  1. Alex Brecher started following babygrl1234
  2. Got the bike out today and took advantage of the warm weather!!!! Love my bike.
  3. Thanks B! You will get your confidence back. J did not want to ride for a long time after she kept getting stuck in her pedals. I know it is not as severe as having an asthma attack, but it gave her a lot of grief for awhile. You will get it back buddy. Keep the inhaler close at hand and rock it.
  4. Congrats and welcome Lauryn.
  5. I was pretty disturbed by the scale for a better part of 2 years. I got to my lowest adult weight of 187 in early 2008 and then I just gave up. Or maybe it is better to say I got comfortable. But it wasn't very comforting when I found myself back at 225 at the end of 2009. I spent the better part of 2 years yo-yoing back and forth and continually discouraging myself. I have gone into this year with a better attitude. Instead of focusing all of my energies on the scale and weight loss I am focusing on two things. The first is not eating sugar. For the simple reason that it is like crack to me. I don't want to go through life with an addiction and that is how I feel with sugar. The second is training for a triathlon. I have always talked about doing it but never actually trained and done it. It's been a little over a month since I have implemented those two things and I am feeling mighty good about the 205 I saw on the scale this morning. I never even broke 210 in all of 2009. We can all get back on the wagon and do it.
  6. Going on a "chili" ride Sunday. Not thrilled about the cold but excited for the chili at the end :sad: Plus it is a free ride which is my favorite kind of ride.
  7. Okay, okay. I am back in as well.
  8. BG strolls in.... ...and strolls right back out.
  9. So far behind here that I can't even focus long enough to read all the posts I missed. But I will say that we do have the Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka here in the ghetto and it makes for a mighty fine alcoholic Arnold Palmer.
  10. :thumbup: And second, and third......
  11. I would venture to say that you were just as protected as you were pre-op. But when in doubt there is always :thumbup: or :thumbup:
  12. Personally I would like to thank the police officer who wrote me a ticket last week.... She listed my weight on the ticket well over 50 pounds less than I actually weigh. I don't mind paying it so much any more.
  13. What I find more interesting is the fact that she has a real life, close to home, personal story about every single one of these controversial issues in R&R. Smells a wee bit :tongue_smilie: to me. Which is why I totally *heart* the block feature.
