Get the clipless and the aero bars! :thumbup: Oh, and you WILL fall, usually when you stop or get sluggish on a hill. It's more embarassing than painful.

Not totally true. I have not yet fallen. I came close when I first got the clipless and forgot about them but I have yet to take a spill due to the pedals.

Now on the mountain bike when a bee flies in my face....totally different story.

Talking about stuff flying in your face, I just shared the "snot rocket" story yesterday.

Anytime. I have plenty of snot to share. You ride in front next time.

Oh wait, this old woman, who is 50 years older than you, rides faster.

Ha.

ok this is freaking me out. My resting HR used to be 75-85.

Now its 45-55 !!! what the HECK!

That is perfectly NORMAL. You are now an athlete. Most athletes have RHR much lower than non-athletes. And heavy people generally have a higher RHR because our hearts have to work harder to pump through all of the fat tissue that surrounds the lining of the heart. Fun huh?

So CONGRATS. It's official that you ROCK!

Awesome! I want to get mine down from low 60s to low 50s. It was trending that way but then my blood pressure got lower and now it's back up to lower 60s. Weird.

I got a road bike for my birthday, but I have yet to ride it! It has been windy and cold for the past week. I haven't ridden a bike in years, so I am kind of a weenie when it comes to the weather, want to make sure it is a good experience!

I think my DH over did it on the bike, it is way faster than me - I am thinking that I am going to have to "grow into it". LOL!

krtork,

What kind of bike is it???

You'll grow into your bike, you'll see. Probably more quickly than you expect too.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

BTW, I got out for 22 miles today. It was a little chilly, but sunny. I've ridden in colder, for sure.

      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!!

      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?
