I went to a Specialised (brand) shop which had a sitting bones measuring device. To my surprise I am wide but my sit bones are narrow. They size their saddles to fit the different parameters they measure . The narrow one I bought, looking like a racing bike’s terrifying blade like perch, has never given me a moment’s…

SOme of you can do such a lot and I can do so little but I am glad to be doing any! Another 6km indoors yesterday, that's 41.5 of my 100.

My goal was 100 cycling km this month. So far 35.5, some more coming this afternoon. It's getting a bit easier!

5 Jan 5km indoors 6 Jan 5.5km indoors 7 Jan 5km indoors 10 Jan 8km indoors So far 35.5km indoors of my 100 this month goal, and my legs are beginning to feel a little more willing.

My goal was 100 cycling km this month. So far done 22.5. Gonna do a few more this evening indoors, persist with little sssions for now

4jan 7km indoors. Starting from way behind where I was in 2017 when life changed and cycling got neglected

100km cycling indoor or outdoor this month.

3rd jan Off to an indoor start with 5km! Aiming for 100 km this month indoors or out. It’s a start!

I'd like to remove the 4.5 Lockdown kilos! Put on 5.9 all together since March , lost 1.8 so far, then when they are gone I'll set a new goal.

Same here I probably added about ten pounds. Trying to chase them away with brisk walks and logging here and keeping portions under control as before lockdown! But the boredom is hard not to eat through...

After an unwilling start ride 45 mins round the forest and to the next village. Really have some work to get my bike legs back! It’s an effort.

Half hour cycling in pelting rain then 40 minutes woodcarving. More bike tomorrow I hope.

First bike ride of the year and I got caught in a real downpour. Now I'm not a committed pro cyclist so I don't have the right gear for all that. Still, it was kind of fun slicing through puddles and smelling the wet forest. Not sure how much I will clock up in Jan, trying for every day starting today, when I am working…

Same here, all my life weight up and down but since starting mfp I find the fluctuations are more minor. I catch myself gaining and generally correct it better. Still far from goal! I feel your frustration but don’t give up! Your health is worth working for. You can do it!

I’m in the same boat. Being back on track feels quite a relief! Good luck!

Cycled for an hour around the villages. Paused midway for a protein bar, watched by this little person

I make a joke of it. If DH waves cookies at me I close my eyes and say “ nope, my mind is a fortress.” And you know, that does give me a funny feeling of empowerment.

I'm also in, I have to undo some months of hearty stress eating - maybe I can take my stress out on some innocent pumpkins - my goal is to eat to plan and burn 400 a day through cycling or on some cardio gear I have in my shed here.

Hi - also ready to make some new friends and account and be accounted to! I'm a woman on a mission for this autumn! Hoping to get back to cycling a bit too, feeling out of practice :-/

Thanks, that's helpful!

When thinner, I appear more together, less harrassed and not coping. I know it, others see it, not sure if it is in my imagination but it feels very real. Thinner I equate with organised and streamlined life.
