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...

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

First Annual. SUPER EVENT

Beautiful 67F to stat and about 73F by finish line.

They had Pizza, Apple Pie for free afterwards. They even had a Donut stop at the halfway point lol!

Sky Divers came in for the start. Good turnout. Plenty of Patriotic Music.

My time was 29:10

I ACTUALLY overtook people on this one!

That's fantastic. Overtaking people is awesome. Well, the one time I ran past the 80 year old man it felt good.

Great job, thanks for the update!

BG,

Orange electrical tape is purchased. Can't wait.

JJJJJJJJJJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

look at your freakin ticker!!!!! way to go !!!!!

I am suppper duppper proud of you!!!!!

!!!WE FIT!!!

Cedar Point = Giant roller coasters, too much sugar, sightings of bra abuse, and lots of walking!

And we didn't get pooped on thanks to my keen eye. Our biggest tragedy were BG's sunsglasses getting broken on the very fast upside down roller coaster.

Good times, good times indeed.

Thanks. The new fill is moving the weight a bit.

I want to get to goal by January....That's going to take some hard work, but I've got my fingers crossed.

See you on the trails!

whoa, I just had a first. Thought i would share with you all. I threw up. First time. I was stuck and I threw it up. It was a weird weird experience with throwing up. Just kinda up and out, a little plop and it was out. Weird. Guess I am not a virgin anymore when it comes to this. Dang it!!
