Update

It's been a while since I've been on the board. I had my surgery on 06/20/07. Prior to the procedure I had lost 30 Lbs and since then another 55 for a total of 85bs. I can eat most things but find that I am having a little trouble with steaks and a few other beef products. I'm hoping that this problem will will disappear. I rode my bike for the first time in two years on Saturday and after two miles  I couldn't believe how much more energy I had. All in all I couldn't be happier with my journey so far. Only another 80 Lbs to go. Dave

CONGRADUALTIONS  getting back on your bike is quite a big deal.....and here is to the continuation of your happy journey  !!!!! Sean

Cycling is the best. Soon you'll be plowing over all those hills in Coon Rapids. I grew up in Iowa so winters are brutal so cycling is nearly impossible. Spinning classes are a great substitute for outdoor cycling and in many ways are a better conditioning tool than the real thing. Best of luck, Dave and congrats.

Hang in there... The Beef business gets easier the further out you are. Great exercise with the whole biking Thang! Keep it Up! Best Wishes- Dx
