Introduction Text "The line must be drawn here! This far and no further!" -- Captain Picard, Star Trek: First Contact OK, so he's talking about the Borg, and I'm talking about pounds. But that's a minor detail, right?

After a recent "ah ha" moment, I am committed to shedding the excess weight I've put on over the last decade due to pregnancy, parenthood, poor choices, medical problems, etc. I have a genetic disorder called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, which makes my connective tissues really weak, and my joints very prone to injury. I have a minor disability after a major injury related to EDS, which makes traditional exercise challenging -- nothing involving walking or running is appropriate (and I HATE swimming!!!!)

Diet: Somewhere between "The Zone" and "South Beach." Does that make me "Lost?" Exercise: Stationary rowing on a Concept II rowing ergometer. Alas, my "on the water" days have been ended by medical issues, but rowing remains my best cardio choice.

I'm from Ithaca, NY.
