Wow… My heart aches for you, and cheers for you. Grief has no directions or script. Doing a 5k is a healthy outlet. Take care of you and don't over do things. As @spiriteagle99 physical pain is easier to handle, don't let your healthy outlet become all encompassing or punitive.

Weight is hard to approach if you aren't "level". I really think you need to be in a good place mentally, or working on being in a good place to really do this in a healthy, well thought out manor. With the highs and lows, it's hard to be consistent. A healthy lifestyle needs that consistency. If you are ready for that,…

Starting over weight - March 20, 2025: 205 April 14: 192.4 - False low as I effectively fasted over the weekend. With hubby sick, I had no appetite and a fear of catching his bug. Didn't get much done over the weekend except watching out for sick hubby. I am not a good nurse, so I say watching not caring for. I mean I…

Didn’t log or weigh yesterday. Also didn’t eat yesterday. Hubby was very sick. Every time I thought about eating, He go sick. I literally had 1 cracker yesterday while heating up soup which I threw away. Hopefully I don’t get whatever it is that he has. Needless to say our evening plans were canceled, as are my Sunday…

Light load at work this afternoon. Cue the "munchies". I have some healthy and some low cal snacks, but I have 3.5 hours to kill. Aughhhh!

Do not add the pedaling machine based on mileage. It will not equate on Garmin. When I spin I burn about 400cal/hour, when I ride I get closer to 600/hour. You are a man and larger than me, so you will likely burn more, but there is no way you burn 400cal/hr (3200/8hr)on the desk model. I think your original plan of using…

I wouldn't say you've messed up, but you may be setting unrealistic expectations for yourself. Many times, folks (myself included) take the hard road and are so restrictive that it isn't maintainable or it leads them to binge which is counter productive. Like they say slow and steady... With your stats, I'd probably aim…

I recently made a post "Exchanging Pride for Grace" It chronicles my struggles with mental battles including grief/fear and my poor coping skills. It was eye opening to write it all down and see where I went right and where I went wrong. For me it was the all or nothing attitude. I could be "fat & happy" drinking and…

I shop on Thredup and Posh Mart. I've found online consignment to be more convenient than thrifting in person. I've bought a lot of cute things. I also have a tote full of clothes from a previous weight loss I'm looking forward to rediscovering. 🙃

Thanks, I don't typically teach 3 out of 4 days, I'm just covering classes for friends who are on vacation. Typically I teach Saturday's and every other Monday (during tax season). I just added a Tuesday this week. I haven't been riding like I used to. Fact is, I'm not fit enough to go full out and teach. I was a little…

Yes, I have to watch that as well, but I have a good idea of what I burn in a 45 minute spin class, and I was able to lighten my lunch a bit. Actually, lightened lunch a little too much and scarfed down some candy, but dinner was pretty low calorie so it balanced out.

Taught 3 spin classes in the last 4 days and worked for it. It feels good to feel good about myself after a class. Tired, but good.

We had a group breakfast/brunch this morning. I had a blueberry bagel with butter instead of fruit which has been my go to lately. Calories were double my usual, so I limited lunch a little. Now I'm hungry. May add to my afternoon snack. Funny how my mind works. I know I'm going to exercise this evening, so the extra…

I've not used a pedal machine, but I ride stationary and outside. Calories for stationary steady state is fewer calories than outside riding, and I would assume the pedal machines are even less. cmriverside is correct trial and error will give you the best answer. For now I think I would leave my activity level and not…

I had to do a little math to put things in perspective for myself. You are 163cm (~5'3") and have weighed 58-60kg (128 -132#) for over 2 years, and there are others that are your height and 40-50kg (88-110#). Two years is a long time for sure. It does mean your net calories are too high on average to lose weight. I'm sure…

Hey Spring! Pride I’d only a problem when you let it stop you. Being too proud to try again got in my way too many times. I’m proud of myself for getting up. I’ve let who I was stop me too many times recently. I’m not as fast or as fit as I was, and that’s okay. I had to grow into that belief.
