Sorry this is late, and I actually don't have a weight to post as I am on a little vacattion down in Florida visiting some family. I am sure my wieght is the same if not a little more. I have gone on 2 short runs. Boy is it humid down here. I am used to the lack of humidity in CO. I will post my weight when I get back home. I need to find something that will workto help me lose some weight.

Hey Susan, just a big congrats on how well you have been doing with your weight loss! And thanks for joining in and sharing in this wonderful resource you have created for the womens cycling community!

A few people have asked me to post a picture, so here goes. This is me at 165-ish. Taken just after finishing a triathlon.

And this is a picture taken of me this weekend @ 141 pounds.

Now if that ain't inspiring, I don't know what is! You're beautiful in both, but sleek and beautiful in the second one!

Susan-

Thanks for sharing the photos - you are an inspiration. Though - I have to admit - it's hard to notice anything but your big grin in the tri photo

...what an inspiration to us all!

You are all very sweet.

Funny story - I spent 2 days shopping for that dress for an event I went to on Saturday evening. Say, 200-250 people, 1/2 of which were women. And wouldn't ya know, another woman showed up wearing the SAME dress!

Susan - You look GREAT!

You know, this past Fri night I came out of a sushi restaurant with my husband and saw a pickup with a big teamestrogen.com decal across the back, in the parking lot. I stopped and pointed at it and yelled "hey! I wonder if that's Susan's?!" My husband asked if I knew what you looked like and I replied - "not since she's lost so much weight!". Now I know...so if I do see you, I can say 'hi'.

(meanwhile, he's begging me to stop pointing in case the owner of the truck sees me and we look like fools!

We were IN the sushi restaurant! Hot Pot & Sushi, right? My girlfriend and I were grabbing a bite before going over to Macy's to shop.

I love that place. We should do a ride and have lunch afterwards!

(BTW I keep thinking I'm going to take the decal off the back. Once upon a time, that truck was new and spiffy. Now it's much older and dirtier, and probably does me an advertising DISservice!!

Holy cow...were you really? Wait - where were you sitting? I don't remember looking around much when we were in there. I was actually anxious to leave because I was worried about our pregnant goat.

That's so funny though! (I too, love that place!)

A ride and lunch would be awesome!!

I was sitting 3rd seat from the hallway that leads towards the restrooms. We were sort of hidden from most of the room - right in from of the sushi chef on the far left of the room.

After my last post, I decided that sushi twice in one week was just the thing I needed, so Jeff and I went again tonight!

Just got home. I don't usually eat out much, but I was having a craving (yes, it's THAT time...). I figure there are far worse things I could be craving than sushi, which, as it turns out, is actually relatively low in WW points. 2 pieces of nigiri sushi are just 1 point!

A pregnant goat... Huh. Hope THAT all turned out alright!! I actually know a goat farmer in Grand Ronde. She makes the BEST goat milk mac and cheese.

I'm going to ride Saturday, rain or shine. This time of year I don't get started until 10am or so, since it's too cold earlier. Probably do 35-40 miles. Wanna come? Might be 2-3 other gals along. Moderately paced. Even if we get a little spaced out, we ALWAYS group up again quickly.
