I used to have sorbet but only do this occasionally ow as I'm conscious of all the sugar it. O% fat free yoghurt had become my new best friend as a snack or desert. With all sort in toppings ( not all at the same time!) Nuts, berries, dates, maple syrup and nut butters. I find it great because with just a teaspoon of MS or…

Peggyd73 How are you getting on with the clip less pedals? I'm hoping you're finding the benefits out way the possible stumble. Even experienced riders get caught out occasionally and yes there's alway a crowd when it happens. Bruised egos, tend to be the worse of any injury! When's the Charity ride and what are you doing?

Thanks new friends- the extra support is really helping my focus and wth motivation. I've also worked out how to friend

Yes cycling is such a great sport for mature competitors. This year Masters National (British) Track championship, The 55 + age group for women is getting bigger and will 11 competitor this, with 4 competitors + 60!

Great to hear from all. Request sent, so we can keep connected. Thank you for sharing your own tails. For the record it was a hobby a serious one for sure- but never a career. I'm too old to be of the era when there was a pro female petition. I do however occasionally, get the chance to put a bit back( as support staff)…

Hi Heather I'm based in UK and have an open diary for accountability. Sounds like we have similar goals, be great to be connected.

Jetjaguar thanks for help-sadly I'm struggling to figure it out on my phone & iPad.

Alidaalberts - good luck with the opperation next week. Sadly, I have no idea how to friend request, it would be great to see your progress and have you as a friend, if you have the know how?

Good to have you both onboard!

Hi I'm Chez- positive and great a chearleding. I too am looking for active friends too here that are goal oriented- I log daily- also did and intro yesterday. Sadly I have no idea how to add friends but you are welcome to do so if you like, for the record I'm not a friend collector either.

You are very fit (I've seen how many miles you do) and you must be…

It would appear that my drop 2 dress sizes has re appeared in the news feed. Thats nice :-) Thanks for all the additional lovely comments and some friend request.

LOVE THS!!!!! One brilliant opinionated dad, who will not restrict what his daughters do in life- Bravo! They will thank you for it when they grow up! Both my opinionate parent taught me this when I raced against the boys at 13. At 42 I still race, when I turn up and the only female racing against 80 + men, many of them…

Thanks for all the kind words of encouragement. I’m worked hard for the figure that I’m beginning to appreciate. As I’ve lost weight, I’ve regained my self-confidence. It’s been a double whammy!

I’m the fittest and leanest I’ve ever been and I’m happy to defy my 42 years! I’ve lost 25lbs, would ideally still like to loose 8lbs but toning and strengthen are now my main focus. MFP is a great structure to help me control my calorie consumption V expenditure of energy. Participating in exercise has never been…

Thanks I'm 5 3.5 I'm wearing 4.5 inch heels with these! :-)
