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...

Thank you very much! For the first time in my life, my bottom half is smaller than my top half! LOL

wELL YOU LOOK AWESOME.

Great pics, Stef!

Steph you look great. Hot bike too.

Wow, you got some arms...your tummy looks great too! Oh, and you're quite pretty...but we knew that frm the pics we see everyday.

WTG, chica

WOW Stef! You are beautiful! You look really fit...your arms rock! That's a hard place for most women to tone up. Good job! Thanks for sharing.

Oh, and I like your colors on your profile!

J: Band Day is definitely cooler than the mall, but I still wish I could be there too since I missed seeing ya in March too. Besides, I'd kinda like to see H's progress and bear witness to the meeting of she and BG. I'm sure it will go fine! I think she's lost quite a bit of weight too, so I really would like to see her...our beginning stats are close I think...not sure. Anyway, I'm sure I'll be seeing you soon...one way or another. TOSRV even, maybe?

OMG! Stef. I hate you because you are beautiful. Lol... remember those old Pantene shampoo commercials?

Seriously though, you look soooo good! I'll look that good after thousands of dollars of cosmetic surgery!!

Holy Cow Stef!!! You look great!!!

Wow look at you little riblets!!!!! dig the belly button peircing!

Now wheres your dancing pole?

I am seriously blushing while grinning from ear to ear from all the comments! Thanks, everybody!

I'm sure everyone has that nagging fear in the back of their heads when they post pics...and I did, too. I love how this place is so supportive for everyone.

Riblets! Too funny, Daddy! And yeah...it would be so cool to have a pole just to practice and play around! Hubby would love it, I'm sure!

P.S. Oh, and C...thanks, the color thing is new. The profile editor was just added, so now everyone can decorate! I was just playing around...I need to make mine more my style...right now it kind of looks like Easter exploded! It's definitely BRIGHT!

TX, seriously looking at those pics I would never imagine you ever had a weight problem. You really look amazing and ahve a lot to be proud of.

Steph!!!! You Look Amazing......wonderful Pictures!!!!!!!

Hey all... if you're bored - like I am - go lookie at my pics now. Lol. Stef inspired me to start posting pics of myself up in my profile albums... even if I'm not skinny and hot like her.

I should really be cleaning or paying bills or something...

Here I am!

April's Foolin!

BG - Wow, thanks so much! That means a lot, really!

HP - Thank you, too!

ZZ - Are you kidding me?!?!? You are SUPER hot! I bet those smoky eyes just melt the guys! (That's why I copied your "eyes" pic!) I love all your pics!

J - OMG! That's GREAT! And you got her bod before I did! I swear if I swung that way, I would SO do her! LOL
