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...

Who's,

I wanted to tell you how very awesome you have done and

HAPPY BANDIVERSARY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't want it to get lost on your other thread you started, but you have done the absolute best ever on your weight loss. And they say only gastric bypass can produce that kind of results.....I bet they would hate to see you coming......

You are #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and I joined the dailyplate today. I will track for this week and next and see if I can lose some weight. I will track everything going in my mouth. It says I can eat 2200 calories to lose 2 pounds a week, with all the exercise I do....we will see. I WILL do this for two weeks. I promise. There, now I HAVE to do it...

Hey, where is ZZ??????

d...does that place have a website????

Hey thanks!!!!!!!!!! That means ALOT TO me.

O and try Sparkspeople.com it kicks dailys butt.

whos...WOOOHOOOO

YOU ARE KICKIN SOME BUTT!!!!!!]

WAY TO GO....

I kinda like the daily....everything I put in is there....sparks didn't seem as good when I tried it a year ago...

Oh, and DH wants me to check out prices and such for MuddyBudyy in CO...he wants to do!!! This year!!!!!!! I will let you know...I am going to check right now....

After checking out everything, we decided not to go this year. The price for the event is great, it is the rooms and the gas and food that is bad. Maybe next year!!

Didn't get any riding in last night. The wind was blowing super hard. Today is really really cloudy with nasty looking clouds....hope they go away

Whos

Great work on the weight loss! You are fantastic! Who will you partner up with next year for the MB?

D,

Really see about Chicago in 09. HP, you too. It was more fun than I can tell you.

Oh, D, the mountain bike is really my old hybrid that I cleaned up and decorated for the MB. It's a Trek, like who knew? Anyway, it's in good shape and the GF bought a mountain bike a few months back. Where she lives is a huge mountain biking park...so we were thinking of giving it a shot. And after riding the MB I can see where some skill building would help our time next year.

Happy Wednesday.

I guess I didn't do the figuring right with dailyplate. I can consume 1300 calories a day to lose 3 pounds a week. Oh, well, good thing I figured it out, I would have been gaining at 2200 a day!!!!! Although thats probably what I have been eating, and why I am not losing.

Where is everyone????

studying like crazy

Okay..so I bought a new bike seat, it has helped relieve the pressure on my tailbone... so far! It is the Bontrager cruiser CRZ+

It was only $35 at my local bike store and I must say the owners of this store are awesome, they were willing to let me try out a few different seats until I found the right one.

I had a NSV yesterday! My hubby and I went to Busch Gardens and I was able to fit into the roller coasters with having to ask for the larger seats!! I was a little nervous that I hadn't lost enough weight yet to be able to get the bars over my chest and tummy. But they closed just fine.

Today we did yard work for over an hour and did a quick ride....when it is a feels like temp of 110 degree's there is only so much you can fit into the cool down hours before the sun sets!

I checked out the daily plate, that looks like a pretty cool website, however it says for my height (6 ft ) and my current weight I am able to eat 2000 calories and still drop the weight, I am not eating that much now and I am not dropping 4 lbs a week.. so I don't know..

TG, glad you found a new seat.

I can't give any advice on the daily plate thing because I have just started using it too. Hopefully we can get this worked out!!

Oh, and that is a GREAT NSV!!!! I can't wait to go to Lagoon in Utah and ride the rides. The last time we were there, I was the carry on person....ya know....the person to carry everything that others could not carry on the rides.....

I did get to go on the Haunted House ride.....and I got stuck trying to get out of my seat....the kid who was running the ride, would not help me get out...it was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo embarassing.....
