Alan, so sorry to hear of your mother-in-law's passing. My mother and my mother-in-law have passed recently, so I understand the difficult time. My heart goes out to you and your wife. Look forward to hearing from you upon your return.

Freebird, my DH had issues with knee pain when he would use the treadmill, back about 100 lbs. He switched to a stationary recumbent bike which is designed differently from an exercise bike, and instead takes the weight off the knees. It was a godsend!

You amaze me Simple Girl. Way to go!

Alan...great job this week. You are doing well! Simple Girl...well girl, you are just AWESOME! I remember in 2007, before my fall, visiting family, friends, and my co-workers my 55lbs loss. Gotta love those visits! Yes, the San Diego bike ride at midnight was really fun. They have another...

Simple Girl, I eat Breyer's Fat Free Ice Cream after dinner most nites...that's something I save my calories for!

Hey Trombone Al...interesting thread. Heading out again to cycle tomorrow morning without any of these interesting methods. Will have to consider something soon. Hopefully, I dont get chased down again.:(

Good idea SG. I had another suggestion from a friend. She suggested to take along a kids squirt gun filled with vinegar/water. What do you think about that suggestion?

Wow, I certainly cant get up to 30, but I think I got up to 15 in a quick sprint. I am in my first year of cycling and just a few months from recovering from a nasty back injury. So, my ability to sprint away is not ideal. But, I did give them a pretty good run. HA HA HA HA. Seriously...

Noords, Thank you for sharing your personal resolve to get healthier. Although everyone has their own "Aha" moment, those moments can be so motivating, not to mention life-changing! My DH and I had our "Aha" moment in the Fall of '06, allowing us to embark on our own get-healthy journey on...

Hey Al, I got a real kick from your trip journal to the San Juan Islands in Sept 2008...my DH and I were in stitches with your humorous tidbits and in awe of your ride up Mt. Constitution. What a feat! Thank you for sharing!
