You are a very attractive young woman and your weight loss accentuates it. Love the before and after re donut vs. the gym!

All of the above are excellent suggestions (moderate drinking of course) I am a puzzle person myself, the 1500-2000 pieces kind; and a reader. depending upon the natural of his surgery, he may be kept busy with physical therapy, which is a good thing too. He may also enjoy building models-- cars airplanes, tanks, etc.

This! I'm 60, 4'11" and I consume between 1600-1800 cals daily to fuel 20-30 mile bike rides. You age but you don't have to rot!!

I'm in South Carolina outside of Charleston GO Gamecocks!!

OP, thank you for posting this topic. I do not suffer from IBS but my husband does, and has for many years. He recently went through a particularly bad bout of it and his weight dropped from 146 to 141 (he's 5"8"). He was prescribed bentel (sp?) and it seems to help. The more severe bouts appear to be triggered by stress…

We will all be built to last a 1000 years.

Check out this web site: www.bikefit.com Also search on "Bicycling Magazine." they periodically have reviews of saddles. Talk to cyclists in your area and the gang in the bike shops. Think about what is comfortable with your current saddle on your CAAD 8, and what isn't. Where do you sit on your saddle-- I tend to sit on…

I flew from NYC (when I lived there) to Chicago to meet a friend from Cali. Like a couple of other posters said, it is really about how close you are to your friend.

I use the FattoFit calcs. Best wishes and good luck on your fitness goals!

OP-- Personally I don't think slight variances over or under matter. You could look at your net calories consumed and expended weekly and average them out. If on average you are hitting 1800, then it shouldn't be a problem for you. The downside of "slight variances" is in the actuals. How "slight", how often, and sweating…

Hi, I calculated my TDEE using the moderately active factors (1.5 and 1.6). Rounding the results, I net within 1400-1600 cals daily depending upon my energy expenditure. I cycle daily for anywhere between 15-20 miles, and I don't count calories for weight training (I am still working out a program for myself so at this…

Awwww, poor lil fella. This thread is great

Me too! I will start maintenance when i loose a cinder block Fun chart, OP. Thanks!

I think once you are to a point where fitness and weight management are not akin to an out of body experience, that is, integrated into your psyche, the essence of who you are, then you will not experience it as an obsession.

When a ticket to a Stones concert cost $3.00 and it cost HOW MUCH now?

Please confirm this with a vet first, but: I had a pitbull that ate socks. It was so bad I had store my socks and stockings in another higher drawer. A vet recommended to me to give her a tablespoon of peroxide and wait about 10-15 mins, then another tablespoon, and wait for her to upchuck the sock(s). It worked. It was…

Good observation-- I've seen this more in the forum threads than among my MFP or personal friends.

I have no doubt OP that your grandmother said those things to you. I don't know how old she is, but I will tell you that the grandparents that I hang with (i'm 60) are the last people on earth that would give that kind of advice to their adult children or young adult grand children. Since you were taken aback by this…

I'm married now and happy, but this best sums up my relationship/single life.

Gorgeous dogs! I think you're right. Alot of people don't know what a lean dog looks like. All the vets I know work so hard with their clients to help them slim down their dogs and cats.

Wow. You must see it all with the owners. I took an into to agility class with my pit and it was quite a work out and lots of fun for both of us. She's powerfully built and excelled at many elements and a couple of the others -- running in and out of the poles in a line were a challenge.

Eloquently stated.

If I were going by looks alone, you have a strong resemblance to a male friend of mine who is Basque via Cuba I lived and worked in Manhattan and among my friends and colleagues you really couldn't guess one's ethnicity by either their physical appearance (except for those falling into various racial categories and even…

<'My pitbull Bonnie's weight is around 65 lbs, and the vet rated her "5" on the 1-9 body shape chart. For a 7 yr old neutered female she is at a good weight. You all have beautiful pooches. Wow.

If you read it now, it would answer your question.

Hi, I'm 60. I cycle about 20 miles daily, and enjoy other sports. My focus is improving my fitness level, reducing BF% and weight loss. Please anyone can add me if they maintain open diaries and net at least 1200 cals daily; and dedicated to feeling GREAT about themselves.

Very true and an inspiration. Nice to see compassion here for a change.

If you have a tablet, you can purchase the app "You're Your Own Gym." You use your body weight for weight training. You can build your weight training program and track your progress with it.

This! Egads! This behavior isn't tolerated in my work environment. Wow.

I use Endomondo Tracker for cycling. I have two apps on my tablet -- JEFIT Pro for managing weight lifting work, and You Are Your Own Gym. The latter is great for weight lifting work using your body weight and you don't have a gym available.
