Hope yours has snow treads and a plow!! HAR!!!

I haven't seen that one out here in sunny Oregon, but I've been looking for a recumbant. Tried a few and haven't found one that is quite right for me yet.

Cheers!!!

Boy, you got that right, Jack!! I looked in the accessories section and no mention of a snow plow. Perhaps a snorkle so I can go right through the drifts??

Hi Teachlady---I would love to have a bike like this because my bottom can only take so much time on a regular bike, even beach cruisors. But, how many calories does this bike burn in relation to the other regular bikes? Is it nearly as much, more than, or significantly less?

Lisa..

I'm guessing that a bike is a bike is a bike. The more you put into it the more calories you burn. The Path model that I'm looking at is 3 speed and the bottom of the line, but has everything I would need. There are 8 more versions of the bike, going up to 27 speeds.

Hi Teachlady:

Have you thought of a trikke? Check it out online if you have a minute. I bought my trikke from www.tampatrikke.com Now they have one that has a motor on it. However, I don't have a motor. Mine is powered by me, and only me. It's probably better for people who live in fairweather places. I had to hang up my trikke in November because it's not made for wet roads. I am addicted to riding it and can hardly wait for March so that I can continue my exercise addiction.

I'm sure that my trikke helped me achieve my goal of wearing a size 12 - from a 26/28. I have great muscles in my thighs too!:tongue2:

Let me know if you try a trikke. If you do, enjoy the swerve!

Sue

Sue,

I've had a trikke for two years now and never have used it, but they have a store in town and have set up times at the rec center to try them out and to ride your own, so I'm going to try it out next Tuesday. I still want the terratrike, but will give the Trikke a shot! I'll have to report in and let you know how it goes! I've read about your trikke riding and you're my role model. Just wish you were here to show me how to do it.. I'm always afraid of looking foolish.

Good luck next Tuesday at the rec center. It may take more than one try to get it down. If you want to try it with someone who's experienced and in your area check out www.trikketalk.com The people there are friendly and helpful.

Let me know how it goes. Once you find the sweet spot it's kind of like ice dancing with a great partner.

Just back from the Trikke Track. The good news is hubby did awesome.:) The bad news is, I don't have the hang of it yet. :) I took my Trikke T8, but it wasn't as good as the ones with air tires, so they guy is going to see if mine can be upgraded. The other good news is, he is going to bring the terratrike with him a week from Thrusday so I can tool around on it while hubby is trikking. Sould be fun. And I haven't given up on the trikke yet! I WILL get the hang of it eventually...or collapse trying!!

Good luck. Don't give up! You're lucky that you have someone to trikke with. I'm hoping to find a local trikke buddy this spring.

Best wishes to you and Happy New Year!

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
