My name is Kim and I am new to gimmie20, but not new to diet and weight struggles. I had been overweight my entire life and topped out at 226lbs! I was afraid my daughter was even embarassed of me and I had no energy to do anything which when your a single mom is no good! Anyway a professor of mine in nursing school saw my desire to want to learn how to eat healthy the right way, especially since I had a history of numerous failed diets. Anyway, he put me on a his 9th Law diet and I have now lost 91 pounds and feel fabulous. If I can do it anyone can!

I suffered a heart attack last year at age 43. High cholesterol runs in family. My mum passed away at 46, her brother at 47, my younger brother at 38. I'm the lucky one I survived my heart attack and under went quad bypass surgery.

Last stress test was passed with flying colours. No doubt as a result of riding to work every day. Next stress test not for another year.

I ride a 2000 Davinci Taos MTB.

There is a great list of exercises specifically targeted at bikers over at about.com.

Check it out.

Oi!
Just wondering if anyopne knows of some good bike paths in East Vancouver. When the weather gets better I am gonna fix up my old bike with some pimp fenders and whitewall tires and go cruising to work everyday.
