By FoxyLady2Be]]> I just had to laugh at this post. I can't believe you blew the circuits using a treadmill. You go girl. Rock on with your bad self.

Wardrobe malfunctions are the best, especially when surrounded by friends and family members, under the influence of alcohol while trying to look fancy. That's always when it happens to me.

By Jenny]]> If you're going to "malfunction", you did it during the right song.

So, I SHOULD buy that "hip hop off the pounds" DVD that keeps showing up in my spam? Hmmm....

By Kate G.]]> Mad props to you for exercising while you were away for your brother's wedding. That's great evidence of your lifestyle change! And your treadmill story was hilarious. It reminded me of the treadmill I had at my first apartment... it would always throw the circuit if I had anything else turned on in the room. So I could not exercise at night...

By Miss_Thing]]> PastaQueen, I must join your adoring throng and tell you how inspirational you are (and I really hate the word "inspirational"). I've been lurking and reading through the archives for the last few weeks and CANNOT wait for your book to be released. You are too funny! I've lost 50+ pounds so far through diet and exercise and am planning to keep going to lose half of me. You are a great example that it's possible to make lasting lifestyle changes to lose weight and keep it off. Rock on!

By lynn]]> This post made me laugh, too. Also, I thought it was acetaminophen you couldn't mix with alcohol (it increases toxicity to the liver).

By Laura Bora from Bufadora]]> Stationary Cycling alone is a kind of hell, but in the dark with no tunes? You are a Femmacho Warrior Woman.

My brother got married on June 2, and I broke a sweat on the dance floor, too -- good stuff. A LITTLE BIT LOUDER NOW!

By PastaQueen]]> As much as I'd like you all to think I'm so hardcore I would bike in the dark, the lights went out on the treadmill panel, not in the room. If it had gone dark I probably would have gone back to bed.

By Lesley]]> Sounds good. I posted a couple of days ago about how much I'm enjoying dancing now that I'm slim. I used to like it even when I was weighty but couldn't last long - now you can't get me off the dancefloor - it's great being all exuberant isn't it?

Glad you had a good time and looking forward to the pictures of you in your dress.

By K]]> I hope you didn't hurt yourself when the treadmill cut out! Once when that happened to me I ran full tilt into the display thing and got matching bruises at kidney height and on my knees...

By Lynn]]> Hi again, I was just wondering, after reading back through some of your ealier entries, do you think you could physically eat the amount of food that you did at the start of this life changing journey?

By Mary]]> Probably a good thing that you did the cycle instead for awhile. Cross-training is very effective.

It's funny, but even at my current weight (BMI 36) I can take my bicycle on a 36-mile ride and not feel sore the next day. But 60 minutes of steady walking, that my muscles feel, because they're not used to it. Plus, the walking in addition to the cycling makes the scale shift in a favorable direction.

Just my two cents, for what it's worth. (What are two cents worth these days?)

I have been checking out the pre-cut stuff at Meijers - lots of small packages and no waste.
