Re: what I eat on refeed days, we usually go to a chinese buffet (gross, right? but so delicious and protein full!) and I get lots of salmon, sushi, pork roast, potatoes, etc (I have trouble digesting gluten and lactose, though, so I skip the noodles and have only one or two chinese donuts and rice flour brownies,) and…

totally get what you're saying. My cheat/refeed days take place on Fridays, (which, like I said, is when I load up on carbs before a 20 mile bike ride) and then the rest of the day is trying to hit a protein goal of 150-175g (normal 115) and carbs of around 300g (my normal is 150g daily). How I get to those goals (via my…

Thank you so much for answering my question---in a very simple, understandable way! So, is once a week "cheat day"/refeed (mine is usually at maintenance or a little above, like you said, although it is on the day where I do my 900 cal bike ride,) sufficient or too often? I know that for extreme deficits, Lyle McDonald…

Whoo Hoo---I'm first! Took August and September off from logging (but still cycling 3x week) and am now ready to log again. My goal is 175 miles, mostly indoor stationary but hopefully some outdoor, too! I also have an indoor mini-triathalon that I'm on a team for at the end of the month and I can't wait to put all my…

Totally agree. It sounds like you feel very stressed/anxious about this. It wouldn't hurt to talk to a doctor about everything that's going on, including how much you exercise, to see if he/she has some suggestions.

Normally I would agree with the above posters about not being accurate BUT I do agree with a couple of "been there, done that" nursing mothers who have chimed in. I am nursing a 4 month old and have a similar story about how I lost all my weight quickly and have stalled despite several different calorie config. At first I…

I'm in! Hit my 150 indoor and 25 outdoor last month and am going to go for 100 indoor and 40 outdoor this month!

Finished up my indoor miles but it rained this morning so I will have to do my final 4.25 miles on a coffee run first thing tomorrow morning! July Goal: 150 miles indoors, 25 miles outdoors July Miles to Date: 152.5 miles indoors 20.75 mi outdoors July 31---5.5 mi (outdoors 35 min) AND 11.5 spin bike (30 min) July 30---5…

Almost there! Might give myself an extra day to reach my goals since I'm *so* close! July Goal: 150 miles indoors, 25 miles outdoors July Miles to Date: 141 miles indoors 15.25 mi outdoors July 30---5 mi (outdoors again! 35 min) July 29---5 mi (outdoors!!! about 35 min) July 25---21 mi (stationary 93min) July 24---10.25mi…

Catching up--forgot to tally the last week or so and then I went on vacation. Trying to really get those outdoor miles in before the month is up!!! July Goal: 150 miles indoors, 25 miles outdoors July Miles to Date: 141 miles indoors 10.25 mi outdoors July 29---5 mi (outdoors!!! about 35 min) July 25---21 mi (stationary…

Two more rides in, hit my indoor goal for this week and am going to try and get a trail ride in this weekend! July Goal: 150 miles indoors, 25 miles outdoors July Miles to Date: 101.75 miles indoors 5.25 mi outdoors July 19---24 mi (spin bike and stationary combo 86 min) July 17---5 mi (stationary 20 min) July 14--- 5.25…

So sorry to hear about those dogs! Good for you for not letting it stop you, though!

Awesome! Can't believe he planned to ride 40 miles home, though! He must live pretty far away, lol.

Finally got outside! Had a few rookie mistakes (chain slips) but got a good 5.25 miles in. Heading out to the greenway tomorrow to do my "short ride" for the week. =) July Goal: 150 miles indoors, 25 miles outdoors July Miles to Date: 72.75 miles indoors 5.25 mi outdoors July 14--- 5.25 mi outdoors (around 30 min) July…

Got my first 90 minute ride in; from this point since I've reached my time goal, my weekly long ride will be an increase in miles/speed, not minutes. Really hoping to hit the greenway this weekend after my hubby fixes my tube! July Goal: 150 miles indoors, 25 miles outdoors July Miles to Date: 72.75 miles indoors July…

Very excited: I am now training for the biking leg of a team mini-tri at our gym, so I'm focusing on getting the best time for 10 miles. Not so exciting: I tried to bike outside a few days ago and my tube popped, so I don't have any outdoor miles yet =( July Goal: 150 miles indoors, 25 miles outdoors July Miles to Date: 53…

Got another stationary ride in but the rain kept me from getting out on the trail this weekend. =( July Goal: 150 miles indoors, 25 miles outdoors July Miles to Date: 42 miles indoors July 8---7 mi stationary (30 min) July 5---18.5 mi stationary (85 min) July 3----10 mi stationary (45 min) July 1----6.5 mi stationary (30…

great job! I can't wait until I can post a number like that!!!!

awesome! welcome! You sound like me about 3 years and 2 kids ago. We used to take our 2 girls out in the trailer a lot but now that we have 4 (and the older one is actually better suited for a trail-a-bike,) we don't get out on family rides much anymore. I hope next summer we can have her on a big bike, my will-be-then 4…

Got all 3 rides in this week and going to try to get outside for a few miles this weekend! July Goal: 150 miles indoors, 25 miles outdoors July Miles to Date: 35 miles indoors July 5---18.5 mi stationary (85 min) July 3----10 mi stationary (45 min) July 1----6.5 mi stationary (30 min)

Make sure you take measurements/pics before you get pregnant, lol. But seriously, I know what you're talking about---I just had baby #4 and am at my lowest weight/measurements/clothing size ever. As long as a person learns how to be healthy and fit, it doesn't matter what life throws at you, you can maintain what you've…

Awesome that you came back to update! You are so right---arbitrary numbers are just that, arbitrary. I truly believe that everyone has that moment where they say to themselves, "This is the shape/size/tone that I wanted all along and I am happy to be this for the rest of my life." At that point, you step on the scale and…

Alrighty, ready to get outside this month! Aiming for 3 indoor rides (about 35 mi total) and 1 outdoor ride (about 5-10 miles on a trail) each week. So I guess that comes out to 150-175 for the month. Big goals = big results, right? =) July Goal: 150 miles indoors, 25 miles outdoors July Miles to Date: 6.5 miles indoors…

LOL! good response

I got kind of intimidated reading through the measurements but thought I'd throw mine in just to even the curve, lol. Height: 5'5 and a half (that half actually makes a difference in the BMI!) 146lbs bust 36 waist 28.5 hips 39.5 I am 2 months postpartum and working on getting my waist to about 27 inches, but I'm pretty…

finishing out the month strong! June Goal: 75 miles June Miles to Date: 93 mi June 28---16 miles (80 min stationary) June 26---11.25mi (51 min stationary) June 24---6.25mi (30 min stationary) June 21---15 mi (75 min stationary) June 19---10 mi (45 min stationary) June 16---6 mi (30 min stationary) June 12-- 13 mi (60 min…

Looks like I'll be able to knock this goal out in the next week with just another long ride. Not bad for starting a third of the way through the month! June Goal: 75 miles June Miles to Date: 65.75 mi June 24---6.25mi (30 min stationary) June 21---15 mi (75 min stationary) June 19---10 mi (45 min stationary) June 16---6 mi…
