I’ve seen several posts where you say your knees hurt, and I have a tip that helped me A LOT!

When I started kickboxing aerobics (it’s fun to learn how to kick ass while exercising) my knees started to hurt and click too. The instructor suggested a supplement: Glucosamine and Condroitin (they come in the same pill and you can buy them at the pharmacy). This stuff is recommended to old people with arthritis and joint pains because they help lubricate your joints. Within a week I was feeling a slight difference and pretty soon there was no more pain. It’s at least worth a shot. Happy knees are important to exercising.

another vote against cavaliers. if you need small go with the saturn or a honda. my honda is the toughest car i’ve ever owned, and the 5 speed 4 cylinder is the most powerful 4 cyl on the market, oh and they’re cheap to insure and hold their value better than any other car make.

damn, that really makes me sound like a dealer…

Awesome job on the loss and I’m shopping for a new car too!

I’m getting a honda odyssey, that should be big enough to hold me ;-) I know it’s korny but I need a family car.

I’ve secured a loan and am going to pick it up next weekend. It is nerve wracking going through the process.

What I found helped me a lot is getting a quote over the internet. You can select the local car dealers you want the quote from. Then they know you’ve seen the invoice and blue book value of the car so they can’t over price you. Also they think they’re competing with other dealers and that motivates them to give you a lower price. Then they think you’re all savy and crap and seem to be more down to earth once you go in person. That was my experience anywhoo.

good luck!

Ah I remember the belly rub. When I wore light color shirts I had to put a towel between me and the steering wheel. One time I asked my sister (who has no interest in losing weight whatsoever) what is she gonna do when she can’t get in her car…she said “Buy a bigger car” I LOVE MY SISTER! hahaahha Also do you remember the inner thigh rubbed raw syndrome? All of my pants had the thighs rubbed clean out and oh boy did that make for sore thighs! FYI love my Saturn its been a good little girl!

Awesome @ another pound!!!

I am a sucker with cars, I brought my FIRST car 2yrs ago. I walked in and paid the price… yea I beat I was the easiest sale that guy had ever had.. not so good for me.

But I love my car, so I try and ignored the shocked faces when I told people lol. Good luck Car Hunting!

I hate car shopping. I dunno why they can’t just put the actual price of the car on the tag instead of turning it into some kind of game.

I just have to say, I finally took a look at your progress photos today after having read your blog for a while, and your progress is amazing! (I don’t use IE, so I didn’t have the right flash plugin to view your pics). I am totally inspired!
