    Re: Melonhead

    Well done on conquering the bike!  If you are planning on doing a lot of night riding you might think about getting one of those reflective vests just to increase your safety.  I know you are thinking that being semi-invisible while riding is a good thing at the moment, but I think that your overall safety is more important than any embarrassment you may be feeling - and it would be good for the cars to have some idea that someone was on the road.

    Take care,

    Harri

    Re: Melonhead

    Another kilo gone YAY. i wont put it down on my ticker yet or scales page coz i officially weigh in on mondays. i have lost enuff weight now to get into the fat jeans i bought to replace the fat jeans i ripped but my butt was way to big for my new fat pants when i got home. so now they are officially my not so fat fat pants.

    now about the bike riding. when riding up hill my lungs burn. is this from being so unfit. they dont burn when i do step aerobics(which i am able to do now yay knees) or when i walk so fast i think i will pass out. just up hills on a bike(which isnt much, i mean a small bump seems like a hill to me right now).

    anyone know any good lung excersises or maybe im gasping too much at once. i always think people in their back yards must be baffled when i ride past on the bike track panting like a maniac as if i am running a marrathon. if they saw how slow i was going they was crack up laughing lol.

    check me out, im wearin my not so fat pants man :) hugs to ya'all

    Re: Melonhead

    Congrats on your weight loss - how fantastic!  I think that your legs burn when going up the hill due to lactic acid build up - its not from being unfit, even the most elite sportspeople get lactic acid buildup when they race.  Something about the muscles working hard - which they would if they are going up are hill - and the muscles cannot use oxygen to produce the energy so the system is anaerobic and lactic acid is a byproduct of this.  I could be wrong - Ray will probably say I'm way off the mark!

    And the only real good lung exercise I know is swimming.  Maybe yoga?  Be careful you don't breathe too fast when you ride or you might hyperventaliate.  Anyway, great work with the bike riding and enjoy the moment of fitting into your jeans!

    Re: Melonhead

    I sympathize about the computer, I'm in an area that can't get braodband and dial up is so slow....... it takes me ages to post here, that's why I've been away so much, figured better to keep my whole body active rather than just my fingers hitting the keyboards. Just wanted to say how well you've done, especially with the bike thing - that's a big hurdle. I surprised my self by actually running - I used to when I was a teenager but have felt too fat, unfit and embarassed, but hey, I went for it, not far and I got really puffed and red, but I did it. Isn't it an amazing feeling to realize you can do things you thought you couldn't. You'll see the cms and weight fall off you - yayBig Smile [:D]

    Re: Melonhead

    this is a start of a new week

    i have been pretty much out of action for  a week. I over did it. i was so inspired by my new bike that I whipped out the step thingy and I am not joking but a 15 minute workout on them has set me back a week because I re-injured my feet and the pain was unbearable. My calf muscles seized up and I was very wary about doing any knee strengthening. and then, just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water- my husband gives me his cold. lol talk about maddening. feeling very fat and frumpy. my husbands lost 20 kilos. never fear tho, feet are better, so have feet will walk lol (no more step aerobics for a while) i truly think it was because i didnt warm up. i am going to try to use the step again only I will ensure I have done correct stretches. I guess I am like alot fo people, as soon as i feel better i rush into things so that i can make up for time lost. onward and upward though. cant wait to get rid of these pudgey little hands.....when did they get so darn fat omg lol.

    hope everyones doin good. you guys are what inspire me

    Re: Melonhead

    i have had a bit of rubbish go on on a personal level involving my ex husband and the awful levels he will stoop to to avoid responsability. unfortunately i eat when i stress now because i dont smoke.

    i really crave things when im like this but im so close to my years anniversary and i dont want to break before i reachmy goal. i am like most of us here, i need to deal with issues without falling back on something like harmful over eating.

    tomorrow is another day and i promised myself i would get right back up

    the good thing is i didnt gain any weight over the 2 weeks, but i missed out on losing a few kilos. heres to a new day and like Adro said when facing his ultimate challenge " to the new me"

    on a fabulous note, this is something attributed purely to the exercise and the weightloss no matter how small, 6 months ago i couldnt walk down a hill or down a flight of star coz of my knees. now i can do it unassisted without stopping like normal people.

    6 months ago i couldnt kneel on my knees and i certainly couldnt get up without assistance. without realizing it i packed the books on the bottom shelf that i was sorting and was shuffling around on my knees and i got up with not so much as a snap or a crack or a pain.

    cant express how happy i am.. tomorrow i sart again getting stronger knees

    my goal is to be  90 kilos when my anniversary for quitting smoking is up, then its all down hill from there:)

    Re: Melonhead

    yay finally back on track with eating.  i rarely type in here because my stupid firewall hates this site for some reason and wont let the reply window pop up so i just had to shut it off to say gday to adro.

    seeing kristie has spurred me on again, she is same height as me but i think her bones are way smaller. doesnt matter tho, i see how fab she looks now and i remember that a few of years ago i was that little(cant beleive i thought i was so fat then)

    so glad i kept all my clothes coz im really gonna do this

    ate well today and have menu worked out for whole week, sticking to 1400 cals with red meat most nites coz anaemias hangin around.

    kk lunch is over

    gotta move it to lose it

    Re: Melonhead

    1 MORE KILO YAY!! goal for May is to get to 90 kilos by the end of May so I am getting there.Big Smile [:D]

     

    i said i wouldnt get new clothes coz my size 10s and 12s are all still very new but i founbd myself with literally no clothes the other day and it was cold. my boss told me to put on a jumper and i replied truthfully that I have no jumper that fits. my fatpants are so worn theyre going to dissolve soon and theyre 3/4 pants anyhow so hardly wintery. So today i am going to buy 1 pair of jeans and 1 winter top to see me through till i can sqeeze into my normal clothes. I am going to run in there, not look in any mirrors find a pair quick and run out. all i need is a pair of jeans i can sit down in . OK i think i have psyched myself into this ( i have real issues with clothes shopping)

    i can do this

    Re: Melonhead

    Well done on your weightloss!  I am sure you will be at 90kgs by the end of May no worries.

    I hate clothes shopping too, have to psych myself up like that also.  Hope you found some jeans and that the whole experience wasn't too awful!
