I have an "Ugh, it's not fair" instance for being a woman over 40. I logged a bike ride on Strava last night. It was approximatley 12.5 miles in under an hour, not super fast but not too shabby. Strava told me that I burned 280 calories in that time. A young guy (maybe late 20's) logged an almost exact ride yesterday too…

Oh no, my son is 16 and I keep hoping it will get easier. They aren't kids any more but not really adults mentally yet. I keep reminding myself that he has to learn from his own mistakes just like I did. Hugs!

I pulled my heart rate monitor out of the box and used it for the first time last night. I just synced it to my Strava for now but I do have a bike computer my husband got me last year. I haven't used it in awhile because I scratched it up pretty good on a wipeout last year so I've been cautious to use it again and break…

Those look fantastic! Thanks!

I love Tuesdays...it's Ladies Mountain Bike Day! A group of us ladies get together and shred without those silly boys! We have so much fun and boy do the calories get burned B)

So speaking of calories burned mountain biking, what kind of tracker do you all use? I use Strava because that's what all my friends use but I think that assumes you are road riding not mountain biking. If I use the minutes ridden and put it in MFP using the one called "Bicycling, BMX or Mountain" it gives me nearly double…

Me too! I have the hardest time recording food on the weekends.

I’m at 1200 calories per day and eat back some of my exercise calories because I seriously cannot survive on 1200 per day. I was losing about 1/2 a pound a week but I was walking 2-3 miles at lunch, then sometimes walking at night with my husband as well. There were also days that I mountain biked hard and walked. I did…

Hi! I'd love to join your group here. I've been away from MFP since the fall. I got sick, had surgery and gained the 8 pounds of my last 15 back. I'm so mad about it. It was just a struggle to lose those 8 and now I have to lose them again along with hopefully the following 7. I'm 48 and short, and I'm sure you understand,…

Does anyone have suggestions for securing bikes in a garage? Last year I put my mountain bike in my basement but this year with my 3 high dollar bikes and my son's pricey mountain bike, I just don't have the room. My husband is infamous for leaving the garage door open and we've had an old bike stolen several years ago.…

I'm from Michigan. I lived there almost all of my life then moved to Montana in 2012. I grew up in Northville but lived in Redford, Tecumseh, Grass Lake and lastly Dansville before I moved. It's still home to me!

I can't even remember my last weigh in so I'm starting over: SW (and currently) 155 GW 140

So it's 7 bikes for happiness....well I better get on that I only have 3 :D eta...actually I have 4, I didn't count my old hardtail that I never ride.

Added to the fleet this year. That's 3 bikes in less than 12 months B) I think I'm a full blown addict :D Finally able to get back out on trails. We had one heck of a winter. I added the Fat Bike courtesy of my hubby. He surprised me with a Specialized Fat Boy I had demoed. Then just last week, I bought a low end model…

Just a short ride last night. My friend brought her dogs so we don't go quite as far on those nights. May 2 - 5 miles trail Hoping to pick up my new bike tomorrow or Saturday. I can't wait for more biking options.

Yep, me too! I just got into it last year and have purchased 3 new bikes in that time. My husband thinks I've lost my mind.

Saturday is Official Women's Mountain Bike Day. So if you are a mountain biking woman, go ride, or men, take a woman mountain biking on Saturday B) https://www.bicycling.com/news/a20067613/imba-international-womens-mountain-bike-day/

I'm not sure what to set my goal at for May. The weather is usually pretty wet this time of year so the trails may not be ride-able. I do like to get out on my mountain bike at least twice a week, also to offset the cost of a full suspension bike ;-) . I ride single track and some technical trails but I'm still pretty new…

I just went back to lifting weights last fall and I was 47, now 48. I did find a personal trainer who was a woman my age who understood what it feels like to start up a program when you are older. It's been fantastic! I'm so much stronger. I just feel better all around. It hurt for the first month or two but it was worth…

Need a better new bike picture! I see it's a Salsa though.

I'm so excited to finally be able to post in this group again! We had a record setting snowfall this winter and despite buying a fat tire bike the weather just did no cooperate to get out much. Spring has finally hit here though and I was able to ride quite a bit in the last week. I primarily mountain bike single track and…

I'm on a round right now. I started Tuesday. This will be my 4th round in the last 18 months or so. I was initially on a doctor prescribed anti candida diet for a long time. I started back into eating things that make me ill so I decided to try the Whole30. It's a fabulous program and no it's not a diet which is why is…

I agree with the person who suggested getting your thyroid checked. If my thyroid is off, need a med adjustment, my hair starts falling out. Mine grows back after I'm adjusted.

So I've totally stunk at keeping up with this thread. The weather took a turn here and we got snow and some bitter cold. They canceled the group night rides the last couple of weeks so I haven't been out since the 28th of October when we had a crazy warm spell. It was 80 on the 28th and 20 a week later. I need to buy a…

Oooh...bike porn...lol! I always joke with a friend of mine who likes to take pics of her bike while we are out on the trails. I just recently got back into biking. I had a road bike in high school and loved it. I bought a mountain bike in college and did some trails but nothing serious. I had a hardtail I bought a couple…
