New here
I have slowly been gaining weight, up to 88kg or 194lbs. I cycle a lot and it lures you into thinking you eat and drink whatever you want. A slight reduction in availability to go cycling ( due to caring duties,) as led to a slow increase. The aim is to lose 10kg in 6 weeks using fast800 diet then switch to 5:2. So far…

Recommended Zone 2 Training
I’m trying to lose 60 lbs and my only means of working out is some weight training and cardio on a stationary bike. I’m not able to do high impact aerobic exercises because of a bad back. I just discovered zone 2 training and was wondering if anyone else uses this style of training. What would be the minimum amount of time…

I'm down 9 pounds after only a couple of weeks - I know that will slow down to a…

1 Year Introduction
Hello! I have been a member for about a year and still greatly appreciate this app. In the past I have always struggled with eating, I would skip most meals and bury myself in work. Unfortunately this would result in poor nutritional choices when I did eat. Last year I focussed on developing habits, putting attention to…

Introduction
Hi, I am not one to dive into these communities but after my 3rd major lapse around emotional eating I am back at it to keep it off for good. Figured dropping an intro and doing this a little differently will help. I am a non profit bicycle guy. Love the beauty of a bicycle and want to race on a track this year and thus…

Does anyone have an electric bike and are they worth it??
I have a regular bike but find hills such a struggle that it makes me reluctant to go out for a bike ride (I’m very overweight at the moment) Wondering if an electric bike would make things easier for me and get me outdoors and active again. Please share your thoughts - thank you!

Cycling Weight?
As someone who has been working out for a few years and monitored my weight religiously, I have made it a habit to ignore the scale. That being said, after taking up aggressive cycling indoors (peloton training) alongside more weights as well as outdoor cycling with running, I seem to have made progress with speed and…

Should I be losing weight or building muscle?
Hi I’m 22(f) and I just started using MyFitness Pal more seriously. I’m 5’1 and at ~120lbs. I recently gained about 10lbs over the past 2 months. The only thing that I can think caused this was quitting smoking. I haven’t done anything else different. I was even working out 3-4 times a week (spin classes) while I gained. I…

Exercise calories
Hi everyone. Should I be eating back any of my exercise calories? I'm currently on 2100 calories limit a day. I burn around 3000 extra calories cycling and walking per day. Currently sticking to my 2100 per day but not sure if this is sensible 🤔 any opinions please?

Cycling is a "good deal" (maybe too good...)
I know it's come up before, but I am just amazed that Garmin will give me ~800 extra calories for cycling to work and back (9.5m each way with a moderate climb). Lot's of people may jump in and claim "that's too much," but I've found the cycling estimates lead to weight maintenance. The only catch is that I can easily…
