Hi. Been off-line for a week. End of May weight 152.9 Been for a ride since then though. Ever hopeful for this Fridays weigh-in.

Hi there ... (waves)

Any chance I can join in for the remaining few weeks?

After a couple of months of enforced lethargitude, I'm ready to get rolling again. Well, slowly, and with the stoopid back brace still my constant companion for perhaps another month.

I won't be road riding again until well after I get the brace off, but I'm doing short bits of time on the trainer.

And my physical therapist has me doing lots of exercises for my right arm and shoulder. Who knows, my arms might be stronger than before when all is said and done. Not that that's saying an awful lot.

Anyhow, I've also been using the "I can eat this cuz I'm healing" excuse early and often, so naturally I've gained a few pounds in the interim. Eh, not as bad as it could have been, I suppose.

I took the plunge and joined Weight Watchers online (got a slightly reduced rate through my insurance so I figured why not).

Starting weight is back up to 160. grrr. Goal weight for the end of June is 155. Small steps, grasshopper.

You'll get back in the groove Jo.

JObob...

I'm right with you... I have a little of surgery weight that I"m trying to get over.... but after all the crap (sorry) that I went through, I am much stronger and could never go on a 2hour ride if I wanted to before. You will be great! keep up the hard work!!!! It truely pays off. I also recently joined WW online and I love it. I"ve lost 4 pounds this past month.... I feel as though it's slow sometimes, but ya know what?!?! It's been staying off and that's a lifestyle change, which is what's it's all about. I'm at your same weight... usually between 158-160... trying to get down to 145 overall.....

You can do it!!! I have faith in you!!!! We are all here if you need us...

PS... it's been a while, but it's 158.2

Oops. Up to 66.1kg again this week. I guess the four day holiday that stopped me weighing in last Friday didn't do me so much good...
