I think we are in competition as I thought I was the biggest staller queen!! Lol :happy:

Very true! Looks like parking lots are in my near future!! :wink:

Love turtles! Cute tattoo! have one on my left shoulder blade. I don't have a pic. errr.. thought I did.

It is a HUGE deal!! What an awesome feeling. :smile: Congrats to you!!! :drinker:

Unfortunately, I did that 4 times on our ride! How embarrasing and yes.. I kept thinking someone is going to hit me. I got a few beeps and well deserved. I hate that. I have/had an issue giving it enough gas to GOOOO.. so I kill it or I left it in another gear. What a newbie!! lol In time, the more practice the better. I…

That is my next bike the 800. I have a 250 and I love it as it's easy to ride, but want somethign bigger. Curious on the answer to your question. I do know I still have an occasional problem with stopping. Meaning I am at a stop light. THINK I am in first and BAM! :noway: I kill the clutch. *Hangs head down* lol

Wow! Crazy, but definitely an eye opener. Thanks for posting!

Welcome!!!! You can do this!! I do get he whole smoking thing. It was hard to quite, but never impossible. It took me 2x's before I stopped and it's been 11 years! As for the weight loss, I look at it as a change of life not a "diet." :wink: This site is awesome!! Once you start logging your daily intake you, I feel it…

You will do great! :smile:

Hi there! I love this site, I am a semi newbie and yes!! I have found out when I write things down it helps tremendously! I just never realized it before that I was burning through calories like mad! Ha! Now I do and just starting this site and changing my way of thinking with food, has helped. Welcome back and I have sent…

Welcome! I am semi new. :smile: I agree, this is an awesome tool to use! I love it. Once I started tracking every nook and cranny that I ate, I just didn't realize how many calories I was eating a day. Crazy.. Now I am on track and loving it. Congrats to you on the weigh loss!! That is awesome!

Hi and welcome! You can add me if you'd like. :smile:

Gas!! It will save you some gas money! I know my car gets pricy when I fill the tank. My bike? Not even $10! I havea 250, but it's awesome. Especially if you live in Florida. Hope that helps your case!! :smile:

I am back and WOW! I am sore for sure, but I have expierenced every element and whatever else besides SNOW on the ride. lol Wind, extreme bugs, rain, cold, night riding, a deer, a jerk almost hit me, ran out of gas, (lol) and construction with the wavy road texture. That and the WIND was the absolute worst! At least I…

:smile: Thank you everyone! The clouds rolled in.. sigh.. and the wind has picked up. I hate when it's windy.. but trying to be positive and it will be fun! Everyone have an awesome weekend!

Thanks ladies! I honestly feel better about it. I just checked and it's about 155 miles maybe a little less. I definately want to take an hourly break. It's about 3.5 hours. Not too bad. I am just so dang happy that the sun is shining and it's going to be 75. I am excited. For some reason I do get nervous in traffic. We…

Thanks! He keeps reminding me that it isn't a small ride and it's over a 100 miles. Not to mention I also have a 250. Nothing like getting my riding season done in a day! lol :laugh: I know my husband is nervous for me, but I know I can handle. I think. :smile:

As for food, all my dogs are seniors. I feed them once in the morning and once in the evening. They have water throughout the day. . I know they have suggestions on the back of puppy food, the dry food. Your vet can give suggestions as well. How old is the pug?

This is pretty good info on pugs. http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/pug.htm http://pugs.cc/pug-information/

Yes!! That one too! I know someone and he uses it LIKE every other word. :noway: Annoying!!

I have a pug! His name is Wally and he is turning 11. What did you need to know? I can tell you they are smart and can be stubborn!

This irratates me to no end when people use the word retard twords someone. :mad: Love this phrase " I hear ya" or welcome to MY WORLD. (barf) :noway: Other favorite Coolio. No, it's just COOL!

HI Jen! Tina here and yes it goes on nicely but getting it off is hard! lol Please feel free to add me as well! I am new too, and I noticed that I get awesome support from my friends I now have and I give it right back! :smile:

Hey there! Why yes I DO have a module and love it. I have tried the full face and as it's nicely protected I just like the module so much better. I was thinking half helmet, but I hate bug smacks in the face!

YES! I am not a pink chick either, but some of the pink jackets are cute and tell you Hey yep, I am a chick! Not to mention the bright colors. Mine is a nice turquiose that they started selling. Fits great and nice and visible.

I am addicted to that website! The only frustration I had was I liked a jacket and bam! It was out of stock. ERRR.. but luckily I found one I loved. I am will you! Ha funny you said that.. I have a turquoise jacket with black.. Black to match the bike AND... I have a black helmet. My husband mentioned a white helmet. As…

Welcome back! I had a physical late last year and I was told high cholestrol too. For some reason it still didn't click or I was in denial and 3 weeks ago started taking my heath seriously. Better now then never! :smile: Please feel free to add me as a friend.

Congrats on that terrific weight loss!! You can add me as a friend if you'd like. :smile: Oh and I have never heard of Bodybugg? What is that?

I use to not wear a helmet or gear on my husbands bike as a passenger. NOW that I am riding, it's second nature to slap on the jacket, secure the helmet and zip up the boots! I do not feel comfortable riding without it. I don't know if you guys have heard of this website, but you can get awesome deals on motorcycle gear. I…
