Turn on your TV and watch NAKED AND AFRAID or ALONE. These are supposed to be survival shows but they are closer to food deprivation endurance events (i.e. slow starvation). FACT CHECK: The premise of these shows are actually as follows: very few or no calories in = weight loss to massive weight loss - depending on how…

^^^This^^^ I just want to add that there have been many times where I did not feel like another run, swim, bike ride, trip to the gym...but after I finished the "dreaded" workout I always was: * glad I did it * felt better than before I started * never regretted it Add me if you want - I lost 75 pounds in 18 months about…

I was a very heavy drinker who was dry for nearly 4 months. I even managed to get off my BP meds by not drinking - so stoked! So last weekend I thought I could start drinking casually again. So I tried one beer on Friday...OK. Then I tried 2 shots of bourbon on Saturday...OK. Then another beer on Sunday...still OK. Bammo -…

Jumping in late this June. I have only been tracking time/mileage for about a week. I gave up all apps about 3 years ago and traded them in for a cheap bike computer and loud music. I bought a new bike (Jamis Renegade) and my oldest son "claimed" my old bike (Jamis Allegro Sport - hybrid) with the bike computer. Back to…

When I was doing my big weight loss (75 lbs in 18 months), my longest no-weight-loss plateau was 7 weeks or so. HOWEVER, while the weight was not coming off, the inches were. If you are not measuring, do start. If I had not been measuring I am sure I would have become discouraged. Do at least hips, waist, and neck. Add in…

I cycle a ton on trails. I hit it hard when I go too. I know this is an aerobic exercise and not lifting. However, my legs are constantly "well used" after a ride. The achey soreness that I think you are speaking of left once I finally got my legs and lower core tuned up and in shape...but the "well used" feeling is pretty…

I just bought a new bike - a Jamis Renegade. Love it. I picked up my old bike - a Jamis Allegro Sport (hybrid) from the shop after a complete tune up. I just gave that bike to my oldest son who is 28 and in great shape. We are always competing and he usually wins. He wants to ride with me, but not just yet, because he is…

^^^THIS^^^ As a business owner I get employee requests for all kinds of things all the time. If it is important to you, and not the norm for the office, I would suggest that you talk to the boss, them them your health goals, explain your concerns about being sedentary, and if it would not be too disruptive to the…

I am an avid cyclist who also runs, swims, and plays softball. I am on daily and only do snarky comments when you do cheat weekends...otherwise very supportive ;) I too am looking for active MFP friends. This is actually my 3rd time on MFP...first time lost 70 pounds and kept it off. 2nd time was for some fine tuning. This…

I quit drinking 3 months ago. To my surprise this allowed me to stop taking BP meds 3 weeks ago! I am med free. So stoked! BTW - I was on BP meds for about 11 years.

When I am cycling hard and fast on relatively flat trails in the 15 mph range, I can burn about 850 cal/hr. I have checked this with my HRM. Luckily for me, MFP calorie estimates for cycling seem to be close enough to accurate that I do not worry about the difference.
