Hey Ladies. Not too on plan this week :/ but my parents came down to celebrate my birthday early this weekend and I got a bike! I took it out today and made it three miles. I wasn't too winded but my quads were screaming "what is this thing?!" I'm excited to start building up some confidence and stamina on it. For a long while I figured I'd wait until I was at or close to goal before getting a bicycle. But this bike had some reviews stating that it's good for bigger women. So I figured, if I want to complete a triathlon one day, why should I wait until I'm skinny to start building my foundation?

Hi everyone, my name is Elise and this is at least my second or third try. I had lost over 20lb. last time but i have to start all over again because a little over a month ago I had my 5th baby. My goal is to lose over thirty lbs through strength training and cardio but I can't really diet because I'm breastfeeding. But that's not the only hurdle right now... My keyboard is broken so I'm hving to use my hubby's iPhone so please excuse the mispellings. hopefully I can get it fixed soon so I can chat more. Can't wait to meet my team and get started!

Just saw this now. Thank you for asking about me. I am not feeling any better. Husband and I had our 8th wedding anniversary and my 29th birthday and I couldn't celebrate either. We had a little birthday party for me and I had to take a percoset and gravol and lay on the couch. It sucked. But I meet up with the surgeon on wednesday, so I hope to get some answers then.

Everyone else- Time's up! The sign up thread is now closed. You can look for your team's to be posted by Wednesday of this week. Cheers!

Hi everyone,

Sorry I have been MIA on the thread and did not do personals for everyone. I have read everything and just want to give a warm welcome to everyone that is new to the challange or returning from a bit of time away.

Also a big hello to all our returning challange addicts

I am very excited for this one and look forward to meeting everyone on my team. We will knock this one out of the park.

babygrant - so sorry you are not feeling any better and I really hope that the surgeon can give you some answers. To bad you couldn't celebrate your birthday or your anniversary. Happy Belated Birthday though.

Mercy - Bring it on.....I need the extra incentive

Shan - WooHoo here we go again, so excited.

Again a big to everyone in the Fall Focus 2010 Challange.

Well off to Costco in an hour to get my contacts checked. I am trying bifocal ones and they are very weird to get used to. The close up is great but I can't see 2 feet in front of my face....lol I think I may need to try a bit stronger in the distance portion.

Hey Jackie, I had the same problem with my contacts,so I tried mono- lenses.1 eye for long distance and the other is for reading,problem solved.Ask your optometrist about them.

Thanks I have an appointment next month and I'll ask about mono lenses. I did get a different person the other day who was better and put me in a totally different pair of lenses and these ones are much better.
