Hey, trying to catch up on a least some of the last few hundred pages. Watching it rain AGAIN. Only been able to get one day of walking in this week. I guess it is better than nothing. I'm on my third new set of fat clothes this month. It will be a relief when I get a handle on this thing. I hope everyone is well. Have to get back to work. JC

Go Wings! I bet there isn't much work going on up there today.

It's good to be back. Since it has been so long I will give the short version of my life lately. New GF and I are still going strong. I got a couple of A's in school and am working on retesting to bring some of my certifications up to date. I have been job searching lately also considering moving away from Florida not sure where yet but looking eats up a lot of time. I have been doing some walking and very little riding. That is going to change. I have right at 3CCs of fill and I am finally feeling some restriction again, Thank God! I just be getting close to sweet spot on next fill. D, great to see you posting again! You too B! J, it's good to see you are still hammering away. HP, you guys should let me know when you get to Florida, maybe we could do something. BG, digging that new avatar. ZZ, I have had a blast reading some of your posts today. TX, hope all is well. Have to end this (SHORT) post. Hi to everyone else I missed. Got a call Boss on his way to my office. JC

High all, I have been unbelievably busy at work. Not much happening as far as exercise, but I plan on fixing that after Wednesday (final day of the project I have been working on). I hope everyone is doing well. I am going to go back a few hundred pages LOL and try to catch up. JC

Way To Go Zz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unexpected money would be converted into some kind of cool ass heart rate monitor. Which reminds me, how about an update from you BodyBug users. Do you still use, like, or love it or have you found it to be too much trouble?

Happy Birthday J! looks like you and BG had a great time. You two crack me up! BG, Congrats on the windfall. Do you have any specific Bycyle goodies in mind? TX, I am afraid you are going to have to AMP up your temper tantrums quite a bit if you are going to even come close to the BG scale. lol By the way, the pics you posted on your profile page ROCK! Congrats, you should be proud of yourself! HP, glad to read you are getting some in rides and congrats on your losses! How does John like his new byke? ZZ, how are those stomach pains? Please don't play around with those. I had very similar problems, most food would go down ok some would not. It appeared to me that my band was just picky about what it would tolerate. All the while I had this underlying pain. Yes it would come and go. The problem was that I only had one stich left trying to hold my band in place. This allowed the thing to move in and out of place. It nearly killed me...... No, check that, I nearly ALLOWED it to kill me. Please consider consulting your Doctor. I am not saying you are having the same problem that I did, I just feel that it is important to keep things checked out. WYD, my spine froze just looking at that mountain byke pic with that strange bright white sand on the trail. lol Sweet bike though. Speaking of Bykes have you been able to ride the Ninja? B, hey, hope your well. Hi to D, and C and anyone else I may have forgotten. Haven't had a chance to catch up on the recent postings, just skimmed through. I will work on playing catch-up this week. As for me, I only got in a couple miles of walking yesterday. I am still taking it very easy and very slow, something foreign to me, but as I said before, I am committed to making this thing work. And a couple miles is a couple more than I would have done sitting on the couch. I have to go now and send my favorite Uncle a check. God I could have bought some cool toys with that money!

Hi everyone, I have been swamped with work and studying for finals. Headed to the track in a few minutes. Will try to get on here tonight for more of an update. JC

Nice bykes! What size is the Ninja?

Gotcha, I wasn't thinking.

What is R&R?

Ok, I am going to give this a try.... I dig self confidence over anything else. My preference is perky, somewhere in the C cup range. However, if a bigger rack = more self confidence for the person and that is what they want, then my vote would be to have surgery. My opinion on the sausage wallet (that is the funniest term I have heard yet!) BG, you nut, nut, God! I like less skin, probably because I have the slightest gap in my front teeth and......... Oh hell, I am going to stop right there! LOL I respect individuality so I would be supportive of the other person's desires for plastic surgery. When I get to my goal weight I will be looking into a few things for myself. Got a short ride in yesterday, feeling great about that. I talked my GF into giving the shot. Was not bad, I may try it myself next month. JC

I took a look, from the quick look I took this is what I would do, download the link manually into a folder then import to I-Tunes. I will be doing this tonight because that is a cool a$$ site.

Also I have not uploaded a podcast but will try tonight and report back if you are still having trouble.

Thanks for the info Stef. I am sure I will feel silly after I do this. BG, you are killin me! LOL

I gotta share this, when I was searching for a Newsfeed, I noticed that NBC's studio is on West BIG BEAVER Rd. :-)

BG, sounds like you found one, cool deal. ZZ, seems that would be a tricky spot on self. I will try it and see what happens. Thanks.

BG, are you trying for local feeds or national?

Thanks for the info ZZ. I think the needle is 3/8" long?? Don't quite remember but it looks very short. I was told arm or thigh would work out. They did not mention rotation. So I need to try to hit muscle? Seems like a short needle for that, but I am an overkill type person. JC

Thanks J, They told me I should notice an energy difference in a couple months. I will try to find a pair that match my bike, then search for comfort. JC

HP, way to go!!! Keep up the great work! John's new bike is very cool!! Happy belated Easter everyone. I got that fill just in time to avoid the food frenzy madness, and even got in a short couple mile ride this weekend. Have any of you been given a B-12 prescription? The Dr. I am now working with wants me to do a monthly shot. I guess it is time to get over my needle phobia. They gave me a quick course in how to self-administer but I still have concerns and would appreciate any input from any of you who are doing this. IE how fast, slow, deep or what to watch out for. What I am saying is, I would feel more at ease if I got feedback from someone who has been there and done that, so to speak. I am a little freaked out but committed to making this work. J, I looked all over the net and I am leaning toward the Nikes for Bycyling shoes. I will go to one of the larger LBS, in Tampa/St Pete and try on as many as possible. My Lake, Sandals feel ok but not exactly great on longer rides. I did not use my head when I bought those. I wanted clipless pedals for my trike and let the LBS guy talk me into them without any research. Live and learn right? Hope Everyone is well, JC

Way to Go Who's you must be riding a high with those numbers. Now, in order to set the record straight I am going to correct my weight loss ticker. Take a look and you will see why I have not been so keen on contributing lately. JC

Hey J, how does it feel to be in ONEDERVILLE? Big time congrats on your success! BG, I thought you would rather enjoy 8 inches! LOL Sorry I could not help. myself I hope all of you in the Northern states get a break from the harsh weather. I can only try to imagine how frustrating it must be for all of you. TX, thanks for the well wishes. So, Doc hooked me up with 1.8 ccs. We are going to take it slow once again. Although I have a 10cc VG band I am feeling the assistance once again! Now for the new toy alert......... I snagged a nice set of Speedplays off Ebay. Now I need some shoes my lakes are not designed for this style peddle. Any suggestions???? JC

Just a quick note, I'm sitting in Dr office waiting room. Shouuld get a much needed fill today. God knows I need it! Then maybe a haircut. I have a short "byke" ride scheduled with GF tomorrow as long as Dr OKs it. Not used to seeking and or following Dr's orders but I am committed to make this band work LongTerm, for me. Hope everyone is well. Will post new toy alert/ pics when I get home. (Pedals)!! JgonnastartshrinkingagainC

Haven't been doing much. I should be clear to go after Dr. appointment Friday. After that it is on! JC
