    Turning 40 this June, 40 is the new 20, right?! However, my plan is to tell people that I am 50 so they'll think I look even better ;) lol I am back to MFP again because I downloaded it 4 years ago then apparently abandoned it and gained SEVENTY pounds, geez louise. I have lost 20lbs of this so far since logging on and making the commitment about 40 days ago and things are going amazingly well. Best of luck to everyone out there!!! :)

    So I'm a bit disappointed. I'm was hoping to find an inexpensive pair of snow shoes to try snow shoe hiking this winter. I don't want to spend a lot because I probably would only get 1 or 2 hikes during the winter and don't know if I'd like it yet.

    After doing some research, I find I'm too heavy for most of them and the ones that would support my weight are very expensive. So I'll put this off until next year or until I meet the weight limit, whichever comes first.

    I hope you can find some too, that does sound disappointing!

    Thanks Amy. I’m probably going to wait until I reach 240 or 235. I figure I need to consider the weight of boots and winter clothing in that 250 limit. I’ll get that before the heavy snows. Then I just need to find an inexpensive set. Used sounds like a good option.

    You can find them out there. I have a pair of 10"x36" off-brand GV snowshoes that I bought from a regional seller. I think I paid about $70USD new for them about six years ago and have only used them a handful of times since the snow hasn't been all that bad. But, I'm considering upgrading one of these days to a much better pair since I enjoy it and go into places that I need more float.
    The downside to being heavy with snowshoes is most companies don't make them, and the ones that do have to charge a lot due to structural reasons.
    If all you're doing is looking to try it out, I'd recommend finding a place you can rent them from. Can your local county or municipality park and recreations department to find out more. Not every place will rent them. But, they might have a recommendation on where.

    I never thought of renting a pair. That would be ideal. Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll look for a local rentals place.

    I spent 2 weeks not catching my wife's cold. Last night my luck ran out. I feel like my head got run over by a Mack truck. :unamused: So here I am sitting at work with a box of tissues, a bottle of hand sanitizer, and tea. Any suggestions for getting rid of cold?

    Check around the ski shops and sporting goods stores. We can rent snowshoes and skis and other gear at the local ski area. A great way to try out snowshoes without spending beaucoup dollars. They have gear for everyone from children to large adults.

    Thanks. The average cold for me lasts about 10 days. I don’t have that much sick time. I’m using plenty of soap and water and I’m not around a lot of people during the day. If it was worse then a cold I’d stay out.

    I appreciate the suggestion. I’m going to call a ski shop I’ve done business with in the past and see what they can offer.
