    Hi Bonnie, welcome to TE!
    you apparently had the 'by fire' type of baptism. I haven't gone clipless. Stories like yours scare me.

    Your experiences sound like something we all need to hear, so jump in
    and join the fun!

    welcome bonnie! glad you decided to join in instead of "lurking". its so much more fun joining in on the fun.

    congrats on your weightloss and good luck with your goal weight.

    sorry to hear about the crash in the kitchen, but look on the bright side, your first fall wasn't infront of a ton of people.

    See, THIS is why I love TE! Awesome, Bonnie -- way to keep at it. I think people can now learn from YOU in how to persevere through the "breaking in" pains. Always keep it fun!

    Happy Roads to ya!
