D, I have a trek hybrid with 700x35c tires...by Bantrage. My handelbars are not like mountain bike though??? I need to get a picture of it and let you look????? What kind of seat are are you getting???

lol nite everyone

you guys are a hoot!!!!! Yea, and than I will literally fall off the bike...just what I need. D are you going with the smaller tires? I never thought about that....that is a interesting idea....about the seat...so if you are going smaller and we still have allot of cushion on our butts, how is that going to help our ride be more comfy? My tail bone still hurts today from riding this weekend.....it just stinks. Everytime we would take a break and get off the bikes, getting back on would KILL my butt....?????

JC...that is what I thought too...LOL J...now come on...too late to turn back now...LOL The weather for this week is going to be super hot...upper 90's high humidity...and chance of rain on Sunday for the ride....OF COURSE....

Where is D at today???

me too, but they were to early...so nothing suprised me Thanks!! I am way excited...

Well, I was so excited....I got on the scale and I am now dropped down into the 70's now.....Ok only by 1 lb, but YES!!!!! I had bought a pair of size 22 capris about 3 weeks ago, and they fit, but didnt snap..... TODAY, I AM WEARING THEM TO WORK, AND THEY HAVE EXTRA ROOM!!!!!!! GO ME, GO ME!!!!! On a slightly sad note, my Pom lost another pup last evening. She has 2 that are doing well, but this week will tell with them both. Just wanted to share my excitement Traci

Dibaby Wow, you are very close to your goal...way to go.....

D Isnt It Just A Blast To Take Others Around With Us??? No It Isnt.... I Am Glad You Are Back We Have Missed You On Here

So Have You Set Your Goals For August? I Am Planning On A Weight Loss One And Exercise One, Becuase They Go Hand In Hand

totally understand about control over our lives. You know, when I can fit into a seat, and ride in the car without being jammed with the seat belt that will be great!!! I feel so much better and think I am looking better..allot of people say I look younger. I know where Clinton is. I have a friend that doesnt live too far from you. How long does it take you to get to Fisher's???

Went and looked at your bike you just go...wow that is pretty cool. I bet it is real comfy...we rode another 11.4 miles today, my butt is payin the price

debbie, welcome aboard. We are all enjoying our bikes and we all have different kinds of bikes that we ride, from hybrids, to road to the kind JC has. Please feel free to jump in anytime ... Best of luck....and WAY TO GO ON YOUR WEIGHT LOSS.

please dont tell me you are going to be away from your computer on vacation!!!! D is going to have a B fit!!!!!!!!!!! I will look into the toe clips.....?? My pom ended up with 3 pups that lived through the night...we will see how they do....if they make it past a week, we are good...... Yes we are past our goals, and I am setting mine for August higher than July's.... I defiantly need to do some gym activity too....but, dont have the money right now, and am really pushed for time as it it....maybe soon. JC what have you been doing this weekend other than razzin J?????

Nannyof3...WELCOME! I also go to Dr. McEwen, and he is wonderful. His staff is great, and I even get encouraging emails from Cheryl his nurse. I had my surgery 30 of May. I have lost 41 lbs since surgery and 55 lbs since I started the journey. I am doing things now, I never dreamed I would do again. I rode 19.78 miles yesterday preparing for a bike ride at the Strassenfest in Jasper next Sunday. I was dead tired let me tell you, but I did it. Feel free to email me anytime direct or on the site.....You wont be sorry about your choice of doctors....Remeber to walk, walk, and walk some more right after surgery....it is very important to keep from having pain in your shoulders, etc. I have not been sick, or in allot of pain at all..... Where are you from??? I live in a small town of SHoals(actually live closer to French Lick). Traci

i WAS BANDED ON May 30, and I didnt start exercising until I was back at work, and I started with walking. I than got back on my bike, and bought a new one...and havent looked back since. I set a goal for July for 100 miles and I am almost 40 miles over that goal. Just make sure you are getting good nutrition and lots of Water... I lost 13 lbs the 2 month, and am really feeling good. Best of luck

Juli HEY YOU ARE PAST YOUR EXERCISE GOAL FOR THIS MONTH....WOHOOOOO!!!!!!

Hey Julie love the picture........and you are leading the pack...way to go.... About the toe clips.....can you use them on a hybrid bike???? I do have a computer on my bike...we bought it when we bought my first bike and moved it to the new one. I was doing real well at first and my average was up more than what it was when I ended, but the President of the bike club in the town, agreed there are allot of rolling hills and some rather large ones....which I believe is a huge understatement... I havent done anything all night...I have been pooped. Anyway, Hope you have fun at the pool... OH and BTW....my pomeranian had babies tonight...3 weeks early. She lost 2, and the other 2 are extremly small.

hello I had joined te July challenge and today I am almost 40 miles over my goal of 100 miles. I rode 19.78 today and am real happy to be back home....MY BUTT HURTS Anyway thanks... I will be going for the August challenge too

Hey Julie....Great job today on your ride.......I am very jealous.... JC glad you are feeling better....and made an appointment.... I rode 19.78 miles today!!!!! We went to the route that the ride is on next Sunday, and it was a lot of hills to get started out, up and down.....I walked 2 of them(and ONE WAS A SMALL ONE!!!!) Than, I guess i shifted in the wrong gear under stress and my chain fell off.....I got it back on, but than my feet which was wet from the grass, slid off my peddles as I was going down a BIG hill. My husband was No Where in sight, and by the time I had made it to the bottom of the hill and saw him, I was almost having a panic attack. Never had one before, but I could not quit crying an was having a hard time catching my breath...It was awful. I know it was just the fact that I 1. Scared about being stranded and him not around 2. Had ridden already farther than before, and had made it 3. And I dont knowwhat else.... We got to the half way mark at a school and busy intersection, and rested. But....we made it all the way back where we had started, and I am not dead. We were on the bike for 2hrs 6 min. We were gone for 3 hours though...factoring in the stops, and me being a baby... I was averaging 12 miles an hour , but than it dropped to 10.3 I have NEVER RIDDEN THIS FAR IN ONE RIDE......... MY BUTT IS KILLIN ME EVEN WITH A GELL SEAT...WHAT THE HECK.... OH WELL, THANKS FOR LISTENING TO ME RAMBLE

Your weight is also lower than allot of our starting weights. I think you loosing 14 lbs in 2 months is awesome. Take every pound you loose as a victory, and keep reaching for your ultimate goal. Are you exercising? That has been my key this past month. Start a challenge for August.....if you are only working out 30 min a day, double that, etc.... Good luck, and dont get down on yourself.....it doesnt come off any quicker when you are depressed!!!!!

I would like to also get at least another 10 lbs off by the end of August, but there are 5 weeks that month, so maybe more. My goal is to get to 270, and get in 130 miles. Biking and or walking.

I dont regret mine at all. I had my surgery May 30 of this year and it was the best thing I have ever done for ME. I started at 335, and my first doct visit was 322...and yesterday went for my 8 week check up and was down another 13 lbs (in 4 weeks) I have not had any PB or sliming that people talk about.... I have taken up cyclying and loving it...... Good luck with your choice...

We went and looked at the route tonight...yea...may be in over my head a little.....we will see how tommorow and sunday go... Well, hope everyone is having a good evening

JC...I say it just plain ole sucks ass!!!!!! You can still get to that goal.....DONT GIVE UP ON YOURSELF.... Maybe it will just need time to heal, and you will be ok.... I am so sorry you are dealing with this......GROUP HUG:girl_hug::nervous
