Awe, bless your heart!!!! It always hurts to gain back some of the weight we have lost, but KNOW THAT IT STOPS HERE!!! This is not like the rest of the diets you have been on. You will be back on track now, and the gain stops here. It is not the end of your weight loss, and it would be, if this were just another diet, but thank goodness, its not. SO, now, you can take a deep breath, pat yourself on the back, and say "good job" its only nine pounds and not the 50 or so that is would end up being in the old days!!!

Well, you used to have to weigh everything on the more popular diets, but don't have to nowadays. There is probably something to that!!!

Sorry no one responded. Maybe they were all asleep as they were reading!!! I am also glad it was ok. Good luck to you!!

I agree with the others, BUT, know that it IS possible to get stuck from a pill getting stuck. Or another thing I have done, is eat and then an hour later take my pills, well, sometimes all the food is not out of the pouch and I get stuck from that too. Just be careful when taking pills.

How cold was it? I thought it was pretty hot around there this time of year.... HP, where are you??????????????????????????????

TG, you are about the same stats as mine. I started at 305... I looked up the saddle at www.spiderflex.com and it looks comfy but I don't know anything about it. I have never heard of it. Maybe someone on here has, but I don't think any has one either.... We usually like talk about anyting new or unusual that we get or have....good luck with it. I talked to the LBS today about my saddle too. I got a new one a bit back and it is bothering me again. He said to try to adjust the tilt. I have had it dead level, so I put it a little tipped down in the front to see if that helps. I bought a messenger bag today to carry books and things for school this semester. I am committed now, it cost $80.00!!!!! But it is a good one and it is going to work out just great I think.

That looks like so much fun.....

Crap, they have a MB in Boulder, CO...............holy crap.......

I think I would!!!! I will be working next year, so I don't see why I couldn't come!!!! We could plan our family vacation around it. We don't mind camping either!! I guess it all depends on if I could get time off to do it or not...but I definitely would love to do it!!!!!!!! That would be even better if the four of us did it!!!

Is there a website to look at about it? I really really want to plan to come!!

I am going to try to come to do that with you...that would be soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am getting to my goal tonight...just sayin'

This was a little over 18 inches....

HP, we really should plan on doing this next year with BG and J....we can compete against them..... Was it a lot of running???

ahhhaaahahaha, those pictures were great.... Two questions....one, why did you sleep in the car, was it raining?? two, did they have showers there to get clean or did you have to go home like that? Okay three questions, and what does the shirt say??? I can't read it. Does it say Team Bycylers????

was the mud the finish part?????

Those pictures are soooooo cool....that is awesome!!!!!! I wanna do it!!!!! Wow, there are nine people on this thread right now!!!

Pictures, I say, PICTURES!!!!

This is something that you will have to discuss with your doctor.

Who's bright red vehicle is that in the background of your avatar HP???

You are soooooooooooooo close to goal!!!!! You are doing so awesome!!!!! I hate not losing. I hate losing and then gaining the same pounds over and over and over again even more.

It really upsets me when people say it is a cop out. A cop out of what??????? Agony? Dieting the "old fashion" way is pure agony. Its as if people don't think you deserve to lose weight unless you torture and deprive yourself food. Why? Why does it have to be that way? Why don't we deserve to lose weight just like everyone else??? After years and years of diet after diet and failure after failure, you would think people would be excited for us that have found this new tool. It just totally amazes me that people are so insensitive and judgmental that they can't see the agony that the weight puts us through. Good luck and know that although God could take the weight off right now, WE are the ones who put it on.....shoving food into our mouths....we should be the ones to take it off.....

HP, what classes are you taking? Are you getting a degree?

I think BG may have done J in for a week or so. She will be back when she gets all the mud off!!

HP, sorry you didn't get the Strassenfest ride in....I know you were looking forward to it. The heat is a killer especially when you are climbing hills!!! You did great!!!! I didn't get any riding in, well, around the res. on my mountain bike, but I don't really call what I was doing riding!!! I cant wait to see some Muddy Buddy pictures!!!!!
