You are probably putting too much pressure on them. If you can pull back in your seat and carry more weight in your bottom you'll do better.

They may be at a bad angle too.

Also if you don't have cycling gloves, get some they help.

And lastly, reposition your hands and shake them out as your ride every once in a while.

It's "normal" a little, but not a lot.

Others will give you suggestions too.

thanks Juli....:wink:

I would love to take a spinning class...although the closest one is over 45 min away. with Rebeccas basketball and work, going somewhere that is that far is not going to happen.

I hope everyone is having a great week....

Heck, before we know it it will be spring again...

OMG! She really DOES exist!!

And I know I haven't posted much at all lately..

Been feeling REALLY down in the fat dumps cause I've gained so much weight. I think I'm just too tight. I can't eat much regular food at all (few bites) but sugar goes down fine and dandy... so that's what I live on. I'm going today at 5pm to get an unfill... I"m thinking 1cc. Hoping that will put me back to being able to comfortably be able to eat a small meal. ... that is, if I can get out in this snow today. I hate snow...

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?

TX,

I've been lax on assigning intials. We've slowed way down on posting and it just didn't seem necessary.

I was wondering about your strength traing program. Didn't you have some books you liked?

I've been trying to work on mine but I get side tracked with school so it never seems to increase. I workout, want to die then get distracted and it's a week again (or more) before I hit the same muscles. I'm also doing more spinning than I used to, really trying to get there once a week.

It's so good to see you.

I downloaded the

The Cyclo-CLUB Membership for the Passion of the Everyday Cyclist

i joined for 10 a month and it has downloads that you can get along with nutrition and other excellent information.

I was really excited as they offered a free day on Sunday and i really liked it.

My thoughts are to get myself on the bike and ride...and I need to make sure I keep it fun or I wont do it....I get bored very very easy

Now just to do it

LOL

It is also pretty funny the advice you were giving our newbie...My doctor JUST had emailed me the same exact thing...she thinks I am not eating enough calories and that is causing me not to be loosing any faster....hmmm.

Never knew I would have trouble getting enough calories in, but I guess maybe I am??

I am glad to see you back on here and offering the support/....we sure have missed it....and hope you stick around ....:sneaky:we always are in need of guidance.....

u

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
