You're probably eating too much. Be careful with the calories given to you by Map My Ride. I'd probably only trust them if you're riding with a power meter, even a heart rate monitor might not really give you the most accurate results. Strava tends to give me around 1000 calories per ride(~18mph for an hour) now a days.…

Cycling is the best cardio you can do IMHO. If you're fast, take all the credit. If you're slow, blame the bike. :smile: My knees are completely destroyed from being overweight. There's honestly zero pain after cycling, thought it did take me a little while to get my bike fit completely dialed in.

If you're doing an hour on your bike every day I don't think that the home routine will hurt your weight loss goals. It's definitely better than doing nothing for muscle retention, though as you lose weight, your push-ups are going to be less effective. :tired_face: That being said, don't give yourself any extra calories…

I'm a little confused, are you doing the half an hour in addition to you bike? I think muscle lose will happen regardless, when losing weight. That being said, even if you don't do the upper body work, I don't think you'll see a major strength loss. I bike too btw, I doubt that I'll ever lose muscle in my legs.

A Guinness is only ~130 calories.

I just drink a lot of water, especially during the ride. You'll be surprised how much less hungry you are when you're not thirsty.

As someone who loves beer, I'm going to say just have what you want and make sure your calories for the week average out. Because of cinco de mayo last week I had to of these outings, but managed to stay within my goal.

I eat mostly carbs and still lose weight.

Since I can't see your diary, I can only give you the following advice:* Make sure you're logging everything you eat. * Make sure you're weighing out all of your food, this really feeds into the point above, but it's crucial. * If you're logging your exercise try not eating back more than half of the calories. You're still…

Sort out your caloric intake first, then worry about your macros.

I'll add a visual representation of deficit. In the picture I had two "cheat days", but my average calorie consumption over the last 6 days was around ~1660. I still expect to lose weight, this week, but if one of my cheat days was 1000 calories more, then my average would be around 1827, which is around the point where I…

I took a look at your diary and you really should log your cheat day. You're allowed to have a cheat day only if you average out below your weekly calorie allowance. I can easily consume 4-5000 calories in a day, and while I don't think you can, it does put a pretty big impact on your week. I also second that you're…

I got my rides to start syncing again by disconnecting it and re-connecting it. Though it didn't go back and do the days that were skipped.

It's really up to you, I generally only have bad days because my wife/friends want to go out or it's some sort of holiday. I'd just make sure that your average for the week is still below the MFP goal. I also want to add that 2 kilograms a month is better than nothing, you're at least headed in the right direction.

You are around my age, weight, and Activity level(we both bike). Since I started a few weeks ago, I've been losing around 2lb a week. Check out my diary if you want to see what I eat. I usually don't eat back any of the calories that I get from strava, so I end up eating just around 1500 a day, which is over some days and…

Please don't bring hard boiled eggs on a plane.

My goal is just to go a little farther each ride.

I usually bring a bag or two of Jerky depending on how long I'm traveling.
