Yes! I was born and raised in Cleveland:) I, of course, get a lot of flack for my continued alligence but I say to each their own, not everyone has good taste:wink:

First: AWESOME JOB! Second: GO BROWNS! GO BUCKS!

I"m in! I generally get in 1-2miles a day due to the type of work I do, so I'llgo for an additional 1-2 a day in some other form of activity:)

AWESOME job! and GO BUCKS:happy:

Really?! I'll have to try that. I am not a morning person and would love an extra energy boost in the AM:)

Thanks to all of you! I feel much better now:)

HI all! I am the mother of two delightful boys, ages 8 and 6. I am FAR from my pre-pregnancy weight with number one and only about 15lbs away from #2's before weight (which was still 25lbs more than before number 1) I work full time and am in nursing school so finding time to work out is tough. I'm more concerned right now…

First: CONGRATS!!!! 4lbs is AWESOME! Second, I'm totally stealing your "released #lbs" because I also have a habit of finding things:) Keep up the Great Work!

DITTO!

Thanks for the thoughts ladies...... it does seem pricey for something that is basically the same as the muscle builder my friends husband uses (which is $40 but last like 3months). I'll definitely just try what he has:)

I figured I could just use a protein powder from GNC that cost WAY less:) Thanks.

You look great! And that yellow dress if FABULOUS! It's perfect for a wedding i'm going to, where did you get it?

I wish I had your DR! Instead I had a dr. who was similar to my build and weight, who just told me that losing 20lbs would be good, but I was fine the way I was........ even with high cardiac markers (showing the probability of future heart problems) all at the age of 29! Seriously! If she had told me 4yrs ago I'd be dead…

When I saw how I looked in a recent family photo. My weight hasn't changed much from last years family photo (although I've been a member since last august, I was very sporadic until recently) but for some reason the body position and lighting in this one picture just did me in. It was 5/19 and I was sitting at the…

Holy Crow you look AH-MAZING!!! do you dance professionally? I would totally take a belly dancing class/buy dvd if it would make me look like you!

My first bike was a pink huffy with a banana seat, then I had a purple ten speed. This one is blue and I love it! I'll put up a pic tomorrow, it just arrived and I've been riding it around, and quite frankly I'm to lazy to break out the camera, put pics on the computer, then upload to photobucket then upload here! I'm…

Hm, Didn't think about lights.... good thing there is a Triathelete store near by, I know they owners so I will get the best:)

I'm getting a Magna from Target, it's a mountain bike. What kind is that that you have?

I know that's right! My cousin lives in DC and is a marathon runner and I don't know how many times she's been damn near run over running on the sidewalk. I also figure after I knock some pounds off I'll take to the trails at the park:)

I do plan on riding in the street. I live in a quiet neighborhood, and will have to ride in the early dawn hours, doubt many people will be up:) That's a good idea though, and I'll do that before I head outside of my little neighborhood. Thanks for the advice........ P.S, your "bike" looks awesome! [/quote] Thanks. I'm…

I can't wait to have those!! Great job:happy:

LOL, I know that's right..... I wish I could upload to this site from my phone, maybe they can add that to the app:) Pics will be posted as soon as it's delivered!

Yeah, I'm not sure about the seat on it, and I'm not looking forward to the pain, but the end result will be WORTH IT!

I hear Ya! I'll have to ride @ the butt crack of dawn though to get it in before a: my hubby goes to work, and b: the heat index breaks 100 (where I live that's now until september:noway: ) I can't wait for the rock hard butt:happy:

LOL!!!! I honestly don't even shop at walmart:smile: I'm a Target Girl, I just noticed that walmart had a sale......... I'm a money saver:happy:

Walmart has them on sale:happy: I'm not ready for a hardcore "training" bike yet, maybe after I drop these 40lbs:wink:

:smile: The first adventure will be getting used to the helmet! I learned to ride a bike back when most cars didn't have seatbelts in the back.......... I'll post a pic.......if I can remember my photobucket password:wink:

Ditto! I like to joke that I was pale before Vampires made it cool:wink: It also doesn't hurt to see girls my age who look 10yrs older because they feel that being tanned (or sometimes umpa loompa orange) is the way to go. And you're right, people used to use horrible thick make up just to appear snowy white, and we get it…

Y'all are cracking me up! I am also a red head and do not tan. I had a very bad burn when I was 7 (my mother tans so she's not sun savy), and my nickname from 6th grade to graduation was Casper. I'm afraid a sray tan would look horrible so I don't bother. My brother once said I'd be a nice shade of brown if I just tattooed…
