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...

Hang in there chica, you are gonna get skinny in no time!

Cool about the friend cycling too.

I want BBQ.

Thanks J!

I'm having a rough few days...really a comedy in hindsight. Yeah, I'm a HOTTIE IN PROGESS!!!!

{SIGH} This too shall pass...

Well everyone......we are supposed to warm up and dry up too.....so that only means one thing for me....biking!!!!!

WOHHOOOOOO!!!!

I am less than 5days until I weigh in and I am working very hard to to get down to a 100 lbs off!!! I weighed this morning and if it is what it was today, I will change my ticker to reflect....(That would mean i was only 4 lbs away)

So, going to kick some butt out on the road tomorow, hopefully not not picking my butt off the ground from falling....HA-HA!!!

So, everyone....enjoy and be safe out there!!!!

OOOOHHHH....and Good luck TX!!!!!!

C - I'm on liquids too, since I just got a fill yesterday. I can start with mushies again tomorrow... but not sure I'm ready! This is a GOOD fill. Haha. I wrote on another thread how I ate about 3oz of my Activia yogurt for lunch and felt like I was gonna pop. My dinner was a small pudding cup. Now I'm sipping on Cranberry/Raspberry juice. Yum-O.

Totally off topic (like we never do that here?) - Have ya'll ever heard of The Diva Cup? (Diva Cup) Very weird sounding... but the more I read about it, the more appealing it seems...

Also...

Has anyone noticed since losing weight that you are cold all the time? Brrrrrrrrrrr! I'm still like 140 pounds from goal and I'm FREEZING most of the time. Shivering burns calories, right? I shoujld consult my BodyBugg. Lol.

Damnit HP! You're going to beat me to the 100 mark! Grrrrrrr!

Lol. Seriously though, thats awesome! Kick ass and take names girl!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Come On.....we Both Can Do This.......

Lets Go!!!!!!

Too Bad You Are Not Closer We Could Get Out And Walk Or Ride.....

But I Am Defiantly Excited That It Is Warmer

Oh..i Posted My Pictures Finally....i Wish I Could Move Them To Be In Order..??? Not Sure How To Do That....

Awesome job HP.

ZZ I think I could fill a Diva Cup within an hour. Yeah maybe that was jsut TMI but the idea grosses me out a little bit. But from things that I have read people who use products like that absolutely love them.

HP: Great job on the weight loss! You can do it!

ZZ: Wow, it does sound like you got a pretty good fill! I was so worried about being really hungry on this preop part, but I am doing surprisingly well! Keep up the good work on your goal with HP. You both are almost there!!

Oh...and that Diva Cup? Heard about those years ago, but they didn't really take off. Something about them not staying in place and "tipping" over....yeah, ewwww.

BG: The sun is shining just south of you! Did you get your good weather?

~c

ZZ,

The Diva Cup doesn't seem too freaky to me, but I'd have to be given one to try. I'd not buy one.

I love the if you're over thirty paragraph...like really, "your hoo is giant, even if you didn't birth a baby, it's old, we're telling you now, old, giant twat needs the bigger cup, don't balme us if you bleed down you leg..."

Now there that's way too much information. Sorry guys.

On to the weather, it's chilly today but it looks like the sun is trying to break through. We are spending a few hours at the zoo. But I am taking my bike to the shop to get my aerobars. Yeehaw.

turler......you will get through the liquid stage.....it is a mind over stomach thing I do believe......But....it is so worth it.

As far as the weather in Indiana today.....it is sunny, still just 39....so hoping for a nice warm up this afternoon.

OH I sold my Trek last night too. Great family. They have twins.

Thanks HP! I am ready for the changes. I wanna be like you all...losing weight, looking fine and all that! I am tired of the wait for this, but I am down to the wire now, it's actually going to happen for real!

Good for you selling your bike...shows commitment to the new one! :tt1:

~C

oh an BTW....NO need for cups for this chicka!!! Havent had that issue since I was 26...WOHOOOOO

No need to keep it around collecting dust...plus.....it went to pay for the bike I already have...kinda! Maybe a new purse???? NO....just kidding...well maybe....

You will be so happy you do this. when is your surgery date???

April 10th!!!!! WOO HOO!!!!

And, I am all about purses chica. I loooove them. There are some I just have a hard time paying the asking price for. Like Vera Bradley...love em, but just can't justify $100 for a cloth purse! Ya know?

OMY...Love Vera Bradley.....I have a store I go to, and after you spend $200 you get half off.

Of course it has been awhile.

I want the new patchwork one. This seasons really didnt get me too excited. I did see some Fossil purses for the spring that I loved!!!! But.....the one I liked was $130...so yea didnt get it....LOL

Well, we are off to do some running and than ride this afteroon.

April 10...that is next week!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!! I am so excited for you!!!!!
