Hello there Band fans....I got banded March 28th-2007.

I told myself....Bycyling would be a very good choice. Fresh air, muscles working for the sake of "Cardio". After one week passed--in April. I purchased three new bikes for me and my two sons. I have defeated many things doing that. No more not riding with my children--we ride as a crew (family). We could not conquer the hill on my street. We used to stop 3 to 4 times before getting to the top ( I did). So now the wheels have turned. My kids ask me---"Daddy can we stop--our legs are burning". Thank God I am doing well now. Now with 21 pounds gone---but just riding bikes. I am ready for the next Journey...The 1st fill--I am looking forward to the next 4 to 6 weeks--maybe 12 or 20 pounds gone...who knows...:faint: this is how I feel on many days after my ride. Today--(8.5 miles) It was walking, riding around the fair in my town--but that is what my speedometer said when it was all over...

I guess I was trying to be like BG. Kind of a tribute to ODB. I asked myself how could it have been the Bike that let me down and how could I drive nearly 3000 miles without a problem only to have this happen so lose to home. HMmmmmmm

Fitlinxx looks cool. It also looks a little dirty with the XX like it's got an X rating or something.

Awesome you are not sore. Renee hit traffic and missed most of our appointment yesterday. I'm trying to figure out what to do the next few days in the gym. I'm tracking stuff, so no doubt I'll figure it out.

Good luck with the fill.

that bike looks like it has been through a real mess.

Wowo.

There are no fitlinxx near me. The closest is 3 hours away,

LOL

I do like the double xx. Dirty name for a dirty girl lol.

I hate my job. I know that's traditionally BG's role to play on here, but holy crap.

My people don't have 8 hours worth of work to do in a day but still they try to do as little as humanly possible so much to the point where one dude just lost his shit, and I had to talk him down so I wouldn't have to write him up for storming out of work.

What sucks is that he's right. He works harder than the rest and he got pissed. So he started yelling at his supervisor who started yelling back. And shutting her off is close to impossible while I'm like dude, be pissed, but tell me what you are doing and where you are going...so you don't get written up.

Ugh.

Aw J I am in that same position as your employee. What we need to do is win the lotto so we can all quit our jobs and ride bycyles all day long.

On a funny note my mother (who works in the same office suite as I) just came flying out of her office like a bullet after she tripped on something and flew into a wall. It was pretty humorous.

There is a special place in hell for children who laugh at their mothers.

And I will be letting people in the door.

If she were hurt I would not laugh. However, she almost pissed herself laughing so I figured it would be okay.

cute football ticker BG. Did you just change that?

Yes I did. I saw someone else with it and I had to have it. Thanks for noticing.

Hi kids!!!!! I FINALLY got out on the bike today after school...only went 11.44 miles....but it was great!!!! I feel soooo much better. Kinda like when you havent had an O for awhile and then you have one....it feelllsssss sooooooooooooooooo good. Simmer down JC, I know you have the bra and panties from the ride hanging by your computer....

I have an online class tonight.... I wish some one would get on here so I could do this and that at the same time....actuallly I wouldnt do that ...it is pathology and I am not doing all that good since the last exam.

Hey everyone! My DH and I want to starting riding bikes for exercise. We went looking at bikes and I am considering getting one of the bikes that has an electric assist to help going up hills. Does anyone else have one like this? Good or Bad???

D-

You are shameless. You kill me.

I have a straight up road bike, I've not seen the ones with an elelctric assist. My gut says avoid hills and go without that device. Sooner than you think you'll be strong enough to handle the hills.

I looked into getting one of those types of bikes. The landrider. We researched it and chose to start with a hybrid bike and take the hills slow, and build our strength. I still have issues with hills, but am getting so much stronger the longer I do them. It isnt always about how fast you get there, just that you get there.

I walked a whole bunch of hills when I first started, now I can get up the ones I struggled with 2 and 3 months ago.

I am planning on upgrading to a road bike too...just not right now.

Good luck with your shopping....what kind were you looking for if you dont mind my asking???

Got my fill today...he added another 1cc....we will see.He was pleased with my loss, and my riding, so as long as I am loosing I a happy..

D....I bet you were in heaven on the bike..that is just wonderful...

Well...I am late getting home, so I am going to get ready for bed.

See ya all later
