Hi Wishes! When is the big bike race? How is the riding going? I can't wait to get out on my bike...haven't been since the fall I think...


And donating a kindey...that takes an amazing person my dear.

Ahh languages re all the same, the rest is just syntax
Not sure i deserve the whole oprah thing though, seriously. There are other people on this board who are just as determined and lost just as much weight etc.

Bike ride is on May 5th 8.30am. Im guessing it will probably take about 4-5 hours. If i can sustain 30km an hour 3 hours which is what im hopeing, but im guessing ill tire and be only able to sustain 25km an hour towards the end.

We'll see anyway

her couch got a lot of press when tom cruise hopped over it in some sort of seizure like event...

Jerry springer would be way more low brow and more my style - though Oprah does have her diet of the week so if we hit it right - it could work with her theme

That is so cool that you hit your goal... your brother must be doing backflips...

Oh yeah i saw that clip, they made a big deal about it that he jumped up and down like a maniac or some shit. i watched the clip and all he did was stand up, i mean big deal, my kids do more than that when on their BEST behavior!
Anyway, im only going on her couch if Mal, M2M, T2, etc etc all come too

My brother seems to be happy which is cool

Well i talked my old Cycling buddy into doing this 90km race with me on the 5th May. Hes not the most motivated cyclist at the best of times, in fact unless i go kick him out of bed he doesnt go at all!

Anyway, i said im not gonna nag him or anything, im just told him i was gonna whip his ass in this race

Yesterday as i was leaving my office my Boss says "Dont fucken bring your bike into the work place, leave it in the garage downstairs" Referring to the underground carpark below the office, normally i wouldnt give a hoot except for the fact that my bike cost me $3k (marked down from 4k) and a workmates car was ripped off from that garage less than a week ago. Grrr!

Anyway, i couldnt ride into work today like i did yesterday due to sucky weather. I hate riding in rain :O I sure hope its good weather when i do the 90km race!

Well that really sucks if you can't bring your bike in...if that's the case you may be better off getting a used bike to ride into work...I can't imagine getting one of my bikes ripped off. I would be pissssssed.

Husband works in the office next door, he said that i could put it in his building.
The other alternative is to just work it out i the gym i suppose. Also after hours.

Oh now, HOW cool would that be???
T2 and I have joked about rounding up a WLF contingency for Oprah before. Weightloss Support Groups of People Who've Never Met

We could be STARS

I would be very, very pissed about not having a safe location for your bike, good thing your husband works close!

Oh yeah, that would be TOTALLY cool if we could all meet up sometime and hang out for a week.
Maybe we should have a 5 year reunion type thing in 5 years, that way we will have time to save

As for the Oprah thing - would fantastic and awesome, but seriously the forum would go to ruin from all the new users lol.

If Oprah holds the show in Vegas, I'm in. I seen enough Chicago to last me a lifetime thank you very much.

Yeah the Oprah thing would be way over the top cool

If its any consolation i plan to be doing a magazine spread once ive donated the kidney.
Not so much for the glory of weight loss (though im sure ill give mention to you guys) but to highlight the need for more kidney donors.

HI Wishes!! Sorry your boss is giving you a rash about your bike. I'm glad your husband can store it at his workplace though. I'm thinking of getting a bike now that the weather is better......

Howdy Wishes,
Pain in the butt BOSS atleast you have a place to put your bike but your boss could have been nice and let you store it there I am sure there is somehwhere, where it wouldn't be in the way.Goodluck on getting your buddy to do the race with ya that woild be fun.Have a nice day Tammy

sounds like you're going for it! sooo much excersise!! makes me feel puffed out thinking about it! x

Im making a pact with myself here. Im a meat eat primarily. Im not much into veges and fruit a lot. So im gonna try and eat at least 2 cups of fruit and/or veges a day excluding potatos.

I started today by having a massive salad today made with 3 cups lettuce, 1 cup tomatoes and half a cup of carrot with 100gms of chicken bacon sprinkled through it for flavour. Took me a while to eat it but it was filling and tasted ok.

Just dropping in to see what's up. Looks like I missed some interesting conversation about Oprah. Somebody ought to tell her about us.
