There is a lot of good information here.... http://www.bikedfw.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=24&Itemid=26 There are several good biking clubs in the DFW area so just googled DFW biking and you can find lots of stuff. Good luck and welcome to the "neighborhood".

I log everything on the day I eat it but I use a spreadsheet to average all my numbers for the week and month. That way if I over do it one day then I can look at the average for the week and do better for a couple days to make up for it. This has really helped me see the big picture for what is happening over a month and…

I am 5'2' and about 4 months into this adventure. (SW 178; CW 160; GW 130) I have a spread sheet that averages all of my info for the month (calories in, exercise calories, net calories) so on average I eat about 1600, exercise 250 per day, so I NET about 1350 and am losing 3/4# per month. I hope for June I can lose at…

I was wondering how long you had to eat at the higher calories to break the plateau and then did you drop it back down? Thanks

I have been bouncing around with the same couple of pounds for the last 6 wks or so. Very irritating!! I upped my calories and a few other things but could not seem to get under 163/164. I finally took 3 days and just ate about 1000 calories each day or worked out so I netted 1000 calories. I am not a fan of eating this…

My point was when we booked a trip to Hawai for this summer and I did not want to look like a balloon in a swim suit. Plus, over the last year my husband lost about 35 lbs so I had to start keeping up with him. At this point I still have not talked about all of this with my outside family and friends. Obviously my family…

I have turned my entire calorie/weight/exercise information in to averages. I <3 Excel spreadsheets :) Instead of tracking everything by days I average everything and it has really helped me see the BIG PICTURE!! It is amazing to really look at all the data on one page and watch how things effects your body. Also, congrats…

I did a spread sheet last week to look at my weekly/monthly averages and it was very enlightening to be able to look at it in a whole instead of daily. I realized I was not eating the amount of calories I thought and it left me average the amount of calories I was burning during exercise. I work out 4 days a week and now I…

I would first double check my scale. Is it sitting level, fresh batteries etc? It is hard to believe you would really put on 11 lbs in one week unless you ate everyting in sight.

I weigh in and track my results every Friday moring. That is the "official" record of my weight. Now during the week I do weigh myself other times just to see what is going on. You have to understand that your weight through out the day can change but that does not mean you have "gained" weight. I can go eat a healthy 500…

One of my favorite snacks is to take some granola (the cereal kind has less calories) and put it in a bowl with a TBSP or 2 of peanut butter (depending on calories needing to use) and then put it in the microwave for about 30 seconds. The peanut butter gets soft and when you stir it , it coats all the granola and make a…

I can see a difference too. Good for you - keep up the good work and congrats

My goal is to lose 28 pounds by mid-July for a trip to Hawaii and then another 10-20 this fall. I started the beginning of February and have lost 11 so far. I just started working out (koko fit club) the first week in March so i am interested to watch my and everyone elses progress!!

Ok, I am new here and still reading through all of this info and all the numbers thrown around and I agree - it is confusing. I am just going to tell you how I worked out my numbers and that’s it. I learned that my BMR is about 1400 cal a day. That was important to me and made sense that my body needed at least that to…
