You can't touch this !! (you're married)
rotfl, have you seen her?
man i soo want this cycle computer but over here it costs $600 NZD, amazon have it for like $350NZD or less but they wont ship it here *grr* this is frustrating, and i just cant justify paying out $600 when i can get it for nearly half the price.
I wonder if they ship to switzerland where my sister lives .... :/

Hi Wishes, I love the pics of you on the bike, GO WISHES!! And what a funny avatar, I saw him in person on a naval base in CA YEARS ago, when he first came out, he was from the Bay Area. Boy do I feel old now. I can't believe how much weight you have lost, you look so great! I need to go way back in your diary and read up on how you got where your at now. I'm sure it's was lots of discipline and will. Your awesome, and GREAT JOB!

Its not a matter of the look, its comfort - you wear the proper gear or you suffer. Oh and for the record, cyclists do not wear underwear nwith the padded shorts .. the idea is to have no seams. The padding is special antiseptic and draws sweat away from the body so you dont chaf (i dont mean the cheap padded shorts, im talking the proper $50-100 cycling shorts).
Yeah, currently im looking at a 200km race in october ... thats about 80ish mi i think (guessing the conversion) but i suspect with the operation its probably not on the books for this year.Ya looked very professional in the race
awww he was classic man, but vanilla ice did better dancing *G*
At least back then guys did dance!
TGIF! i finally just gave in and ordered the $600 cycle computer. even if i got the one off amazon.com i wouldnt have the proper power adapter and it would take forever to get here ... more hassle than its worth.
well it's a little gross but it's part of you so nope -post 'em...

yeah i figured it was kinda gross but with warning, a lot of people have asked who are beginning their hourney.

Hi Wishes
I found out last month my dad is going to need a kidney transplant. I knew right away I'd have to give him mine. Anyways, I found myself thinking about you and how your loosing weight for the same reason (different relative..its your brother, right?) Anyways just wanted to mention it to you. When are you supposed to have your surgery done, or do you know yet??
As far as the pics are concerned, i'd be interested in seeing them. Maybe you could post your total weight loss w/ the pics.
Speaking of weight loss...wtg on the 3 pds! must feel great!!

Oh wow, scarey eh. But as i said, i feel guilty when people glorify it as if its something special, its just something you do for your family without thinking twice.Hi Wishes

Have you been tested or anything yet? is your BMI under 30 or whatever they require over there?
Oh yeah the 3lb gone is AWESOME!

oookay just went and spent like 4 hours shopping (window shopping mostly lol).
Me and my daughter looked at clothes, and we found a hole-in-the-wall shop that had pretty good stuff cheapish. Anyway i yanked out a pair of 3/4 camo pants (i sooo want some but wont buy till i get down more!), i immediatly grred because i could see they were clearly a size 14 .. but asian sizes (i hate how the asian size 14 is a size 10-12 anywhere else!).
Anyway i asked the lady 'Are these asian sizeing? they look smaller than normal .. and if they are whats an nz 14 size .. 16? 18?"
she replied 'no no they are really NZ sizing, they fit normal size 14 people' to which i was rolling my eyes thinking 'oh yeah, normal asian 14s?'
Anyway rather than get into an argument i figured id just take a the size 14 and a size 18 (they had no 16).
So i got into the changing room, lo and behold, the damned 14 fit me .... i walked out and she says 'oh look, see they fit fine!'
I guess i have some kind of body dismorphia thinking im bigger than i am because i just CANT imagine me fitting into these things heh.
Anyway, go one better, i noticed they were a little loose in the waist ... i mentioned it and she grabbed a size 12 ... AND THEY FIT!!!
HOLY MOLY!
no i didnt buy them, but i was tempted lol. Must try some other size 12s and see if they fit. My goal pants that are size 12 dont fit yet - i can get them on but cant do up the zipper lol - to much skin :/ On the other hand i suspect they are a small size 12 .. more like a 10 (they were given to me by my underweight looking friend)
A size 12 NZ is about a size 8 US.

Size 12!!! Wooohooo!! Way to go! I also hate it when different manufacturers
clothing sizes aren't the same as others. I've found it's a touchy subject during weight loss.
