Heh, happy Easter everyone! I just ate a good chunk of my Lake Champlain Easter Bunny. It's without it's head & ears now! Good stuff! And I only buy from our LBS, local bike shop! :)

We rode 10.55 miles today. And for all the Walmart bike haters, my comment really wasn't for you. It was for people who can't afford a bike and would like one. You can stop making neg comments about it now, ty. I have online friends who live in a trailer in the deep south & are flat broke but would like to ride a bike.…

@samcee - the Tweed Run looks great but impractical for me for every day riding. I get sweaty, those look fun if you're not doing long stinky rides, kind of like the awesome Electra bikes which are huge, made for comfort but only 1 - 7 gears. I have 21 gears, I go up and down hills, and I'm fully stinkified when I get off…

Awesome. Though usually eating out anywhere is like 1000 or more cals but good for you!

@samcee - what about Pearl Izumi stuff, and she now makes it in plus sizes? @rainman - love your funny bike quotes! @Bryan - fun, keep us updated on your bike ride goals! I used to bike every day in SF, it's how I got around! I hated the bus system - slow, smelly, awful and filled with drama. Bike riding was how I got…

You look fantastic!!!! ♥♥

I ♥ this thread so much. Just wanted to quickly add something, in case there's some lurkers out there. If you can't afford one of the bikes from a real bike shop Walmart has bikes that are like $89 and $99 made in China I think. Heck my Marin bike was made in Taiwan.... Here's the direct link…

I'm looking at Weather Underground for the weather this weekend. I really want to go out for another long wonderful bike ride with a packed lunch and some water bottles....heavenly.

@Michele - my husband bought a Specialized Crosstrail that's supposed to be very fast & good. They actually built it for him, he tried it twice and on the 2nd try-out he bought it. Today it was lightly raining/sprinkling & I saw a bike rider (male) in shorts, with his helmet riding around... :)

Family can be the cruelest and hurt the worst. I thought of something else too. My father who was fat as far back as I can remember was given HELL by my grandmother about his weight. What she said to him hurt me. My mother also said cruel things about his weight, him, and about his gf's who were always fat. And my mother…

Stepfather: you have legs like a football player (I was 12 years old at the time and super thin & he was fat). He repeated that throughout the time I lived there. Mother: you'll get FAAAAT if you OPEN THE REFRIGERATOR!!! (I was tired from walking home from school which took 30 mins. Turns out later I have hypoglycemia and…

Sounds awesome! Come join the official bicycle riders thread too! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/219921-bicycle-fans-official-thread-for-people-who-love-riding-th

I have a hybrid comfort bike a Marin Stinson, and it's definitely a great bike! I even have the "boy bar" on it because that bike fit me better than the girl bike. I tried a Trek Navigator and that was really fun....the downside is that online some people said that they had spokes that broke on it, but the dealers fixed it…

Oh yeah, it looked awesome, it was just loud....that was why it was a bit annoying. But definitely very cool looking.

I too have always had a belly since I was a skinny child. In addition to cardio are you doing daily crunches? I would think that strengthening the muscles underneath the fat abs can help. Well, actually it does help, even at the weight I'm at now. I'm doing this dvd:…

The only "bike" person we got annoyed with was some guy on the creek trail with a GAS POWERED bike. Picture this, the creek trail, quiet, car-free, safe, pollution-free, walkers, bicyclists....it sounded like a motorcycle was on the creek trail which would be illegal I think, but it was a guy on a gas powered…

You don't have to ride your bike with bike clips. Get your bike redone with regular pedals. I don't have clips on mine.

Ok, get the BEST lawyer in your state or town and just sue him for EVERY last red cent. And read lots of zen books.

Love that your boobs have deflated to a more normal size too. Mine were pretty overwhelming now they're much smaller. Still big but gosh nothing like they were. Good job!

Agree that "fit" is the most important thing about bikes. That's why I love my bike. It fits me perfectly.

Dunno about the thighs. This thread at a bike forum does have a lot to say about it and it goes on for at least 10 pages. Some people say that it's only genetics but others have really hard thighs. http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=4700

If anyone is interested in getting a ticker with a bicyclist on it, they have them at Lily Slim. They have both male and female cyclists there & you can put it into your sig like I have. http://lilyslim.com/

Well you could, you may want to wear one of those tight stretchy brace things around your foot for protection. If your town or somewhere near you has a bike rental, try to rent one first, just to see if you like riding a bike. OTOH you can go to a bike shop and "try out" a bike you like. There's a whole line now of Comfort…

OMG, don't you love Marin bikes? Mine is a Marin Stinson - with the guy bar on it, and I LOVE LOVE IT!! Gonna go look up Marin Ravenna...

I rode 10.3 miles yesterday and finally broke my plateau!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome, I have a hybrid too! What kind do you have? 10 miles a day! Wow!

I lost 27 lbs in almost 3 months, but have plateaued since early in April. Here's the deal with weight loss - if you're on the heavy side, say over 200 lbs (I started at 244) it's going to take you less time to lose, you can lose about .4 a day or more when you're bigger. Then when you lose more it starts to become harder…
