I'm a "Newbie" here! - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

TiffRidesAHarley · 07-20-2006, 02:44 AM

Hello,

I just wanted to introduce myself to everyone. I am new here and decided I needed to find somewhere else to look for support. All of my friends have had some sort of weight loss surgery and their "diet plan" no longer coincides with mine. I am looking to make some friends and hopefully learn something.

Hi Tiff!

I just joined today and I too ride a harley- as a matter of fact my motiviation to get fit is my birthday present from DH- a 2007 Street Bob! My DH is coming back in 2 weeks- he is Navy.

Tell me about your ride!

Stella,

I don't drive right now, I currently ride. Our plan is to buy me a Harley of my own next spring. I have driven motorcycles in the past, but when we bought our bike we could only afford one. We bought ourselves a 2003 Road King Custom for a Christmas present to each other in 2002.

We have another thing in common, my husband is also military. He is in the Air Force and deployed right now to Kyrgyzstan. He is planning on returning at the end of September. I am hoping to loose quite a bit more before then.

Hey!!! Coool! !!

You are going to laugh at this- my husband does not
have a bike anymore so we are going to share mine!
But I cant be a passenger- I was traumatized in my youth on
the back of a motorcycle while taken on an involuntary **** ride so I have to be driving.

Can you imagine a military guy on the back
of a hog? HA HA HA! I think I will just let him drive it
alone and when he gets his we will go out together. *GRIN*

Hopefully we can afford to get him one in a year or two.

I am really hoping to be notably fitter by the time he returns.

Ohhhh Your bike sounds awesome!!!

TiffRidesAHarley · 07-20-2006, 02:33 PM

What sucks is he has been deployed for the summer. We live in MN, the only time to ride is in the summer. His bike is too big and scary for me to take out on my own right now. I haven't actually riden by myself in over 8 years.

I am just curious, a question I would live EVERYONE to answer: How are you fighting the battle of the bulge??

Sorry,Tiff

Hi I Just Wanted To Jump In And Welcome You!! I Am New Here Too!! What Im Doing Is Exercising And Cutting Out The Fast Food And Sodas...thats All So Far

TiffRidesAHarley · 07-20-2006, 05:06 PM

I am so glad I found this place. It is a great place to talk to people that are in the same boat as you. It is the first time in my life I have listed my weight anywhere that someone can see and OMG I did it on the internet. That alone was a big deal.

oliviaCAN · 07-20-2006, 05:35 PM

SAME HERE..I NEVER TOLD ANYONE ABOUT MY WEIGHT, I WAS SO SELF CONSCIOUS ABOUT THAT, THEN HERE I AM...POSTING IT ON THE NET LOL I LOVE IT ON HERE, ALL THE SUCCESS STORIES AND THE MOTIVATORS ON HERE REALLY HELPS...IM GLAD I JOINED HERE!! =p

HDStreetBob · 07-20-2006, 06:51 PM

I am doing that diet plan that sends the food to you- I have tried everything else but cannot deal with counting measuring and such right now with the 3 toddlers- it is just too easy to go off plan if there is too much thinking to do about it.

I will be transitioning when I reach goal to the Weight Watchers mantainence(sp?) program to keep it off. I have done WW before and will have the energy to do it when I am healthy again.

Oh Tiff I am so sorry you lost the whole summer with your DH

I am in CA so loosing the summer is not too big a deal- and besides we have not had a bike since BC (before children) so we had nothing to miss this year.

TiffRidesAHarley · 07-20-2006, 09:03 PM

He will be back the end of September, we are hoping we will still have some nice days left to take the bike out. Maybe a little vacation.

I am not having my food shipped to me but I use a lot of frozen dinners from the grocery store. It makes this so much easier. If I had to cook all day everyday to lose weight, I could eat whatever I wanted because I would burn so many calories cooking!!! HEE HEE not really, but you know what I mean.

Hi! Just thought I'd reply and say welcome to the board, I'm pretty new here too - 3 weeks.

I'm also an air force wife, my hubby is away now in Hawaii for most of the summer, back in August. Bummer. So I decided I'd go on the "deployment diet"! The day he left, i ate a whole big bag of chips and the next i started my diet. I wanted to get a good steady plan going by the time he got back, so it's working out great!! I plan to immerse him in it too when he gets back.
