This is getting expensive

First I emptied my closet 2 days ago, literally empty. So today I decide to go rent a bike and take a bike ride to see how that feels since it has been over 20 years since I had been on one. I LOVED IT!!!!!!! I went 7 miles! Trouble is when I got back to the bike place I rewarded myself with a 400.00 bike! I said what the H E double tooth picks,, this is my reward for 96 pounds gone!

Good for you, you did something great for yourself. I was thinking about buying a bike but in another 40 pounds. For now, I just bought a new shirt in Kohl's (on sale) without having to stretch it out with my hands so the biggest size they had would fit. We all should reward ourselves.

What better way to reward yourself then with something that will only aid in losing more and keeping off the weight you already lost?!? I think it's a great idea, gonna have to convince the husband of that too once I reach 100 lbs lost wink.gif

I was just thinking the same thing. I already have a purse and shoe addiction so add that to shopping for other things and I'm gonna blow thru my savings in a year! But you getting the bike could be seen as exercise equipment so don't even worry bout it. ;)

Great idea! I, too, have thought of that reward in time. I just had my surgery Friday so I'm not quite in the market. I live near our bike trails and used to love to ride, although HILLS are the name of the game here! Might I ask you what kind of bike you got? Details! And congratulations!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
