I am in !!!!!!! This will be awesome!!!! I am at 218 this morning. I want to be at 200 or below by Oct.6th! Welcome Gail!!!!!

doing well I weighed last nite, and looked at the fridge, grabbed a water and went to my room.... So far so good...making a big difference in how I feel too Thanks D!!! I am so excited. I want to loose the other 18lbs and I need to set a time frame for me. I am thinking Oct 6th when I go for my next trip..... We will make that the time. Than I am going to get under that 200 mark...I cant wait!!!!!!!! havent been there in 15 years.

not sure where everyone is...but have to share. I set a goal for me for my trip to florida! I wanted to be at a certain weight prior to going.....I made it!!! I am sooooooo excited!!! I love loosing and doing things good for me!!!!!!!!! This is so awesome!!!!!!!

OK, Sorry, but I came across this photo of me from Mothers Day 2007....WOW is all I want to say....I looked unhappy, misserable, and awful!!!!!! I just had to share

oh how I love to step on the scale in the evening and weigh less than I did in the morning.....i am smelling a weight loss here!!!!!!!!!! Cant wait till morning!!!!! Nite everyone

oh I am sure....the 2 trip down will be in jacksonville for 6 weeks total. So, that is the trip I want to take my bike for

we are all doing so good!!!! Each person that has started on this thread has a success story. Each person has accomplished something they hadnt done in the past. We are all doing well........and love it that we have new people joining the insanity all the time

you know D I heard about those long 9 mile hills. A friend from work went west with a group called decylces and she said some of the hills would be 10 miles long, and never ending........I cant even imagine

oh and thanks about the picture I just thought it was hilarious....but also it was a real reminder to me of just how far I have come. I dont ever want to battle that ever again. I am hoping that my progress will inspire my family members as well to not allow themselves to get as big as I was. So unhealthy, and a loss of 10 years of fun times... If I knew I would be doing all of this cycling....in my 30's instead of 40's....wowo!!!!!!!!!!

D!!!!!! WOW! I bet that was a blast on the water yesterday??? I bet you feel amazing. I have noticed a big difference in my lung capacity too. It was interesting to go tackle something that I have stayed away from for so long because of my weight. Last evening, the 3 of us went for our ride....our group was canceled, so we went close. Of course close means hills. Most of these hills are the ones that I have either walked, avoided, or attempted and just never got up. Since I have been riding with the group, we have been tackling some good hills, and I am learning how to approach them, and what to do while I am on them..... I am happy to say......we (all of us) completed the task of climbing these hills. Rebecca even did one of the hills 2 times because I thought I had a low tire and I got off to check it out and she came back and we went again...LOL I was very pleased!!!!! So, we are doing a group ride this evening and I am very stoked about this... D! I am just thrilled that you ran this morning.....I have this energy that I am not sure where it is coming from, but I sure do like it being there.......

i am a Goverment contractor, and I do circuit card repair and rework..soldering, etc. I was in Orlando last year as well, but in October. it was wonderful down there. I have not figured out the situation on my bike yet. I was going to rent a car here and drive down and take it, but....not sure....it is such a long time, that I felt it would be awesome to do....we will see. Any good places you can recommend??????

I am going to Orlando the first time. We are getting in on Saturday and leaving on the 23. We are planning on driving to Tampa or somewhere to go to the beach. we are staying at the Disney resort....I am going for work...but have allot of evening time free. I am also going back again in Oct for 6 weeks...ya...lots of time.....ya...long time away from home....
