Okay, MacMadame, I hafta tell ya -- I bow at your feet, woman! I got on my bike today for the first time in years, and between two different rides I rode 16 miles. My ass hurts like I've been spanked relentlessly -- and not in that good way -- and I won't even get into how my hoo-ha is feeling. :thumbup:

The last mile of my second ride (9 miles) I almost didn't make it home. Between the butt pain and sheer fatigue, I was afraid I was gonna have to call hubby and ask him to ride up the road and come get me.

Beth, you are tossing me softballs here and making it waaaaay too easy.....but I'll resist.

I probably should look in the exercise thread, but I'm thinking about getting a bike (I live rual, so it would have to be a mountain bike I guess?). I'm a shade above 290.....do I have a chance in hell of finding a bike that can hold my enormous girth*?

*and by enormous girth, I'm referring to my genitals.

Omg, Plain! Guess you'll need a bike with a Barcalounger seat then.

You know, it just doesn't sound the same when we women talk about our huge genitals. I think of hoo-has that look like blow-up rafts or something. Kinda disgusting, really... :thumbup:

Okay, here's some catch up posting!

*Beth, congrats on the scale victory! WTG!

And I think your vet is ripping you off!

Our last dog cost us a fortune! We picked her up from the SPCA when she was about 6 months old. Great dog but was at the vet’s every time we turned around! Ended up needing knee surgery for a torn ACL! Then while she was healing from that, she started sneezing and bleeding a little from her nose. Turned out to be Nasalcondrosarcoma, terminal cancer, that would eventually make it’s way to her brain. It was a horrible experience and I don’t wish it on anyone. This all happened 5 yrs ago and it still breaks me up when I think about it. Doesn’t stop me from getting more animals tho!

*Ebony, here’s hoping that one of those apps finds you a new and BETTER job!

Have a fantastic trip this weekend!

*Donna, I’m hoping your stall breaks soon!

*Fanny, your pics from work are amazing! But no way in HELL would I be up there! Yikes!

*BG and Mac, hope the work stuff gets better.

*Tap, sometimes the hired help is worse than just doing it yourself!

*g4e, you had to. You can’t have a dog like that in a home with other animals and children esp. Heartbreaking tho, I know.

*Mac, again, sounds like a successful shopping trip!

*Beth, again, if you’re going to get serious about biking, get your “seat” fitted. Yes I mean your butt. My mom did that, thinking she needed a bigger bike seat, turns out the way she’s shaped, she needed a smaller bike seat. She has no problems with fatigue anymore!

*A huge HELLO to everyone!

PJTP: DH made it home from the Santa Barbara fire on Sat and was able to have his regular 4 days off when he was released Sun AM. Nice to have him home but his days off seemed so short! He's back at work today.

Headed in for a fill tomorrow. Was scheduled to go in next Wed but with all the b-day stuff for DD next week, figured I'd better get that fill early! We're having a quiet weekend so that will help with the fill. I'll (hopefully) have myself all figured out by next week.

Staying home for the weekend. Literally, other than church on Sun and visits to DH at the station, we're staying at home! We live in a tourist town with a nice lake 5 minutes away; a national park entrance 20 minutes away (and you have to drive right thru town to get to it); fantastic, easy to get to, camping, minutes up the road; and numerous, HUGE, popular community events. So, just as I do on July 4th and the days surrounding it, and Labor Day weekend, I stay HOME!! Here comes summer!

Okay, gotta get. Have a great night everyone!

16 miles your first time? That's amazing!

My ass hurts like I've been spanked relentlessly -- and not in that good way -- and I won't even get into how my hoo-ha is feeling. :thumbup:

I had a bike fit and now my hoo-ha goes numb. I have to go back. They told me to get a smaller seat, but I didn't want to change it out 4 days before a race. Apparently, my butt is smaller than I thought. Isn't that cool?

I probably should look in the exercise thread, but I'm thinking about getting a bike (I live rual, so it would have to be a mountain bike I guess?). I'm a shade above 290l

You just need a frame that fits your height. The weight is really irrelevant to a good fit.

I just keep picturing that trick where an empty aluminum (sp?) can is able to hold the weight of a person standing on top of it until it's gently tapped.......then *crunch*. I don't want my bike to be the can when I'm riding down the street.

16 miles on your first time back to biking - OMG!! I mean, way to go, that's fab, etc, but 16 MILES...I think I'd stroke out long before I'd suffer numb-bum!!

Oh, for some kind of Vulcan mind trick to erase THAT image!

ZING to Plain :tt2::party:; Re female genitalia image as described by Beth - blech.

Heartfire - glad hubby is home safe and sound; your location sounds wonderful...remember, DH and I are still trying to find THE place in which to retire.

But it would be SO funny to see it!!!

OK everyone - Have a great weekend. The sun is shining and the temp may hit 70 (even 75) here - whoo hoo!! Playing in the garden is the activity of choice this weekend!

It is a gelled seat. :thumbup: And yeah, I was teasing hubby that obviously he's been slacking in his, ahem, duties because I'm not calloused enough down south. :lol:

NSV: HELLO size 18 jeans!!! :lol:

Just bought a pair on eBay last week and they came yesterday. We're getting ready to head out on the motorcycles in a few, and I had my 20's sitting there staring at me, but I thought, "Hm, maybe try the 18's. The 20's are getting baggy in the butt."

I expected to get them UP but not necessarily buttoned and zipped. And OMG, they did BOTH! They're a teeny bit snug in the waist (they tend to stretch after being worn), but I didn't have to lay on the bed or use any devices to get hooked into them. YAY!! :thumbup:

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
