Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / August 2004Happy ASD Anniversary!
I've been participating here on asd for a year today. That means I've been maintaining my weight for 18 months now. I love reading menu posts, exercise routines and all the recipes. I've learned a lot from each of you. I wouldn't have dreamed of lifting weights without Chris and Dally making it sound cool. Beverly and jmk finally got me over my fear of bike riding on the narrow roads here. Perple and Jenn's search for answers and openness to new directions helps me not get rigid about *my* way. Meeting Amy IRL was great fun and I'd like to get together with more of you. Diva and Mary M and Barbara Hirsh continue to inspire by simply keeping on. JayJay's no-nonsense posts are honest and always real. Even Igor's fretting over the difficulties of keeping off his weight makes me grateful for my easier temperament. Beeswing, Tonia, Elly, Julianne, Janice, Ally, Susan and Kasey - I hate to leave anybody out - you're all amazing! My weight fluctuates between 110 and 113 and I try not to let it bug me. My legs have reshaped themselves since I started bike riding, maybe it's muscle! lol Chris' goal range seems more sane. What's important is that all my size *four* clothes (and the size 2 Old Navy khakis <g>) fit me and I feel wonderful. For the first time in my life I consider myself to be a healthy, active, athletic person and I really like that. I celebrated today by doing my oldest and newest forms of exercise. Pilates this morning, 18 mile bike ride after lunch and a glorious 3 mile walk with my tunes humming in my ear after supper. I'm happy. So I lift my glass of water to salute you all. This is a cool place. I'm staying.  SignatureWalking (but mostly biking!) on . . . Laurie in Maine 207/110 60 inches of attitude!

I might add that after reading your posts about recipes and cooking I'm beginning to do a little more cooking at home than I have in the past. Before you think I've turned into Betty Crocker let me clarify the cooking is for items I take in my lunch.

I do love eating out - that's when I can get special foods I don't cook myself, like grilled tuna or salmon. But knowing I can put healthy foods together with different seasonings and condiments and have something yummy is very pleasurable for me.

It will probably be a long winter this year up here since we've already had frost all week (overnight temps around 35). I predict it will start snowing next month which means I could be snowshoeing by Thanksgiving.

Chris Happy Anniversary!! You are a great addition to ASD, and I have enjoyed your possitive outlook. You have been some of my daily motivation and inspiration along with just about everyone else here. :) Keep on living!!

Glad that we > both agree on importance of walking. Thanks, Ig. I'm glad you're happier about your WOE now. I learned something yesterday. Since I got my bike I've been riding for exercise almost exclusively because it seems I don't have to spend as much time at it. But when I went out to walk in that sweet summer evening yesterday I realized I *miss* it. Walking is good for my head as much as my body. My walking buddy will be back from vacation Monday and we'll be back to our routine. I promise to keep walking <s> SignatureWalking (but mostly biking!) on . . .

I always enjoy reading you here and hearing about your progress with maintenance and your onward journey into fitness - including the change of activity that's caused you to change your sig line recently. I'm glad you're planning to stay with us here. janice > I'm glad you're planning to stay with us here. Aww, janice - the wonderful thing about this box o'rocks is that now it's so easy to have friends all over the world. I was delighted by how friendly and helpful everyone was when I visited your country. If I ever get back there, I now *know* someone I can walk with!
