Hi thanks for all the help, as far as how high my heart rate goes, today on my bike ride going up hill it went to 139 and I was able to keep it in my target zone for 56 mins of a 1 hour 3 min ride so that was good. Yes I have red the manual, it was not so much with the Polar I was having issues, It was more with the fact…

Love pumpkin and pudding so this is a win win...thanks:happy:

We can ride year round here in southern California, so no putting it away for me, put lights on the front and a tail light on the rear and have begun riding at night to get used to daylight savings time.

Hi xAmberJamber, the same thing happened to me when I got out of onederland, I saw the 200's a few more times due to the fluctuations that you are talking about, but then when you get to about 195 it seems that you do not see that 200 # any more, I have been in Onderland since July of this year, and I just went under 190…

I noticed a change the closer I get to 20 lbs loss, but I have lost a lot of inches also, it really depends on the person, so the answers will vary...I can still wear all my old clothes its just they are getting looser.

I agree with Temira, do not give up, things happen in all sports, but we need to keep on going, Im not trying to be insensitive about it at all, I know its hard to lose a friend, but please just make sure you wear your helmet, and watch out for traffic, be aware of cars that around you, I find if i get eye contact with…

This is so motivating to read as I am trying to get off bp meds, diabetes meds, and lower my cholesterol meds...so thanks for this post as a healthy reminder of what all this work can do, you are living proof!

I have to agree with Jacksonpt do what works out for you, I am doing it for fitness and so I ride 3-4 days a week with my husband, we are not training for anything, and oh my gosh my husband wears JEANS sometimes ( I heard this was like a biking NO NO) lol...lol... We do use endomondo and its fun to see just how much…

This was amazing reading all these posts, I really never thought about getting a TT to rid myself of this drooping (apron) tummy skin, did you know the surgeon you chose? or can you tell me how you decided on the one you went with. I too look forward to reading how your progress is also....oh and btw you look radiant :)…

You have all been so helpful, I think I may be checking out that Health-o-Meter one, I really just want the basic weight, but having 2 different people to track will be nice, again thanks I knew that, all of the MFP people would have the answers... I still agree with them being evil too!!!!!!!!

Some great suggestions thanks

My husband and I are biking together and have been for about 7 weeks now, we do not have the best bikes, but after a tune up they are better and I so look forward to riding when he gets home from work a few days a week and we usually take a longer ride on the weekends, yes we wear helmets and as far as the seats hurting…

My husband and I are new to bike riding and one of the first things we did after we got the bikes was to get helmets, we do not care what we look like as most everyone we see riding by us on the trail we ride on has one on also...this is a good reminder thanks for this post...Sorry about your 16 yo neighbor

I had only joined FB like 6 months ago, and this site is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY better, I love getting the support from friends, and I log my food and exercise faithfully, its so motivating, plus if you have certain interests you can join a team for that as well....oh I too am on this off and on from morning till…

SoCal (San Diego)

My husband and I are new into bikes, and have used bikes that will have to do until we stick with this for a while and can get some bikes that are new, so until then....ok some of you will just gasp when I say I ride a HUFFY.....ok kick me off the site now for saying it...lol...lol...but anyway I was not even going to buy…

Hi yes at times its frustrating, I have been on here since the end of March and lost about the same amount as you, its been slow, and with all the increased exercise, I would see the scale go up and down, I was also driving myself (and my husband crazy) weighing daily, so I hid the scale under the bed and just weigh about…

Yes I am on it, have been for about 2 months now, as far as weight loss in my case it has not helped me, I am on a low dose though (500 mg 2 x a day) What dose are you on, maybe that makes a difference, I am diabetic and that is why I was put on it, but as I lose weight I am going to be getting off it, since I have been…

Went to Pilates this morning and shopped at Costco on the way home, I did not buy the black licorice that tasted so great (I had a sample sized piece) and then ran for the checkout :)

Ditto on these two statements...

Sounds good, I will have to work my way to getting that, thanks!

Give it time, I have been doing this for almost 3 months and have lost 12 lbs, but it you are doing a lot of exercise it can take time for your body do adjust to that, I have read on these message boards, it can take 3 weeks for the body to adjust to a change. 1 lb is great, it was a loss and that is a step in the right…

I will record the losses mostly, but after reading this will probably change that... I had a gain recently that kept going on a long time, I was in a plateau because I was adding new exercises to my routine....and was obsessively weighing myself, I hid the scale last Thursday and so today I got the scale our and was so…

Thanks Cloggsy fpr the heads up on the places to get iphone holders, it seems that this biking is getting to be a expensive thing if you are not careful...I LOVE IT!!!!!! I have so many things I want, first of all is tires as I am riding a mtn bike on roads, and have been told it will be a lot easier with road tires...

Its been a lot of years but I nursed my youngest till she was 3 and breast milk was her main source of nutrition so much so that she did not really need to eat baby food at 6 months I just gave her a little cheerios, so she felt like she was involved when we were eating meals and she was in a highchair. Good for you to be…

I am on here all the time too, its the first thing I do in the morning and the last thing before bed, I also am loving exercising I find myself wanting to do more and more and to vary it. I think its good to aspire to get yourself more healthy, even if it seems like we are developing obsessions along the way.

What a shame that your husband does that with the candy and the fast food, not sure why he is doing it other then what others have said, he thinks he is being nice and does not realize what you are doing for YOU. I have had to remove all or most sweet things, like cookies they are my weakness, if the stuff is not there is…
