Talking Just Checking In
Its been a while since I posted and the weight loss has slowed down quite a bit, but the toning and loss of inches is on the rise. I need to figure out how to get my photos in here because it is amazing.

People at work have really been stopping me in the hall, saying how wonderful I look. Boy, I know I do. I feel great too.

I just bought a bike over the weekend and went on my first bike ride. I used to ride 20-30 miles a day during college and was able to get about a 7 mile bike ride in on Saturday. Boy is my butt killing me though. Got to break it in.

I have to say, things are going great. I run, walk, hike, bike, lift weights, do yoga and lots of yard work now. I feel like I did before I got married in 1996.

I use FitnessJournal.org to log my food and exercise. It amazes me each day to look at my progress and how much I do. My TIVO is almost full because I don't watch TV any more. I watch my videos while I walk on treadmill now and can do half a movie at a time. I love it.

I can't wait until the weather warms up, there will be no stopping me.

My next big milestone is 250, which is my pre-marriage weight. It will officially be the end of my ex-husband's control over me and what a milestone that will be.

Take care and good luck to all of you.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

You're amazing and an inspiration to me. Hooray on all the excercise. I think you're running circles around me in that regard. I'm also looking forward to the warmer weather. I talked to my hubby yesterday about getting my bike tuned up and putting the bike trailer on the back to pull the kids in. Now won't THAT be a good workout?? LOL

Peanut and I have been talking about getting our bikes out this year. I bought her a tricycle last year and she was always too pooped to use it. This year I'll be the limiting factor. "Look, Ma, one hand!!"

What an inspiration you are. Congratulation girl. You deserve that and so much more. I too can not wait until the weather warms up. You so make me want to purchase a bike. When I was young I used to bike or rollerskate everywhere I went. Now me rollerskating again wouldn't that be hilarious. Thanks for the inspiration.

Awee bless your heart. I loved reading your story. BTW..... the butt thing and the bike might not just be your bike. Alot of us had trouble with our tail bones hurting when we started to lose the cushion that was there. LOL. Im 18 months out and went through another bout and it lasted a couple weeks. You have every reason to be proud. Just go to user CP and it will have everything you want to do and its pretty self explanatory. If not somone who is very gifted about these things will help you. Present company ( myself) not included. LOL Take care!
