    Lise- The avatar is a pic of my golden (when he was a puppy) and my (rather large) orange tabby cat. It was one of the few moments my dog sat still the entire first year of this life?!

    Running Mommy- You are right - it just took me a long time to realize it Maybe the weight loss will follow, who knows.

    I gave up on dieticians - the last one I went to looked at my food logs and told me there was nothing I could do better. Hmmm...don't know if that's good or bad, but certainly didn't help me make changes Hopefully you'll have better luck!

    I'm probably going looking for a new doc too - I've had a really hard time finding a GP (have a *great* obgyn) - at my appointment, he asked if I'd ever successfully lost weight. I mentioned an ill fated run on Atkins which did work, but made me feel really yucky and didn't allow for biking (no carbs doesn't work so well on a long ride). He said I should go back on it and limit the biking to what I felt like on the diet. Ummm....NO!!!
    Most days in life don't stand out, But life's about those days that will...

    Hahahahaha! I was all like "come on, Lise, can't you see that's her dog" but, um, I'd never noticed the cat was in there too. Heh.

    OK. Look at the puppy's head. Doesn't it look like there's a mirror image of his head to his right? To me, this looked like ET's face, for the longest time. I thought, I doubt her avatar is really ET. I didn't want to ask. I mean, what if it was ET? Then, one day, I saw "dog" for a few seconds. Saw the face. Saw the tail. Never saw the cat. Now I do!

    Hey, yeah! It does kinda look like there's another eye there.

    CA in NC- I am right there with ya! 5'4'' 205. Yuck. But I still ride. I am looking to do a centruy in July. I have a VERY hilly 51 mile ride in May and a weeklong tour of MI in June (my first tour). No day will be longer than 60 miles).

    Keep pedaling..stronger is better than thinner any day! I actually had a guy say to his skinny girl friends "the one thing I hate about summer is fat chicks...(then looking at me in bike shorts and a loose tee, she says)..."put some clothes on"! He was pretty overweight himself. I just kept riding and though, "I could get off this bike, crush you and then keep riding. He is lucky I had my chi on straight that day!!!!!!!"

    Sorry for the sort of high jack. I jsut want you ladies all to be proud that you are out there riding!!!
