I also had tumors grow on my liver from birth control pills. I'd not have known until one of them ruptured last summer. Pain was intense from the internal bleeding. It was diagnosed as being a problem with my gall bladder despite my never having had gall bladder issues. I trusted the Dr's and had my gall bladder removed…

I started this with some folks at work yesterday and now see this thread. It's a sign! :) I'm in.

SW - 217 CW/WK1 - 216 GW - 197 I've lost 2 inches though, thanks to the 30 day shred...

CW - 217 GW - 197

I'm in. I look forward to the inspiration/motivation!

Feel free to add me as well. I started Paleo in January and am not more primal. I've had a challenging year so far and could use (and give!) some support. I have about 60 pounds to lose. Cheers. ~Karla

I make sweet potato 'chips' in the oven. Slice em thin, spritz with a little olive oil, sprinkle a bit of garlic powder and back until lightly browned. Delish.

Toss some carrots into a food processor, wiz em up and saute for a bit then add to the pot. It'll add texture and deliciousness. This is coming from a woman who isn't a carrot fan - until now. They are fairly cheap and will add bulk.

No kidding! It would suck if the other bikers saw you and thought you were a Poser! LOL :glasses:

Tennis shoes? Nah, I have a few pair of well worn boots, but will admit that I sometimes ride in boat shoes and have some special vented boots I occasionally wear. Hey man, it gets hot in Florida in August! I know, I bring shame to the riding community. I shall hang my head and repent. :laugh: An ex of mine, a "real biker"…

Wow, don't get your leathers in a twist guys. I was just having fun poking at y'all just like you were having fun poking at us 'non-bikers'. I wasn't offended, but am always entertained when this type of thing starts. I guess I enjoy playing the devils advocate a bit too much. No harm, no foul. Ride on, I'm just a girl who…

I am fully relaxed, just offering up my opinion as you often do yourself. Besides, if those weren't your words or beliefs why would you care what my opinion was? :laugh:

This poser stuff cracks me up. Why the judgement on how people ride? Aren't bikers supposed to be 'different' than non-riding people? And yet, if all the other bikers aren't exactly like them they get ridiculed. If you don't wear shirts from the Harley-Marketing-Machine or some lemming bike festival where the shirts are…

I have the 305.

I suspect it was that I didn't wet the strap enough, though I usually do. Sunday the weather was cold, windy, and really dry. I wasn't sweating to help with the strap connection. Maybe it was the static thing, I know my heart rate wasn't sky high - at least it didn't feel that way. Thanks for the input/comments.

I'm down only 4 pounds, but 9 inches. I'm totally happy with the inches. I was barely able to do a plank before this.... That is no longer the case! Plank on!

I'm pondering a ride to Key West for a long weekend. I probably wont do Daytona again. I prefer rides without the masses...

I rode this weekend. Started out in a leather jacket then went to mesh as the day warmed. Gorgeous day! These are the days that make me happy that I don't live in Washington (state) any more. Especially with the weather they've been having lately! I had friends without power during that last storm for 5 days! Yikes!

Excellent!!

I have a 2003 Fatboy. It's my first and so far my only bike.

I love them grilled. Cut in half, marinate with a little olive oil and powdered garlic - or whatever spices you like, then put on a vege pan on my grill. I like them really caramelized. Delish.

I go for a frozen banana. YUM!

Most excellent!

St Petersburg, FL

Excellent!!

Marine Biologist, but not the sexy work in the field with critters kind.. I do endangered species work, making sure anything the federal government permits, funds, or carries out doesn't kill threatened or endangered whales, turtles, sturgeon, sawfish, coral, or seagrass - oh my. This is done sitting at a desk reading…

I'm going to do some strength training on a total gym, and alternate that with some fun classes - belly and pole dancing. What can I say, Groupon had some good deals! And then, on weekends I'll do some standup paddling and if weather is bad I'll pick up a shred workout or some other video. That's my plan.

In no particular order: Blender for smoothies Mandolin for cutting stuff - lately it's been sweet potatoes for chips. Nice knives - no more cheap knives! Parchment paper - cleanup is so easy when baking stuff (sweet potato chips, kale chips, etc) My grill. I know it's not really a kitchen gadget, but I don't think I'd want…

Excellent! Keep up the good work!

Excellent! You're looking fantastic!
