Thank you antrobin! I'm really no different than anyone else here... On the street, most of you would never recognize me. I'm rather laid back and reserved. Really not a social butterfly looking for attention. When I signed up here on MFP about 9 weeks ago, I didn't think or expect I'd be receiving thanks from so many of…

Bizgril....:drinker: PUT THE BEVERAGE DOWN AND STEP AWAY FROM THE TABLE! :angry: [acting like the beverage police] Well... I think your break even point for that 30 minutes of cardio is... 2 Beverages.... Todays exercise IOU is now at 45 more minutes! Oh my! :laugh: Take a breath, the workday is almost over! Carl -

Everyone, Thank you antrobin and Smirnoff!! Please let me hear back on this.... It appears I could just "Rename" this Group.... and continue to use it! That would serve to take our historical topics and posting, and continue to build on them... Not sure which way to go with it... Rename or New ? Still thinking it through…

Just a group announcement! For August..... I've seen many comments where you are hoping to continue this again next month.... Well? I'll set the new group up very late on Sunday evening June 29th... so be on the look out for: "10lbs By August 1st" I really hope to see you all join the new group and continue the challenge.…

Welcome, misssararae, Happy to have you join our group... reach out and make some more friends from this group and get ready... Most likely Monday evening I will create a "Loose 10 lb. group for August" Carl -

Congrats bizgirl.... But.... I really like seeing that ticker of yours that says "Lost 40 Lbs." Very nice accomplishment! Carl-

This is an unrelated post... I've started riding a Hybrid Mountain bike in the Orlando Florida area as my primary exercise for weight loss. Central Florida has many paved walking/biking trails available that go on for many, many miles.. A local artist here in and area called Longwood has been painting the fences with…

Took off 3 days for personal business and snuck in a long morning ride today. 25.4 miles in 2hr 40min... that spent 1758 calories..... Took on a very lite sun burn too... this morning was sunny and hot! Carl -
