I am happy that I will be doing a nice long hike on sunday in Yosemite.

Has their ever been a good weight loss product commercial? I do enjoy the before and after pictures where you can clearly tell the person is sucking it in. It is nice to be at this point and see a weight loss add where people are saying how much weight they have lost on such and such a system and be able to think to…

Got work done today and had time for a nice bike ride. I only went 20 miles, and seemingly avoided going in a straight line, but I pushed myself to go faster. It's just nice to come back and feel it in your body.

I am happy when I get home from a long workout and get to enjoy that moment of peeling off your socks from your sore tired feet.

I can say this for 146 days. I have never not enjoyed what I have been eating. You should enjoy what you eat and I am. I think thats one of the things that has made it easy to stick with. Yes, real food tastes better. Whenever I give in and have something fast, or processed I usually enjoy it less and can taste the…

Well, i've been avoiding work for most of the day so I guess its about time I get to it. As for what started all of this, about two and half years of hating what I had done fallowed by an opportunity to trade 3 months of yoga for website design. I could waste the three months of exercise or use it as an opportunity. I used…

Had a short morning bike ride fallowed by some wonderful India food. Trying to decide if I will take one of my exercise bucket list items and do a two day bike tour in October. I would probably need to get a new bike to really make it work (go take a look at bike prices now and days). Things to think about.

I appreciate being able to wake up and go through the day without feeling like a fat slob. Thats the best way I can describe it. I'm not much thinner but I feel much happier with myself. I am happy that I have stopped secret eating. I am happy that working out makes me happy, that when I don't have the chance to I become…

I've written several times about WW so most of you already know my feelings on it. I have used it on three occasions. The first when I was I youngest and managed to loose weight. But like all other times I eventually quit, especially the last two times as it was just a waste. I was horrible at tracking and hated the point…

I need to go for a walk before I spend any more time fantasizing about hurting someone!

I really should read these things before I post.

So, how is everyones weigh in going today? Mine went fine, how about you all.

I am keenly aware of how overweight I am, at least I feel like I am. I know it's hard to measure yourself visually. At the same time, being aware of it, I have spent so much time avoiding looking at myself and being in situations where I have to recognize how large I am that I have some distortion. But knowing my BMI and…

I love being tired after a workout. I love relaxing after a warm shower to clean off all that sweat.

I hear you Caroline. I hope i wasn't sounding overly depressing. I know the changes are happening and I am happy for that I just need to spend more time seeing and excepting the changes. When your as big as we were it takes a lot more to get back out from behind those layers. Are you taking pictures? I'm totally being…

Well I must have been more annoyed then I though because I didn't top at 30 min or an hour, I just kept going. I was pissed off for about 7 miles of it before my mood began to change and now I am too tired to be in any particular mood which is what I was hoping for. It was a very slow ride till my mood improved and then it…

Here is the help article on how to remove step data. https://help.fitbit.com/customer/portal/articles/758715-can-i-delete-data-

I also use cyclemeter when riding (though I now have it upload to starva and have strava post to MFP for my calorie burn). I only think it (fitbit) remove steps if you manually log the activity with them (but i could be wrong). Otherwise it would be making some risky assumptions. My overages when riding haven't been that…

I think what the hell when I realize I've lost ~60lbs and my body doesn't feel like its changed. I know it has, my bum has displayed itself in public because my pants don't fit anymore... but I don't feel it. Not yet at least, not until this stomach and thighs are gone and my face is thinner. People tell me I look…

Well half of the boudoir album is done and onto finishing the event flyer. Maybe I will just say f*it and go for a bike ride at 5:30. Then I can come home get the flyer proof off and either start the retouch job, finish the album or start the poster design. Only three more projects after that. My favorite is my old…

I will desperately be trying to get all this work done while reassuring them that their projects will be completed on time (mostly) being pissy that I can't go out for a ride because theirs not time and the front light on my bike broke which makes evening rides impossible. Please clients, stop emailing with last moment…

Oh sure, rub my face in your gymnastic sex. What do I look forward to? I look forward to not being sole source for my own orgasms.... and being able to see everything without straining my neck. Is that enough sharing. As to the eggroll conundrum. The FDA lists an 80gram chicken eggroll as 157 cal so the packaging could be…

Hi Julie, Congrats on moving forward with your surgery. I hope the poking and prodding goes well. Like heather it is defiantly work. I'm self employed so their are cycles of long periods of little activity and then weeks of endless projects. When I first started this I was at a slow point in work for about a month. Not…

Hi hasjejc, We are still here, it's been a slow week and some of the member are off doing a 50 day challenge but their are plenty of people still here. Welcome, and we are happy to have someone else joining us on this long haul.

Well I am always partial to a wet noodle fight (no not the urban dictionary definition), but I have a feeling that not the sort of thing your talking about. Hmmm... i'll have to think about that.

I'm thankful to not have a lot of chronic issues, mostly because of my age, and that a lot of things I have been experiencing are changing. I have the typical issues. The flush face and the lack of breathing when you bend over to tie your shoes. What it has done to my body, especially the skin issues (poor thighs look like…

I nice morning sleeping in. I'm stiff all over but I'll go get the roller and give these muscles a good rubdown. I'll probably be doing more of the same during the winter. Th cold weather is more difficult on my asthma but the weightloss and exercise has helped me control outbreaks and except for the second time getting on…

Hi Shari, Welcome back and thanks. I am glad to see someone else is enjoying the bike. I have been thinking about trying a noiseless saddle to help with the discomfort. Good luck with the longer ride. Keep up the good work.

Thanks everyone. I'm completely wiped out, which is exactly how I want to be. Nothing like that feeling that you gave it your all.

I am thankful that I can keep pushing myself.
