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...

Is that better for you?

d!!!! look at your ticker girl!!!!!!! way to go girl!!!!!!!!!! I cant weigh in today as I am still not around a scale...so next monday will be my day....

I have not heard from them....will be calling here in about an hour to check...I am just on break now.....

J....a size 14?? Wow......you looked so happy in your avatar.....

It is from the movie Anchorman. Youtube it.

Its benign everyone!!!!

I am sooooooooooooo super happy Traci!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHew, that was a long weekend I bet!!!!

Nice avatar BG. Just sayin'......

Well, I figured jogging is more accurate than using the term running....running to me is what the Olympians do in their racing....I am close but not that good....JUST KIDDING!!!!!

I think the running (sorry, jogging) has made this 6 pound loss happen...

First of all TRACI!!~~~ I am soooo happy and relieved! I am screaming YEAH YEAH YEAH for you and doing my version of a happy dance! (which would make you pee yourself if you every saw)!

D~ 6 lbs this week...you are an animal....you go girl!!! Its good to shock the body every now and then..I can't believe you are only 21 lbs away from your goal!! WOOOT WOOOOT!!

I got my second fill today...wow..I feel tight...they have me drink cold water fast..which of course sends my tummy into spasms b/c it soo cold. So he added a .5 cc to me today...and I am still trying to get the water down that I drank at the office. I slimed on the way home..

So clears for today and tomorrow then full liquids then back to regular food. Hopefully this will help me out this month.

I've been reading a lot lately here about road bikes, mountain bikes and hybrid bikes. What are these? Of course, mine is a standard Scwhinn right now from Walmart. I needed to see how I liked this biking before spending big bucks. It was called a comfort bike. Hopefully I'll be back on mine soon. I go to the surgeon for my post op gall bladder appt on Wed. since that surgery I'm dropping like crazy at the scale. I like it but am also wondering if I am going to hit a wall. I had gained 8 lbs in the hospital, I imagine from the fluids, swelling, etc. I lost that and 8 more in less than a week.

D, any news on your gall bladder and attacks? I seem to remember reading that your tests were normal, do they know what it is?

No news and they have not called me yet......

I'm gonna let HP tell you all about bikes. She's bought them all and is actively still riding. I feel a little like a poser posting on here. But this is home so I'm not leaving. And I'll get back on the bike again, promise.

D, don't tell the bikers but I believe deep in my heart running is the key to getting to goal and beyond it. If you look at the goal chicas on this board, they run. And girl, call it running.

I run at work, we have a paved road that circles the building complex. One coworker told me she saw me out there "walking" I told her, "I might be slow, but I call it running." I pick my feet up like a runner!

Well sorta.

You're inspiring as always.

BG, I looked up LAMP on youtube. Funny as hell. I loved that movie. I'm sure you're not surprised.

ZZZZZ, I see you lurking. You had better post!

I see Suzzzzzzzzzzzzzzieeeeeeeee on here, she BETTER post!!!!

HP I am so happy for you!!!!!

That little ZZ DID NOT post!!!!!!!!!!!! She is in sooooooooooooooooo much trouble!!!

J, we had the exact same thought at the exact same time!!!

J,

My exercise physiologist once told me that running is the best way for a woman to lose weight and keep it off. I am not all about running though. I do not want to be a runner. I want to ride my bike. BUT, I think I needed a little kick in the behind, which, I might add, worked!!! A loss of 6 pounds in a week is beyond what I could ever imagine at this point in the game.......
