in Introduce Yourself
Hi all,

I have been on MFP since February. I've lost 40 lbs through lifting and lots and lots of mountain biking and elliptical. At the beginning of august I was in a horrific bike crash and broke my collarbone, dislocated my shoulder and pretty much road rashed my entire body. I fell on a metal corrugated bridge and needed lots of stitches to repair all the cuts. I can't lift for 2 more months, but have resumed my cardio if only to keep my sanity while I heal. It took me a while to come back to the site after my accident because I was pretty depressed about my immobility and the death of my bike. When I finally logged back on, I found that more than half of my friends are MIA or deleted me in my absence. Please be my friend!

    I cannot imagine going through that! I am so sorry you had such a traumatic experience. I am just getting back on here as well. I have never committed to a diet for long, but plan to stick with it this time. You are welcome to add me as a friend. I am not sure how to do that yet, but will figure it out soon! I hope you heal quickly, mentally and physically!

    sending FR and so sorry about your accident and the demise of your bike but much more concerned about you. You're a brave gal and you'll get "back in the saddle" so to speak in no time. Sounds like you had a rough one and you sound really grounded! Congrats on taking hold of this and not letting it take you down :flowerforyou:

    You can add me. I have been on a long road to recovery and love the idea of mountain biking but for safety and lack of partner for it haven't but am faithful at gym

    Hey
    Glad you are on the road to recovery, I was knocked of my mountain bike twice last year and once this year by a lorry driver. All my weight loss has been through healthy eating and road biking:))

    Feel free to add me.
