Thanks Neil, as you probably also know it's far easier to focus on the failures than it is to focus on success. We humans are an odd bunch

I read a great article in Bicycling about a family who rides together, sounds fun to have more then one obsessed person in the room. Keep it up.
Thanks, and know that you are one of the ones who inspire me. I too started as a 500+er, and I know how hard this thing can be - stick with it, you're doing amazing. Are you at the point where you can buy clothes in normal stores yet? If not, that alone is worth the loss - not having to mail order or buy at the Big and Tall stores
