I haven't updated in forever! So here's the lowdown: I moved to North Carolina, got a job waitressing, and I took my bike apart to clean it but haven't figured out how to put it back together again...

Hi, thanks ladies. The psi is something loke 45-80 (I am awful with numbers, please bear with me... I thought 702 was 501 the other day). The pump is fine-- initially I thought that was the problem...

Checking in.

My doctor and nutritionist agreed that I had to stop counting numbers. No more measuring inch loss and portions, no more calorie counting, no more logging miles or minutes, and no...

Well again, I cannot and therefore will not be swimming. I am biking, walking, and strength training. Not swimming.

We do not have a pool, the community does not have a pool, and the ocean is two hours away. I dont think my tub is large enough to swim in, either.

Checking in.
My weight seems to have stuck at 180, which is beyond frustrating since at my height I'm supposed to be 110-120, but everyone has commented that I look thinner. So that's something. I...

Oooh, this. I'm usually chased by two to three dogs at a time of varying sizes. I don't bother slowing down, either! If it was just one dog, I'd feel alright putting the bike between me and it, but...

There aren't any mechanized fitting machines or anything like that in my area. Maybe if I drove to Tallahassee, I could find one... I'll look around on the web. But what are the fitting machines...

Thanks, guys. I'm benched again.
Riding my bike has made my back flare up really horribly again. I don't know what's causing it. I stretch, I hydrate, I eat... I'm going to try raising the...

After losing 21# I lost my job and my car, which sent me into a bout of inactivity and toward a big ol' pint of icecream. :( Yay, depression won again. I gained back several pounds and...

Parroting the weight training advice! When I lost a lot of weight all at once (27lbs in two months), I started looking like a crumpled plastic bag. But hitting the gym for those machines and to lift...

It looks like everyone is going for some form of carb or protein...
I get by really well on carrot sticks and water, but I'm also kind of a riding newbie.

I've been approached by other cyclists wanting to ride in groups. I happily signed up, even though we were of differing cycling classes; I ride a WalMart bike and don't have any lycra outfits or...

Yep! Sorry for the lack of replies. I've been job hunting and catching up with some friends who popped in from out-of-country to visit.
The "no locks" law is my dad's, and he has some solid reasons...

I know it is, but no, I didn't. I've been through so much SH that I've stopped caring by this point, to be honest, and I'm noy bothered when people chastise me for my apathy anymore, either. It just...

I am an adult "child" (22) that had to move back home for economic reasons. My mother still treats me like I'm a young child, and doesn't respect me at all.

Whenever I use the bathroom, my mom...

I've hit the -15# mark! Whoo!

What's the one bit of maintenance that just frustrates you to no end? For me, it's changing tubes! I find everything else rather therapeutic, but that tube changing just makes me want to say some...

Yep : )

Yesterday's training about killed me orz 1mi run, leg curls, leg extensions, and squats until failure.... But when I woke up this morning and weighed myself at the usual time, I found I've dropped...

THIS :D I'm not obsessed with numbers, only thst I become healthy again. Numbers do play a part to a certain extent, but not up to the levels some self-conscious ladies take it to...

Bras are important, but I haven't got the money to buy a single pair for every 10# lost, let alone three pair. And if I lost 11# since, I can't imagine how frequently I'd need to buy bras. They...

Checking in! Haven't gone for the new bra yet (should always be done once you hit your goal weight, so....), but I've dropped 11#! Woohoo! Was a bit inactive this week thanks to a nasty virus going...

I havent transitioned to paleo yet, but my diet is mostly salad, grilled fish, and grilled chicken, all from local farms and fishermen. And the occasional brownie. Oops. Haven't gone for a new bra...

I don't think I've been able to sleep on my tummy since I hit puberty lol I'll think about it. If I shed the weight and these big ol' things are still hanging around, I'll start making calls and pick...
