Has anyone taken up Bycyling?



Recommended Posts

I looked into getting one of those types of bikes. The landrider. We researched it and chose to start with a hybrid bike and take the hills slow, and build our strength. I still have issues with hills, but am getting so much stronger the longer I do them. It isnt always about how fast you get there, just that you get there.

I walked a whole bunch of hills when I first started, now I can get up the ones I struggled with 2 and 3 months ago.

I am planning on upgrading to a road bike too...just not right now.

Good luck with your shopping....what kind were you looking for if you dont mind my asking???

Got my fill today...he added another 1cc....we will see.He was pleased with my loss, and my riding, so as long as I am loosing I a happy..

D....I bet you were in heaven on the bike..that is just wonderful...

Well...I am late getting home, so I am going to get ready for bed.

See ya all later

You guys just don't know how tempted I am to drive back up to Indiana and re-ride that course on the new bike.

D, I will give you one guess as to who was the first to spot the bra and panties!!!!

Kickboxing is super fun and an amazing sweaty workout. The morning after kickboxing....not so much fun and not so fascinating sore muscles.

Someone please, please put me out of my misery.

BG, I think you and kickboxing were made for each other! Pickle Juice or time will ease the pain. Way To Go on the ticker move you are (kicking) ASS!

HP, the new bike is amazing. It has a lot of carbon Fiber so its light, but it also has vibration dampers throughout. The handle bars are what will help me ease into road bycyling. They are at a neutral position right now, like a mountain bike. When I get used to this adjustment from recumbent, we will adjust the bars down into a more aggressive posture. Once I get used to that we will put road bike handle bars on it and it will be a traditional road bike.

The pedal are the toe clip deals I don't like the straps and will eventually take them off and put a set of the click style pedals on. I am going to have to wait for a couple paychecks to come, I just bought a Honda EX Four Wheeler.

Hi all

CONGRATUALATIONS on the 2 pound BG. I'm envious of the workout. You can keep you sore muscles though. Wench outfit? It's a little early for Halloween...are you into role playing or something?

JC

Damn man, you buy lots of toys! Holy Crap. But you have fun with them too, and that's what it's about.

HP

Glad to see the fill and the doc visit went well.

Hey B, Hey D!

HP, I make a fair amount of money, but I save in a lot of ways too. Both of my vehicles are older but they are paid for and I could live in a bigger house but the one I am in will be paid for soon as well. I am concerned however that I have traded eating for spending and I do need to get a grip on that, but this new 4-wheeler is soooo cool. LOL

BG, I know where you are coming from on the Pickle Juice thing, but it does give relief. I think you are just into the pain thing. Remember, happiness is someone leaving a Mag Light in your chair! LOL

I also think a wench is a good choice, or.... a Detroit Linebacker.

On second thought maybe I should have said tight end! I don't want you kicking my ass for suggesting the wrong position.

I just got here.

I've actually been doing a little work at work, in the kitchen.

Do you all realize I work in a mother effin kitchen?! I know you do because I talk about it all the time, But for f's sake...It's a perpetual struggle.

Really, it could be worse, there are many times I don't care, but today the smell of bacon is in the air...

Complaining is over.

You know if you give up carbs you can eat bacon....

Hell no I do not do that role playing shit. The wench outfit is for a wedding. Dan's weird friends have decided it is a renassaince theme so the guest have to come in costume. I am waaaay too cool for that but hopefully I won't see anyone I know lol jk. At least the corset will make me look thinner with huge boobs. I need some boobs. Or a mag light in my chair...

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
