Gypsy, we're out there. Promise!

I don't think I've posted in this thread in a good long while - after being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in the winter, my doc put me on a liquid diet through a local research hospital (all Harvard med school faculty, who are competent despite that handicap ). So far I'm down 20% of my starting weight, and a total of 80 pounds from my highest weight ever. Still have a ways to go, but my glucose has normalized, I'm back on some solid food and - MORE IMPORTANTLY - I bought myself a shiny new road bike to celebrate this week's expected success of no longer being Officially Obese, but merely Overweight.

The funniest thing is how much I like the lower headset on my new bike, though I'd demanded upright position in the past. I guess a lot more changes as one gets smaller than just the pants size! Who knows - maybe I'll end up with drop bars on the next bike.

Anyway, I just wanted to drop by and represent for the fat chicks on bikes
