2024 Cycling Challenge
Here we are, our third year running! Or, more appropriately, pedaling! Like cycling? So do I! This challenge is a simple one - ride 2024 miles in 2024! Type of cycle? Doesn't matter. Indoor, outdoor, don't care. As long as it has pedals (whether for feet or for hands) and wheels (virtual or real), it counts! Peleton?…

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…

Hi I'm Jay from Ohio
I was looking for an alternative to WW and after reading several reviews that recommended MFP I downloaded the app. I'm loving it so far - really like tracking calories rather than points and am loving the support from the community so far. 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…

Any Peloton users/At-home exercisers?
Wondering if there are any Peloton users out there who would like to connect for accountability and motivation. I found a couple of groups but they haven’t been active in a long time. I’m willing to start a new group if anyone is interested! I use the bike and the app. Also, if anyone is not a Peloton user but sticks 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…
