DH.....BUT I WANT AN WOULD NEED TO GO ALONE, AS IT WOULD COST TOO MUCH OTHERWISE. D....WHAT ABOUT YOU????

You know I did not realize it was a weekend ....hmmm if I didnt take my husband and split the room with someone it may be easier to swing...hmmmm thinking

I doubt it J I am going to Florida again in August for work, but taking John this time. Kids fall breaks are also then...so it is for the most part not going to work out for us. I would love to though....?....we will see.... I went and put had Rebecca my 14 year old fitted and her bike put in layway. It is a 2007 model, 7.2 FX (trek) She is pretty excited. Now we are selling her bike...remember the one you rode last year BG in the bike ride in Indiana??? Also am loving Craigs List.....LOL I am getting closer to getting my bike out too....I have a new picture of it...I am sooooo excited....

welcome stormy....we are all a bunch of nuts on here and are all doing it for the love of the sport. It is great to see and hear new faces getting involved...WoHOOOO J...way to go girl......that is awesome on the ride. I heard it was to be a pretty neat one..... We ended up spending the day getting Leslee her shoes and helmet, etc...... So, we took the bike out this evening, and once she got the hang of it she was kickin butt....LOL She wants to go again in the morning....LOL Oh, and we sold our camper today.....looks like I may be getting my new bike sooner than anticipated....LOL f

riding tonight proably a 20 miler and hopefully getting to ride allot this weekend. I walked last night, which was nice.... Are you still going to Kentucky J?? Some friends of ours are going from Jasper, In to it as well. If we didnt already have plans we would go. I may plan it next year.

wedding? D...??? You are loosing it! Rain stop so this girl can get on her bike!!!!

you are awesome D!!!!!

it is the Giant FCR 2 It is a medium here is me and the bike from when I first got it we can help with deleivery..like meeting half way it has less than 200 miles on it it is a 2008

I am happy. I am going to try and sell my bike....maybe be able to get the other faster?? If not, then that is ok too. I would keep it if it does not sell, wont matter, but it is too big for my younger daughter to ride....she is only 5'1 so she needs a small frame size and this is a medium. Oh well. WHich trek do you and your husband have? I love riding, it is better than going to a pet store....and they use to not be able to pry me out of there, now it is bike stores...LOL

JUST TO CLARIFY! The bike we bought this weekend (used) is for my daughter! And thanks!

And of course you won the most bike challenge....HAHAH That ride is going to be nice in Kentucky...how far is that for you J???? It is about 4 hours for us...

hell I dont know I just want some motivation and something to work for and my favorite group f people to do it with me I am looking at the scale from this time last month and I am exactly the same. I feel better, I feel energized(for the most part) but I need to get my Butt in gear. I keep putting bad things in my system that will sabatoge my new life. I may be going to Florida in August with my Husband for my work. This will be the first time away like that. I want to be at 200 at that point. Then it can be a little slower. I guess we make the rules...have any ideas???? OH btw...just love the pictures TX!!!!! They are awesome

turler...i suck at being on here lately work is busy.....and home is busy and for some reason i hate being online much anymore? not sure what is up. it comes and goes????

THANKS MY DAUGHTER LOVESSS THE BIKE!!! I still have my eyes set on a sweet little girl at the LBS....LOL D...what kind of road bikes did you get???? I did more landscaping then normal this year too>> It is amazing what 1 year can do to a person Anyone up for a Summer challenge? I want to loose 30 lbs by Aug.16th..... ??? Any takers

J What Is Going On In Kentucky???

thanks J...but we actually went and got this bike for Leslee by 17 year old so she could ride with us. I bought it with the intent of getting to use it when she does not ride it. We took her out this afternoon, and I think it is love at first site for her with the bike. She has clipless on it, but platforms on the other side until we get her some shoes. I think she will do well. J you have to remember, we have 5 people in the house, and John had an OLD bike last year. So we dont have allot of bikes, just enough now for all of us to use and ride. I still want the trek 2.1 that I rode......eventually I will get it..... I am excited for you and your PS. You have come so far So.....the goregous bike is now Leslee's

thanks I hope too I still like the new Trek 2.1 but.......I also like the Pilot as well.....I really dont want to fork out the kind of money to get it now, so this will do......defiantly looking forward to kicking my husbands BUTT...LOL

and the last one... sorry

ok, here a a different shot
