Hey Smirnoff, sorry I've been MIA a bit... I had lots of personal items going on and distracting me. They were time consumers too. I found that when I did log on and began commenting on the posting everyone was making I was playing catch up. I also noticed that If I commented on a posting the was a day or more old, often…

I got 2 small rides in today... Going to try something more serious tomorrow! Carl -

Today I got a ride in..... went along with a group of 7 today. Planned a 26 mile ride and did it in just over 3 .5 hours... this was a slow pace and the calories burnt was quite low compared to others I've done.. At the 13 mile marker one of the women riders crashed and wound up with road rash on her shoulder and chin...…

Well this weekend I get to do more things around the house.... fixing and cleaning oh boy! I will also get a long ride in early tomorrow.... maybe a small one this evening. Enjoy your weekend! Carl -

This evening I got an hour riding in the neighborhood... So nice!

Robin, that happened to me a month ago... It is tough to get knocked back like that but stick with doing the right things... Exercise, eat right and stay positive.... Feel good about everything you are doing.... no matter what that scale says... Your doing great, keep it up! Carl -

This 0.5lb. loss is a 3 day Sept. Challenge drop.... still moving in the right direction! For the week, I recorded a 1.0 lb. loss since my last weigh in ! :smile: Carl -

Now, Now, girl friend !.... get use to it.... it's only the beginning! :bigsmile: This is so cool to see! Carl -

I've been a slacker on my exercise routine for about 2 weeks now..... I got a 26 mile bike ride in today and It felt great! Burned 1,750 calories. My walks at work in the parking garage have pretty much stopped because of the Temps climbing into the mid to high 90's... Carl -

Robin... no error here :flowerforyou:

You guys are a riot... I've got a grin that wont quit because of you.. Oh Robin.... was the "with with" intentional? If so, I caught it and I think Smirnoff decided to laugh it off! Fret not.. It happens to the best of us! :bigsmile: Carl -

No doubt Robin is doesn't just happen... it requires effort, commitment and staying focused... as a minimum that goes for every one of us! Then we get to support one another.... You are a driven individual with a lot of inter strength... I admire that too, but.... we all have our struggles and weaknesses. Doing this is…

Well congratulation to you on that last minute loss.... My scale went down 0.5 this morning so I'm happy too! :-)

Sorry I didn't catch that Smirnoff Carl -

Dee, Your success of loosing 50+ lbs. is nothing short of Fabulous! Doing that with minimal support is a testimony to your own inter strength!
