It is hard HP. Super hard. But I figure I just want to get under 200 and then I will take it a bit slower. I am really craving some fish and chips from this amazing place about 30 mintues from my house. I know I should not reward myself with food but I want some so I need to get to 195 before I will eat it.

What kind of bike did you get slack? HP you can get it done. Don't beat yourself up just do it girl!

Did I mention that I accomplished this feat on a fricken mountain bike? If anyone wants to donate to the Stacy needs a road bike fund please feel free. J I gained two pounds on vacation too. But since Monday when I weighed I am down 5 pounds. I have been following this program. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f81/you-want-maximum-results-look-here-23291/ It is rough but I am seeing results.

Well you already are greater to me than Lance. Honestly I cannot stand him, never could. DH likes to tease me and call me Lance Junior. That warrants a punch in the rocks.

I definitely think that sometime....maybe next summer we should all try to get together somewhere and have a bike vacation. I can think of an awesome state park in west Michigan with an amazing bike trail....I know it is pretty far from Idaho and Florida but hey a girl can dream. D if you did 50 miles every night you would become a greater biking god than Lance.

JC maybe you were so upset that you thought he was restraining himself from telling you something. You can make it through this even if the doctor can't save your band. You have come this far already on your own. I was talking to my nurse coordinator the other day about how hard we have to work even with having surgery. All our band does is control our food portions to an extent. WE do ALL the work along with it. You have done the work and made it this far. You have exercised your butt off (literally). You have made better food choices. And you can continue to do this even if it does not involve a Lapband. You will be in my and everyones thoughts around here. You are an ultimate bad ass and you can make it through anything. So onto my workout for the day. I have officially kicked my old record of 20 miles ass. 33 MILES BABY!!!!!!!!!!!! Took me about 3.5 hours. I am beat. And every one of you helped me through it. When I got pooped and thought I couldn't make it I just kept thinking of what you guys would do in the situation. Instead of WWJD it was WWJDJcHpD. lol Anyhow I ma pretty darn proud of myself and pretty darn jealous of all the people I saw with camelbacks.

Aww J look how cute you look!

Okay I am getting a little bit concerned about JC. Great Job Ragdoll! J good to know you made it home safe. HP I hate the nasty heat too. And the stress of not losing. I try so hard to not make it a big deal but it always is. Then I feel like I have to overcompensate and drive myself mad with working out. Yeah squats and lunges are the effing devil. Oh and thanks D. I don't wanna leave a message for everyone else and forget abot you!

So your friend was the lady this happened to? I had that email sent to me like a year ago

Oh wow Zannie I am so sorry you are going through all this. There is no justification for infidelity. You are a wonderful, loving, caring beautiful woman. If something as insignificant as physical attraction is cause for him to stray .....ugh. Physical attraction is something that maybe I could see beginning a realtionship on, but in one that you have been married for several years should not play a significant role. Physical beauty fades, but what is inside should be what counts. When you get older and look less attractive will he be looking for some younger newer model? That is not the kind of person you deserve to be with. I hope the counseling works for you and you get something out of it. Whether it be that you manage to salvage your relationship or you realize that maybe you will be better off without him. You know I am here if you need me.

That's awesome Zannie!!!!!

I am with D. I would go with the bike. But again like D, I am a bit biased.

Good luck JC!

How is everyone doing? Hopefully well. I am officially halfway to goal!!!!!!!

TICKER CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am officially over halfway to goal!!!!!!!!!!

D I don't even know what I am going to look like when I am 150. If I can even get there. I have been big my whole life. My lowest adult weight was 189 and that was after I lost weight the summer before college. I was 150 in like 7th grade and probably 225 when I graduated high school. I am just nervous and scared that I no matter how much work I do that I will never be smaller. I mean I guess somewhere in me I know I can lose the weight but it is just incredibly hard to believe that it could happen. JC I will be thinking of you today, I pray everything goes well.

Um yeah, Cowboys. One of the only 3 games we WON last year. And probably the only game I have ever wanted to lose. It is pretty bad when you go into a game with only 2 wins and all you need to do is to lose a game to get first pick in the draft. Only the Lions could win that game. I still love em. 2008 Superbowl Champs....lol A girl has got to have faith.

Awesome D. I am hoping to do the same with my next weigh in but I don't know. I could not get out for a ride today due to weather. By the time it cleared up I had no child care. So I did 35 minutes of cardio on the treadmill and 30 more minutes of weights. I have not lifted in a long long time and I think it was almost cardio as fast as my heart was beating!

J it is so hard to eat well while on vacation. Luckily I did not gain but I am bummed that I did not lose. I am glad you are having fun! I am just so darn tired from being up for work at 3:45 in the morning. I don't think this shift will suck so bad in the winter time but it is really hard for me to get to bed early enough to not be a bitch all day. I am one of those people who need 8 hours of sleep. I can get by on 6 or 7 but not more than 3 days in a row. I have not been able to fall alseep so i have been only getting 4-5 hours all this week. My head hurts from carb reduction. I should have never went off my eating plan while on vacation. I have only lost 10 pounds since my last dr visit on June 11 and it should be at least 15. I have to go in on Monday and I need to get some weight off this week. And I have been doing two a days for my cardio at 1 hr per workout. I really just need sleep.

I am in. I am so excited for the season to start. My Lions are going all the way this year.... Don't laugh, I can hear you laughing.

JC I think you gave me your insomnia..... I feel like such a poop sandwich right now.

You don't have to use the biking shoes but you will probably need new pedals if you are going to go that route. Once you get the hang of it it will be no biggie to get your foot out of the pedal. HP it is nasty hot here too but I promised myself I would get some riding in. I am on two a day cardio right now so I wanted to get the biking in. I obviously kicked my own ass yesterday because todays ride was not easy. Plus it was 90 and muggy heat index of 85...blah. I want autumn to come and quick!

JC You are going to be fine. D isn't it great to lose enough to make your bathing suit big? I did my 15 mile ride yesterday in 1 hour and 10 minutes. My fastest time ever.

Absolutely.
