good nite b.... it was great talking to all of you tonight C....I remember when I got my surgery date...I was so excited....I also remember I had to go straight to my liquid diet, and I though OH no, no last meal..But you know..there is no sense in it, because I still can eat what I had before, I just cant have 2 big steaks anymore....DId I really need that??NO of course not..... So, enjoy the next few months, and before you know it it will be here. Now where are you from C?? I am sure you have said, but I am not going back through all the pages if I dont have to..LOL Well, I better get going, Take care Traci

b yea, French Lick...LOl has it's perks with the name...haha Actually it is very pretty country up around here. Lots of hills and valleys. We ride allot over at a place called Patoka Lake, and it has some big hills. Yes, I felt confident enough to actually change the ticker.....end of December and January I kept going in between what my ticker was at 251, and 257......I finally lost the 6lbs I had gained and than finally got below 250....Of course this is where I wanted to be at the end of December, but hey...I wont argue. B....Hang in there.....it will kick your butt soon enough and you will be back on track. The band is something that we have to learn to live with. It is something new, and we can't be excpected to never make mistakes or fight with it.....you know???? So hang in there.... I am not sure I have introduced myself to C...but welcome....

B, yes I live in the southern part of Indiana. I am about 2.5 hours away from Indy. There is a new casino opened in French Lick, In. (Larry Bird is from there) and I am about 10 min from there in the country. J and BG, I am jealous!!!! Have a great day!!!!!

B I am just 6 hours from Chicago, and was there 2 years ago for work. Hope all is well...and D.....your picture.....wow!!!!! Look at you

HELLO ALL... Stayed home sick today with what I thought was just going to be a cold, ended up in the doctor with a freakin UTI infection. It is killing me......But, have lost since last Monday's doctors appointment...so I was glad about that. Amazing, really just wanted to get lower before biking season, but, guess I will be ok with how I am. School, is ok.......I hate my one class.....not sure about it....allot more than I excpected......but o well. How is everyone doing with the lack of exercise??? I know I need to kick some butt and get moving....... Everyone take care....Miss all of you...

B....hate Math...but Other Than That...ok Pretty Bad When Your Kids Have To Teach You The Stupid Crap... I Am Missing Riding So Bad.....need Some Me Time Talk Soon Everyone

JC glad you are back at home and feeling better...... Take it easy and dont over do it....... Traci

welcome buffettphan Where are you from and where did you have your surgery??? Did you take a picture of your new bike...we love pictures on here. Hope everyone else is all doing well!!!! I am doing homework, not loosing weight, but also not gaining it either.....ready for some warmer weather

I want a shirt.....where do you order them??????

Ok, I am starting out going towards my businesss degree, but I have to start at the very very beginning, becuase I didnt test out so well..so the basics it is. I am hoping to transfer into the electronics degree program, but I have to get through all the basic crap first. Electonics is what my current job is now, so....I would like to go that route. I actually am just playing it by ear as I go along. I am taking 10 credits this semester......I AM DYING! And it is only the 3 day. Plus I have tons and tons of work at work to do, so stress level on both ends is killing me. No weight loss for 2 weeks, eating and drinking bad calories. No exercise, and bills are a pain when your behind...again...overdrawn checking accounts.....not good! Anyway...there it is guys.... will be back on this evening...see ya

BG...so, what kind of road bike are you gonna get????? I am sorry I am not on as much....work, and now school....who ever imagined at 40 I would be going to SCHOOL????? And I did this on my own?????? Anyway, hope everyone is well

Hello everyone. Well, it has been a stessful week, not even really sure why...bad food choices, lack of exercise, yucky weather.....so, saturday and sunday was for me, to do catch up at the house. Hope everyone is well...

Hoollly Shit! Wow Juli.....you Look Amazing As Hell...... Wow.....can You Ever Believe That We Were That Size?? Keep Up The Good Work...you Look Younger Now, Than You Did A Year Ago......

J, hey thanks....I guess I got to 40 before you didnt I??? HAHAH I have taken a liking to wine myself, and we have some making here at the house....can't wait for it to age.......takes to long, which is why I buy the stuff...LOL Glad you had a good time....

Well, I got my wish and was able to get out and ride tday! It was 62, winds were 25 miles and hour steady...and gusting to 35....needless to say it was a hell of a work out. Average speed was not near as good as usual, but it felt good to be back on it. I had long underwear on under bike shorts, long underwear shirt under a hoodie, a hat and than my hat on the hoodie. WE went to the bottom of the spill way wear there is a track, and we (my daughter and I ) alternated walking and jogging...first time ever I have jogged since grade school and high school. It was a half mile track, so we did the jog/walk 1 time, and rode one time. It was great to be back out....and I seriously cant wait until I get my new bike....wooohooooo Anyway, just wanted to share... One thing.....being off the bike since late October......it sucks starting all over....

whosyadaddy!!!!!! congrats on the 100 pound loss....amazing.......keep up the good work.....

and BTW JC>>>>>>your an ASS......73 freakin degrees......!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks jc........i am so excited...cant find a weight tracker that I can use for everyone...I cant seem to figure out excel and the formulas....UGHHHHHH Any ideas??? I am wanting to put in everyones starting weight and than weekly weight that will keep a running total at the bottom of the column.... I looked online, and I must be slooooooooooooooow

OH I CANT BELIEVE YOU GUYS IN TEXAS...... OOOOOOOOOOOOOO....I AM HOPING IT WONT RAIN TOMMOROW... SO....i can ride!!!!!!!!! MY HOUSEHOLD IS GOING ON A CHALLENGE We were talking on our drive today, it is our anniv. tommorow and we went and did our eating out etc.... we were talking about how much my DH weighed and we came up with a cool challenge He weighs 220....so, we are going to get him to loose 20 lbs....and whoever looses first is getting a prize..not sure what yet, but I am so excited... See my husband still wont give up soft drinks and does not plan too. He says I have an unfair advantage over him because of the band, so we are considering making it 20 for me and 10 for him...??? Not sure yet on that... I am also doing a challenge with the kids. It will be more of an independant goal for each of them, since they are all different and all....but i think it will be awesome... i cant even imagine getting another 20 off...wow.... Anyway..just wanted to share and lctexas i started out with a Trek Hybrid bike....it was an excellent start and I was able to ride up to 45 miles by the end of the season. (started at 3-5 miles a time in May) I struggled with seats too......they still hurt my butt......but....I have a gel seat now, and wear padded bike shorts...I dont like to ride without them at all..... Your lbs would be the best place to go just like b said.....they are usually always helpful..... Good luck...and Have un......
