One of the motivating factors in "getting out there" is that I want to appreciate the life that I am living. I suspect that some of you feel the same. If you do then I invite you to post a short story here to inspire us all. In the end its not just about calories, its about life. I think that changing our lives is based in…

For those of you who don't already know - you probably do - you can use MapMyRide.com to figure out where you are going and how to get there and then share it with other riders. It is a great tool. I have used it with my team and they are able to learn the route with me. The one glitch that I have found is that it really…

You go girl! You are awesome!

I am so very impressed by you all! Wow, it makes me want to just ride and ride! I was able to get in 10 miles this morning with a friend. I really wanted to do more but I have to be on call today and tomorrow. When I come off call on Wednesday I think I will have to crank out a biggy. :glasses: Created by MyFitnessPal.com…

Ahh, the idea of reciprocity. To do unto others as (in the same way) you would have them do unto you. Is a profound statement that on the face of it may look as if it is setting a person up to be a doormat. It then begs a further question. If you were doing something wrong wouldn't you want to be corrected in some gentle…

I think what I "hear" in your post are three things. 1. I don't have time. 2. This is painful to me. 3. I am not sure I will get a good result. All three of these things are tied together. If you are not sure you will get a good outcome and result then perhaps it might not be worth the time and the discomfort. My friend,…

I am in, right now I am doing between 50 and 80 miles a week but I want to bump that up to 100. I did 16 miles this morning between 630 and 8 and felt like it didn't take anything out of my day at all. I have a few friends who ride with me now and it is getting to be funner and funner-er. :laugh: Perhaps this will really…

Thanks so much cp005e. I appreciate your advice and will take it. I noticed that deficit right away and it took its toll on my performance. Now that we have 100 degree heat here in SC I really will have to be careful. I will bump up to 1200 or a smiggen more on these rides.

Go Shorerider, GO! I look forward to hearing about the ride.

I need to try to make this, it sounds really great. ¨What do you like on your salad?¨ ¨Pie¨ - Drew Carey Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

I would ask your doc about how he or she feels about you moving some major muscle groups around to get some tone and good feelings even better. My niece has had very similar surgeries and is now doing so very well. I just know you are going to do fabulous. :smile:

Boy howdy, me too. I think I am just eating too much. I am burning many more calories than before by cycling 10 to 20 miles a day, around 60 miles a week. I feel better and I think my belly seems smaller but I haven´t lost a pound in a week! Yikes! :sad: Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

I know you can do it. My weight loss efforts have founded a cycling club. When I first started over 2 years ago I could not ride around the block without feeling the effort. Now, I am down to 237 and I have learned so very much. After a year of sporatic riding I was able to do 50 and then 75 a day. You might want to look…

I would like to join. Please? I have been a member for only a few days and yet this program has helped me to change the way I look at food. Especially since I have to record everything. It also holds me accountable to exercise enough to eat something. Yesterday was the first time that my caloric intake was lower than my…

OK, this is risky but I haven't thought about his at all. Nada. Actually, I am not sure that I have never thought about it or that it has just been so very long that its the same as if I never thought of it. Now that I try to think about it I'm must admit I am clueless. Alas. I will have to settle for a great personality.…

That is really super! You go! :happy:

Wow, thank you so very much for writing! Its nice to know that there are people like you out there who get it. It feels great to have some encouragement. When I opened this page tonight and saw the posts I was moved. This is great, thanks again! You are awesome!

Thanks so much for writing, its nice to meet you. I had no idea that people actually might read what I write and care enough to post. That is so very nice! I see you have lost a good bit, that is so fantastic! You go!

Wow, another cyclist. I have been cycling in the USA for about a year on a road bike. I really have found a home on my bike. Thanks for saying "hi." What is RAGBRA?

I can only imagine the pain! I feel so bad for you. Did the doc give you pain meds and were you able to get them filled? Please take care of yourself and get well soon! :smile:

I am glad to find this site and I hope to find some friendship here as I lose my old friend "belly fat" and gluttony. If you like to ride a bicycle give me a shout! Chuck
