Yup. Been there, doing that.

Went from 200+ lbs to 145, thanks to the bike and to training for my first triathlon ever.

Thanks to the wonderful women here on TE I got up the gumption to finally get out of a cruddy relationship. Thanks to TE I found a wonderful love. Thanks to TE I bought a gorgeous bike (from another TE'er) that changed my riding in so many ways. And I got a new job (thanks to two TE'ers) that has me over the moon with happiness.

This is a great bunch of women, and the support and knowlege and wisdom and comradery is miraculous.

(and biking keeps my hot flashes and mood swings down to a dull roar)
