That is great news! I have been losing about a pound a week which is what I have targeted. WIth more strength training I should be able to maintain this weight loss.

I would say that it would make it easier. The trikkes that I ride are air tires and I think they can ride on a hard dirt road most likely but probably not a loose gravel road. They also have trikkes that are motor operated and you can ride them manually also. http://www.trikke.com/

Here is a link with JImmy Carter riding his trikke. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_p8Bjjfwww

You can customize and enter a personal food item with the amount of calories. This way you will have it recorded and saved and only have to figure it out one time. Maybe someone needs to produce some playing cards with pictures of vegetables and fruits on it with the calories. You deal out the cards that you used in the…

I am glad that this is helping you! Do you ever go fishing in your area? I heard that the smallmouth and walleye fishing are great in your neck of the woods. Baby steps can lead to big steps.

Here is a smoothie I have been making lately and for some strange but good reason it tastes like chocolate! I don't have the proportions that I used so you have to play around with it and adjust for taste. Amazing but true!

Gluguru: It is a great exercise and tons of fun! Easy on the body yet you get a full body workout and it is a thousand times more fun than riding a bike! President Jimmy Carter and Rosalind ride the trikke often

My favorite vanilla ice cream recipe.

Never thought of it but maybe I will get one. I just can not believe that playing 18 holes of golf carrying your own bag would burn over 1400 calories!! It seems totally absurd to me. I think it is more like 500-600 at the very most.

Wildberry about how many calories are your 24 oz. smoothies?

Absolutely you can climb up hills but it will take some training and technique. As a matter of fact there is a very active trikke riding group up in Los Angeles. Trikke riding is just a great exercise for all levels of fitness. Try it out. There is a store in Torrance called South Bay Trikke. http://www.southbaytrikke.com/…

That is great that you joined the group and are taking action. Remember just making a decision of any kind gets you closer to your goal. If you take action and get moving you can always change your original intent. Nothing is ever perfect so just start and keep moving. Also be kind to yourself if you slip up every now and…

I guess it is obvious that you are at your goal weight? Did you have to lose a lot of weight 9 years ago?

That is excellent! How long did it take you to lose your 60 lbs.? I agree totally that by keeping track every day that you can nip it in the bud if you slip a few pounds. You are inspiring!

I think that if we share what smoothies we made and how many calories it has it will make things easier as we go along. Maybe there is a list somewhere of calories in Vitamix concoctions? If anyone needs help with exercise advice I would be happy to help you.
