Hey guys (gals I mean) THANKS THANKS THANKS for the info and support. I am so looking forward to talking to all of you. I looked at the "getting to know you" and have bookmarked a ton of sites from those posts. I hope to get photos up soon!

Yes, if I lose half my weight my hubby would lose his mind!! I do hope to do it, healthily of course. I lost 90 lbs in 2001 (pre accident) and went from 321 lbs and couldn't walk a block nor climb stairs more than once a day to being able to power walk three miles and feeling terrific!

I know I want to become addicted to biking!! I know there's a skinny athletic 62 year old beauty inside this aging, overweight body. I don't want to hurt anymore, fibromyalgia is killing my life and if I can drop 150 lbs in the next two years, I'd be amazing again.

Thanks for all the supportive comments!

Loving you and eager to ride, Melinda
