I had been at a standstill with my weight for 2-3 years. Slowly gaining a few pounds here and there but mostly maintaining. I just turned 49 but still on birth control so hormones are hopefully still in check. Doctor is taking me off them next year when I turn 50 so who knows what might happen! lol I finally broke my…

Yes, I always wear my shoes! Trying to ride without being clipped in is awful..... Shorts. I personally do not wear them especially since our spin class takes you in and out of the saddle so much... I would say wear the shorts if they make you more comfortable (maybe wear baggier shorts over the top of them)...…

If you are still losing inches then I do not think you have hit a plateau... The scale can be so deceiving and honestly just makes people grumpy and depressed! Continue with the lifting and taking measurements. All those NSV (non scale victories) can't be ignored.... Keep working it and congratulations!

Thank you for posting.

Tater Tots :) I can't seem to resist them.

bump.... I am interested in hearing what others have to say.. I have been trying to transition to a Primal diet but have not had carbs lower than 60-80 grams yet. So far I have not seen any difference in stamina during workouts...

Just started dabbling in a Primal diet. Hoping to lose some BF... Feel free to add me... I am also a Nebraska girl!

I bought my husband a Road ID bracelet one year for his birthday. He wears it every time he rides. http://www.roadid.com/Common/default.aspx

Thank you for posting this thread... Very inspirational! :drinker:

It's so tricky how all this works out and what seems to work for one person might not have the same outcome with another. I would say to figure your TDEE (which includes exercise) and then deduct 20%. A great site for figuring out how many calories you should be at is scoobysworkshop.com You could also figure out BMR and…

I agree. Don't quit! I work out on a regular basis and bootcamp kicks my *kitten* everytime! I can't keep up with everybody but I do what I can. Maybe convey your feelings to the instructor. They can work with you and help make modifications that work for you and your level. I look up to anybody that wants to workout and…

Make sure you are also taking measurements. The scale is not the only determining factor of progress! I would definitely continue with the weight training. If you absolutely don't want to weight train anybody may switch over to body weight excercises... Push ups, burpees, etc.... Losing fat and increasing/maintaining lean…

Would like to lower BF% to 26% Currently around 29%.... Number on the scale is not as important as the BF% - However 130 would be great.. CW 139...

Congratulations! You look fantastic.. I have also done a century bike ride and know from experience that it is not easy.. You ROCKED that time!! You are an inspiration to young and old.

Thank you for posting.. That's incredible. It really does bring it into perspective..

Just change your calorie goal to 1400 and adjust your settings to show 40% carb, 30% fat, 30% protein. MFP will then figure how many grams based on the percentages you entered.

The chili lime chicken burgers are a staple at my house! Soooo quick and easy. The Taziki (sp?) sauce is wonderful. I have even put it on the chicken burger :)

I agree that you are not eating enough... Figure out your TDEE and then -20%. Eat this everyday. You will not have to figure in exercise calories as they will already be figured in for you. If you are not currently weight training you might want to try adding that to your routine.

Great commitment to a lifetime of health and fitness! It is a great gift you are giving yourself. Congratulations on your loss so far!

I went to the doctor today and he said all symptoms point towards a torn rotator. He is recommending an MRI. Did you have an MRI done to validate the tear? I have quit doing any weight training that involves using the shoulder. I have still been able to do tricep and bicep exercises. Hoping I am not making things worse!…

I would say your calories are too low for all the calories you burn. You should check out the eatmore2weighless group here on fitness pal. Have you figured your TDEE? Maybe less cardio and more strength training. This is just my opinion. :)

I'm 5'3 139 lbs. I squat 115 3x8. I use a pad that wraps around the bar to cushion your neck/ shoulders. Don't know if I could do it without the pad.. Ouch!

Cathe has a great selection of videos. You can also get them as downloads to put on your computer, laptop, ipad, etc.... You will never be bored! If you get the downloads you can mix them together to make new workouts! http://www.cathedownloads.com/ http://cathe.com/

Thank you!

I also add berries and granola to my (plain) yogurt. Coconut oil in my coffee (I know it sounds gross but not too bad).. Maybe 1/2 - 1 tsp... A glass of skim milk Extra protein at dinner - I usually eat around 6 oz. of chicken, fish, etc.. at dinner. Oatmeal for breakfast - mix ins: protein powder, nuts, fruit

I had the body media fit. It is the version that syncs with your smart phone. I had nothing but non-stop problems! After a couple months of non stop calling to customer service I gave up!! I loved the data that it has to offer and felt that it was fairly accurate. I would use mine will weight lifting and also my heart rate…

Bump for reading later...

I started with New Rules of Lifting for Women (It is a book you can buy online or at the bookstore).. MFP also has an entire group set up for it. The bodybuilding.com workout looks good to me... I would just start with a weight that is comfortable for you to get through the sets and stated number of reps. Once you can…
