I didn't gain or lose this week. I did have an excellent exercise week, so will stay on my plan and be patient for the results. Hope everyone has a great week! :drinker:

I mix a little natural peanut butter and a smashed up banana in it while it's cooking. No sugar needed!

Good morning Thursday peeps! I lost a pound this week. This is great, since I ate my way through a couple of friends' birthdays and my anniversary. :drinker: Hope everyone has a good weigh-in today!:flowerforyou:

@hsquared, don't give up and don't be discouraged. I'm not a medical person, but the only suggestion I have is to try to find a physical therapist who can design a workout program for you. Let us know if you have any success with this. You're clearly motivated, or you wouldn't have logged in with us today. You just need to…

Chriscuts, there is already a thread for people who weigh in on Thursdays. Here's the link. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/101793-anyone-doing-thursday-weigh-in?page=9#posts-1603701

I'm the same weight, so no gain and no loss. I'll take it. I haven't been as diligent as I need to be with the food, so I'm just glad to have finished the week without gaining. Welcome to the new Thursday peeps!

Hey darlings, I'm skipping the weekly weigh-in on Thursday, as I'll be having a medical procedure, and will be fasting for a full day tomorrow. I'll be back next week for the weigh in. Just wanted to offer my encouragement and support to those who might not lose as much as they'd like this week, and my congrats to those…

@tip, the skills class sounds great! Wish we had something like that here. You get extra points for supporting Andrea, even though she may not cycle at your level (yet). STAND UP GUY! :drinker: Re: Flats - Stu is right. Someone needs to remove the tube and check the rim. There may be something small lodged in the rim…

A day of rest is a good thing. Rode 34 miles this morning (stopping halfway for breakfast). Plenty of rolling hills, but we both felt much better than we did a couple days ago. Sunday morning Al is leading one of the club rides, so if there are newbies there we will take the shorter route. If not, we'll do the 41 mile…

@rachel, hang in there. You might want to consult with a professional about how to set your goals. Any other positive changes due to the exercise?? Try not to get discouraged. :smile: :flowerforyou:

I lost a pound this week, for a grand total of 10.5 pounds lost. :happy: Everyone is doing such a great job! Love to see my Thursday peeps working hard and getting results! :drinker:

@Stu, you are a mechanical wonder! Unfortunately, I don't know much about my bike mechanically. I probably should learn some basic stuff at some point. @gwynn, I've lost about 10 pounds on MFP, but this isn't the same body I started with. Slimmed down and toned up! I tend to not lose anything for several weeks, and then a…

@megamom, Please reconsider wearing a helmet. I sweat like crazy, and I wear a HALO headband and a helmet. The HALO has kind of a rubber gasket (for lack of a better description) that channels perspiration away from your eyes. It doesn't interfere with the helmet. I've been more comfortable riding with the HALO than with…

@skywalker, thanks much for the trainer suggestions. I'll check them out. @lauz, it's very possible that your neck and shoulder pain is from cycling. I have had a lot of luck with some basic yoga to relieve that. And now for the moment you've all been waiting for, yes, the moment when you learn which saddle I picked!…

Hey, does anyone have a good quality bike trainer they would recommend? Due to lack of space, I'm getting rid of my elliptical, and think I want to put a trainer in the garage for rainy days like today. Any input is welcome. :flowerforyou:

@Stu, when Skywalker is through visiting with your wife, please send her to my place. I would be happy to put her up for a few days! FYI - Still no break from the rain. Usually, it rains hard, and blows over. Apparently not today. :brokenheart:

Rained out for the second day in a row. Hope the weather will clear up a little bit later, and maybe I can give this other saddle a try. @Stu, I've ridden in the rain with rain gear, but since these are borrowed saddles, don't want to drag them out in bad weather. Also, we've had such heavy rainfalls lately that it's a…

I got in my C25K workout this morning, and then planned to demo two new saddles. The first one I tried was a really nice Specialized (@Skywalker, not the Lithia, but tried this one for size bc they don't have a Lithia demo), and about the time I got the second seat on, a torrential rainstorm came out of nowhere.:cry: Hmmm.…

@tipusnr - I can't blame you a bit. That's just poor service all around. Today I tried a new bike shop in my search for a bike seat (still ongoing), and was pleasantly surprised by the service I received. Lots of questions about my riding habits, an attempt at measuring my sit bones, lots of discussion about various…

That's a great idea. I love spinach and eat it both cooked and raw all the time. I'll be giving this a try.

Subway's kids menu is good. You get a 4 inch sub instead of 6 inch, and can get apples on the side.

About various posts: I like men in tights. I like the idea of a MFP Cycling Club "reunion." Nothing is impossible. Unlikely, maybe, but not impossible. We could do it, even if only a few of us could, we could post pics online for the rest of the group to "join" us. Today I was meeting a potential client for the first time,…

Way to go everyone! Looks like there are lots of losers this week. ;)

Hi all. I lost 3 (yes, count them!) pounds this week! Woohoo! Hope everyone is doing well. I should be back on the Thursday schedule next week. :drinker: :happy: :flowerforyou:

@dinos, When I was in college, I used to run about 5 miles a day, and continued that until after grad school. Unfortunately, I eventually ended up with recurring ankle and shin issues, and about 10 years ago, my doctor advised me to stop running altogether, which I did. I'm running in a pair of Vibram 5 fingers shoes now,…

Hope someone gets in some good riding today, as it won't be me. We had planned to ride, but between the cycling and C25K, my legs are just beat. I've got C25K tomorrow, so maybe will ride on Friday and on the weekend.

I either cannot or will not work out at the end of the day. I usually get it done first thing in the morning. When I was working in an office (I work from home now), I used to change into my workout clothes at the office, and head outside for a walk on my lunch hour. Gyms are great, but I am not a gym person anymore. I…

Weekly weigh-in preview: I'm going to weigh in a day early this week again, thanks to another business trip. I did a preview weigh-in this morning, which I was happy with, but this isn't the day that counts. We'll see how it looks on Wednesday morning. Hope everyone is having a successful week! :flowerforyou:

@dinos, Didn't realize until now you were also doing C25K. I finished week5, day2 this morning.

Yay! Thanks for giving me another good reason to stick with it! Great info!
