So I completed my first 50 miler!

Nice! Congratulations on the ride. I just did my first 50 last weekend too. I am very impressed that you did 50 after a prior longest ride of 18. Heck, maybe we can do metric centuries!

I bet the cycling helps you maintain your weight loss.

Congratulations! Feels great, doesn't it? After this, you'll just keep going further and further...

Oh how exciting! I, too, have lost almost half my body weight. Went from 248 to 132 lbs. with diet and exercise (Weight Watchers), although I embrace the gym. Nice job and keep up the good work.

I will do and thanks

Steady on now my riding partner has convinced me (must have been in my moment of ecstaticness) of doing the C2C ride next year which is 200 miles in 2 days.

So far from the cycling im not losing anymore weight but gaining some rather nice legs and butt instead so I am happy with that!

Congratulations! Feels great, doesn't it? After this, you'll just keep going further and further...

Well I hope so it has certainly given me the taste for it

Congratulations Missy and Velocivixen on losing half your bodyweight! Wow!

Congrats, also, on the 50 mile ride. I went 55 miles 2 weeks ago, just for pleasure, not a race, with my friend and I literally thought I was gonna die the last 5 miles. There was a bathroom at the end, and I really needed to go, but I said "no, I'm not getting off this bike, because I won't get back on it".

Good job! I see a century in your future!

Congratulations! Being a newbie, I can't imagine ever riding 50 miles. As is, I struggled with 12! Congrats on a great accomplishment

Congratulations, incidentally a metric century is only another 16 miles.

But seriously, time for you to check out woman tours cross country bike journeys. They are fantastic beyond belief and the average mileage is 60-80 miles per day. Mommy camp with bicycle touring. What could be better?

I am working up to 50 miles 3 x a week in preparation for one in May 2012.

Carry one with your good work and congrats to you again.

It feels so amazing, doesn't it, to accomplish something like that!!!

Wow - you women who have lost so much weight are an inspiration, too - I started riding after knee surgery earlier this year, and I've lost 10 pounds just from being more active - yay!

I hit my personal best last weekend during the High Sierra Fall Century - my husband and I rode the "short course" which is 48 miles! I am so excited - I want to get a road bike and ride a century now!! (well, maybe not this weekend - haha, but someday - now I know I can do it. Amazing.

Ha ha I know what you mean I kept saying to myself "no matter what I am NOT getting off this bike"

Good job! I see a century in your future!

I reckon so, I like challenges so definately will be doing more now!

Thats what I said 2 months ago but I did it (even though i do think it was more grit and determination than physical powers)

I like the sound of the metric one next. Then who knows. I will keep cycling as I am starting to really enjoy it

Thats awesome my partner is recovering from a knee injury just now too and hopefully she will still be able to cycle and do the next one with me (after all it was her that got me into it in the first place)
