The blue hair was my fav <3

Girl, I got mad respect for your cycling skills. You're advanced and what great shape you must be in. My flat trail rides ain't jack compared to what you do and I already know I'll never be what you are on two wheels.

I almost went blue again just recently too heh :D
As for the cycling skills, i might have a high heart rate and do long distance, but im barely sticking to 24km/ph which is on the low end. this is why i thought i outta be trying harder and got the new cycling computer dodakkie :D

I still may opt for the blue in the near future :)

HI Wishes *waves*

I have to tell ya, your doing such a great thing for your kids!! My kids are so thin and healthy, but I don't reallly encourage excersize like I should. Good for you! It inspires me to be more of a motivator for my kids!

Oh thanks :)
Good to see you here! Its hard not to try teaching the kids some of the stuff ive learnt about bad habits and eating. In fact the kids are really getting into it. Today we went to BK and me and my oldest daughter went halfs in a whopper. No complaints at all - it was way to big for both of us and we both know it now!
Also mid afternoon my oldest daughter got the munchies and was hungry, she knew she couldnt eat ice cream because she had already eaten enough food for the day (she had french toast earlier) and so cooked herself and her friend up a massive vege stir fry which apparently turned out fantastic :)

WOW Wishes.. you never cease to amaze!

Me? what did i do? :O

The hard thing im having is sleeping in past 6am these days.
So used to the early mornings from working, when it comes to the weekend i get up that early and lay there bored. so i end up going cycling for a couple hours till the others get up :)


Another thing im battling is my lack if interest in this particular forum. Im not fat anymore, i dont feel fat, i know technically i am, but im not who i used to be.
Ive been spending more time talking on cycling forums (hah funnily enough) and found a huge amount of local yokels who cycle also. Its great talking about positive stuff on forums than listening to people moaning about something they ate or did that was bad.
No offence to anyone, that kinda thing did affect me totally, but its not a problem for me anymore, and i guess not really a major interest.
Ill still overeat at times, and still battle with things, but its not going to kill me or stress me, i know i can beat it easy.

Anyway im not leaving, this isnt about that, im just saying that my interests and myself has changed slowley over time, more so recently i guess.
Just explaining a little i guess so you understand. I guess working so much and never having the time doesnt help lol.

anyway, i love yall, my face is better, just peeling like a bad sunburn :D
 
Hi wishes. It is great to know you passed the medical for the kidney donation. I loved the scales story!! :D

Also, in general it is great to know that you have reached a point in all this where you are feeling that you're normal. That's fantastic!!

I'm glad the allergy thing, whatever it was, has settled down. It sounded horrific.

What's the next step for you now with the kidney donation?

I think the idea of these forums is similar to the purpose of a good teacher, to make him/her/itself unnecessary. When you've learned enough to cope on your own, you don't need it anymore. And, again like to a good teacher, you can always return when you feel the need. :)

I can understand why you don't feel the need for this forum so much anymore and how a cycling one would be of better use to you. To me it's still sad, lol. But that's ok! Hopefully everyone on this forum will reach that point to because that is the goal!
 
Hey Wishes; it's great you've found a crowd you can identify with...the cyclists. I think that's the ticket for a forum meeting our needs, whether or not we can identify with the posters. And if your focus is more on exercise, and the food intake isn't as huge a deal for you, I can understand your needs getting met in another forum. I will still be popping in your diary on a regular basis, because I enjoy seeing how great you're doing and how pumped you are about exercise. Have a great Sunday.
 
The progress you've made is amazing.
I'm glad that cycling works for you.

If only my bike weren't messed up, I would try...
Probably early in the morning or later in the evening, though. Hm.

I sure hope that you guys get to that point also. I mean i knew i was gonna get to the goal, it wasnt like i was gonna fail. Its just now that my major goal if weight loss is past and im definatly up to donating the kidney the weight loss is less important and it will come off in its own time.
I went hard and fast to get to my first goal which was a very large amount of loss, now i have 50lb or less to go, and it doesnt even compare in importance.

You put muscle on all over when biking, more buttocks and thighs than calves, but you put it on everywhere from arms, shoulders, stomach, everywhere.



Okay - wtf? i got my monthly Auntie flow - hang on im SURE thats not due! arg im gonna have to go back over my diary to find out when i had it last :/
 
Wishes, whenever i see your diary, it makes me realize that i dont have an impossible goal to reach. It really is something i can do. Im so amazed at what you have done to improve your life and therefore the lives of your family.
:) Michelle
 
I can understand how 50 lbs or less would seem of less importance compared to this first huge chunk of weight you lost. I'm glad you were able to lose the amount for the kidney surgery (at a good pace) and I know you'll lose the rest :)
 
Hey wishes, geez, where ya been lately? I haven't heard from you in months!

lol... I thought I'd drop in and say hi... I'm back for that much needed support. I've been bad :(

I see you've been doing well, congrats on your progress so far!
 
Wishes I have always been impressed with your progress and your cycling! I am glad that you are in a place where you interests have shifted from obsessing about "bad days" and has become your passion with cycling! I am very excited for you and love reading your achievements! You have done so well and there is so much to be proud of!! Glad your not leaving us forever yet;) lol Have a wonderful Sunday!
 
I've been thinking more and more about saving up to get a bike...haven't ridden one since jr. high, but I think I remember how. :rolleyes: Not sure if I can afford it yet, but I think it would be a good investment.
 
Hey Wishes, congrats on passing the exam for the kindey. I was worried the BMI would stop you even though you're probably much fitter than the doctor who examined you.
 
What an awesome christmas gift to give... :) congratulations on all your hard work and now for being such a good influence on your kids and encouraging them to move too...
 
Oh hey again *blinks bleary eyed*

work has been hell - ive barely had time to think and most of the time i do have time to think i have a hell headache from working so hard lol.
We have a long weekend this weekend and ill probably work through it just to catch up.

On another note. the 12th June 2006 is when i started my incredible journey. Almost a year ago i started loosing weight.

Wow - a year ago i would have never thought id be here. Seriously. On the other hand i wish i had been at my goal within a year also - though to be honest that would really be pushing it :)
probably unhealthily pushing it !

So yeah, this thread is nearly a year old, ive been on the forum almost a year, and a year ago i wore size 26.
This year on the 1 year aniversary im gonna go shopping. Im gonna go buying some clothes.
Im gonna go out to dinner, and im gonna celebrate getting my life back. Its mind blowing what you can do in a year ... so what am i doing next year? making my first million? or becoming Tour De France winner? :)

Time to update the ticker (been neglected lately lol)
