Ok...here's my update.
5'3", 64 year old female who has gained 7 pounds over the winter


I've lost a couple already and I'm sure the remainder will go just as soon
as I can get back on the bike. The weather has turned cold again and there
will be no biking this weekend. Today was the first bike ride of the season
for the park's "Bike for the Health of It" program. It was 24F, with 15mph
winds and snow and ice on the trails. We had a few people show up but
called the ride off due to trail conditions. We determined it would be
safer to walk across the parking lot to the restaurant for breakfast


OK. I'll bite.

I'm 54 years old and semi-retired. (Or is it "unemployed"?) It's been
snowing here in southern Ontario for several days. The temperature is
hovering around freezing. For three weeks it's been too muddy to take
the dogs for a walk. I need to go to Sears and get myself an exercise
bike, I think.

I'm 5'4", 153 lbs, and would like to weigh 140. But 153 isn't too bad.
I alternate between reading diet newsgroups and rec.food.cooking. (I
need to read the diet newsgroups or else rec.food.cooking would
prevail, and lord knows what I'd be eating. )

That's it.

Jo Anne


I'm in Toronto and have two dogs. We were walking a lot before the
cold spell returned but it can't go on forever. I am in my seventh
year of keeping my weight off. I am 5.5 and weigh 140. Since I am in
my seventites losing more will make me look tired and drawn. I m
currently tied for first place as the most fit adult in our family.

I'm not sure in all my years hanging out at ASD that I've seen the
traffic level this low...

What can we do to liven things up around here?

Have Caleb espouse the wonders of his 100 day diet?

Have Mu give whip us into shape?

Get Chung to give us nutrition and spiritual advice?

Or can we all check in and give an update as to where we are in terms of
our goals--whatever our goals may be?


Shut Up! don't bring the idoits out. :-)

I'm here.. just don't have much time to post. Weather is beautiful
around here this time of year, so I spend as many hours enjoying the
outdoors as possible. And, somewhat to what cubit said about usenet
dieing... its not so much that as to not having access in all my locations
any longer. In the old days if you have a service, you could access it
from anywhere, but with all the spam issues out there, many ISPs that do
offer usenet services limit it to people on their networks only. So,
therefore my comcast service is only available when I'm on the comcast
network (at home) so I can't access it when I'm at work or travelling. I
find that I only get onto usenet when I'm at home, but I've come to a point
in life where my evenings are so filled with other activities I just don't
have time to check in but a couple times a week.

As for an update on me... after gaining 15lbs over the last year or so, and
struggling to get back on track the scale is FINALLY budging in a downward
trend. I still have 10lbs to go before I'm back in my comfort zone. I
let the stress of work get to me, and since the beginning of 2007 I've vowed
to take the time for exercise. It is finally working.

Sadly, I think USENET is dying.

Some ISPs no longer provide servers....


Not a chance. Support diet groups are dying, good chance.

OK, let me blow my own trumpet, French horn, and tuba:


Weight:
Starting weight: 385, January 2006
Current weight: 249, April 7, 2007
Total loss 136 pounds
Goal weight: 201, September 30, 2007
Total projected loss 184 pounds


Scoliosis:
Forward head posture before physical therapy: 5.5 inches.
Forward head posture after 60 days of physical therapy: 2.5 inches
Still working on remaining problems: knocked right knee, knocked left
knee with only a partial extension, uneven shoulders, etc. Emphasis
was on teaching me proper exercise form, stretches and exercises to
bring stability to the upper back muscles, and build my core for
bicycling.


Bicycling:
Numbers of miles ridden in November 2006: none - I didn't have a bike,
and didn't know how to ride.
Number of miles ridden in December 2006: 1.5
Number of miles ridden in March 2007: 155
Fastest speed: 14.4 MPH on a flat trail, 26.5 MPH on the downhill.
Number of falls since going clipless two days ago: none, five near-
falls, however.
Number of modifications to the bike to have it fit me: three - raised
handlebars, new saddle, new seatpost.

You're doing great in all areas! It's good to see the physical therapy is
making improvements.

I'm doing great in all areas aside from winning friends in the Bicycle
Club of Philadelphia. I was mistreated on an "instructional" ride this
Sunday - dropped by the instructor in a strange part of town - and my
complaining about it hasn't gone down well with some. Read my blog for
the details.

I read that and I would be madder than hell if that happened to me. I
can't imagine a ride leader dropping someone on an instructional
ride. The park's "Bike for the Health of It" program could probably
be classified as an instructional ride and we wouldn't dream of
leaving someone. We have a leader and someone riding sweep to insure
no one gets lost.

Unfortunately in some cycling clubs you have those who don't remember
that they too were once a beginner Hang in there! There are just
as many people who do remember and I'm sure you'll find them.

I just arrived back on the scene but recall a member named Betsy from
years ago who posted as "Determined." Is this the same person?
"Determined" came in for a lot of cristicsm back then.

Bev, how are you doing? I see that smiley at the end of your post. Don't
try to get on my good side, you know, I don't have one

Yep, if I remember, thank you for jogging an addled memory, it was "Itsy
Bitsy Betsy determined".
