HP, JJ, ZZ ~ Thanks so much for the welcome back! I love you girls so much! I'm glad to be here again! ZZ ~ What kind of help are you needing from your LBT buddies? Someone to feel your pain, or someone to get real with you. I can do either, just let me know where you are in your head, girlfriend. CharlieTuna ~ I don't know how long you've been here. I almost called you CT. Did Juli do here knicknaming duties with you yet? <wink> Losing the inches is fantastic! Just fantastic! Those bad old scales don't tell a good story at all...pounds are not the way to measure....it's just the way everyone is used to. Inches and body fat % is the way to measure. Clothing is the way to measure. Particularly if you work out. So tell me what you do for excercise and resistance training and tell me about your diet? Maybe I can help? I would be willing to bet that you and ZZ have the very same problem right now with weight gain: you are not eating enough or often enough. That scares your body into storing (depositing fat) every bit of energy (food) you put into it if it thinks there is a shortage of food available. HP ~ Inquiring minds want to know? What is the spinning program that you joined and downloaded? I need something to make the trainer more interesting. Is it expensive?

...pssst! ...how's it goin'? ...'member me?

He's still at the community rec center. He will have to find a new partner, too. He's a big boy...he'll be all right. :thumbup:

That would of made a cute pic! LOL I started at Lifetime Fitness today. Wow, it's really kind of intimidating...I'm so used to my community rec center. All that equipment and people handing you fluffy towels on the workout floor and in the bathrooms...it's a lot to take in. Plus, I'm used to Cybex equipment, and they have Nautilus there. End result is the same, but Nautilus breaks their equipment down and specifies more...will take getting used to. I have a fitness assessment tomorrow, and I'm excited/scared to learn what my body fat percentage is currently. So anyhow, I got in a good chest workout for about an hour and then rode the recumbent for 30 minutes on hill intervals. I'll be glad to get a comfort level there soon, I hope. It's different working out alone, too...but me and my IPOD get along great, and it doesn't argue with me! LOL

Thank you, ma'am! You are such a sweetheart! :tongue: I don't know about that conference, but it better get off the ground in a fashion that you all can come out here to B's and my neck of the woods! That is too funny, D! Especially the "hillbilly" crack! :tongue: Wow...I wish I'd of known. All my beds are full of large river rock and I want it OUT. :thumbup: What a pain in the ass, though...once it is in, I think you are pretty much stuck with it. :thumbs_up: If you have a secret to getting it all out, please let me know! :confused2: LOL

Hey, folks! I finally got some pics from the MS150 put into my bike photo album in my profile! That's not all of them...I need to download my other card yet, but here is a start.
