I can really tell if I've consumed a lot of sodium the previous day when I step on the scale. Don't get frustrated... look at your monthly weight trends, not your daily trends.

I often work 7 days/week and don't have the time (or energy) to grocery shop or meal prep. My life savers have been frozen meals because I can stock the freezer full and be good. When I buy fresh foods, they usually go bad in my fridge before I get a chance to use them. My favorites are frozen fish filets with frozen…

I think there's a difference between an "I'm nearing the limits of my physical strength" grunt and a "I need everyone to look at me or I have my headphones in and don't realize how loud I'm grunting at EVERY rep" grunt. I'll let out a grunt occasionally, but there have been some people in the gym that I seriously want to…

Update: I took the advice to eat a little more, and have added some more carbs into my diet. The biggest change I made was beginning a strength training program. I've been doing Strong Curves and am on week 8 of 12. I rarely do cardio. I also started drinking Vega One after workouts. Once I made those changes the progress…

Thanks, ordering some OhYeah bars now!

I'm an odd one but I actually like riding in bad weather. I did a presentation a few weeks ago about riding in wet weather. Snow and ice is a different story, though. The Bonnie is capable of more than it's given credit for! :D You're never too old for offroad. Motocross is a bit much, though. I'm planning a…

:smile: I have a few bikes. I'll be riding a 2007 Triumph Bonneville, but I also have a 2005 Suzuki DR650, a 1965 Honda Superhawk, and am co-owner of a 1986 Honda CR125 dirt bike that we are rebuilding. I'm heading from the Bay Area down to Kernville, then to Joshua Tree for an annual all-female moto camping event called…

Thank you! I also have a 2005 Suzuki DR650 (for offroad) and a 1965 Honda CB77 Superhawk (for looking super cute.) Haha.

Thank you so much for all of this. That link is incredible!

Both shakes I've been using (Vega Essentials mostly but sometimes Gold Standard Whey,) don't include creatine. Should I be adding it? I'm using elliptical for cardio, and use the "interval" setting. According to the machine, which I know can be inaccurate, I average 300 calories in a 30 minute session. I'm considering…

So based on this, do you think a caloric goal of 1400 is reasonable, 1700 on workout days? I have purchased some personal trainer sessions, and will be asking them to review my lifting program and make any necessary tweaks. Most of what I'm doing now was taken from a trainer years ago when I had slightly different goals in…

Yes! Actually one of my best friends did the Saddlesore 1000 on Saturday! I'll be doing one myself one of these days. But I have nothing to prove, I'm planning on riding a moto around the world at the end of 2017!

This is good information. I have been increasing my carbohydrates intake a little bit, and am trying to figure out how high I should raise my caloric intake. I don't think i can get down with Enya, though. ;)

That's encouraging, thank you! You look fabulous!

I have been using a measuring tape which has been my recent marker of progress. That and before and after pics. I know I gain bulk easily, my mother does, too. I have noticed mass gain, mostly in my biceps and deltoids, that wasn't there before. Maybe not lbs worth, but definitely something. Also, I'm doing low carb/sugar…

Oh also, I'm 5'6".

CW: 135 October Goal: 130 Final Goal: 125, or 130 with more muscle Hitting the gym M-W-F doing weights and cardio, and just bought a jump rope for cardio on T-Th.

Other than being slightly less stretched out (you can see the treasure chest is wider in the before picture,) I've noticed that the colors seem darker/more vibrant now that they are more compact. Especially the reds, yellows, and blacks. I'm so so so glad I didn't manage to get any stretch marks! Also, I got the tattoo…

5 lbs at a time! (Not big enough of a loss to post in the before and afters but I'm over the moon at the one month progress!)

Going to the gym straight from work so I don't have time to sit down and get lazy.

Hey girl!! I'm not obese but I'm trying to lose my spare tire and get that bikini body! Adding!

THIS, 100%! Especially when I see how much effort on the elliptical goes into burning 200 calories, it's easier to say no to that 200 calorie snack. It's just not worth it. Personally, I'm trying to eat very little (not zero) carbs and sugar, which means eating more protein and healthy fats. I only started with a 15lb…
