Me too, please add me.

add me too please

I'm good there luckily. Only one of those links worked and it was above my scientific knowledge. I think it was a chemical breakdown of one or several hormones or something. The phosphorus present in colas, sugared or artificially sweetened, can have a negative effect on bone health, especially in women, if it is part of…

Okay, so I went on and read on diet sodas as a whole because we have a lot of picnics coming up. Though the sweeteners break down in the body, they may cause a craving for sweet things according to this WebMD article: https://blogs.webmd.com/diabetes/2017/10/should-you-ditch-diet-sodas.html Furthermore, they are as…

My word. Do I feel the idiot! For years and years I have been going this way and that on the safety if “fake sugars”. At this point they know less about the long tetm effects of whole stevia (not Reb a - the processed stuff) than aspartame! Thank you for educating me. For someone who prides myself on always thinking…

AnvilHead, you are right. I used the wrong word. What I meant is that it causes spikes in blood sugar, which in diabetics is not a good thing (though agave doesn't spike as much as the rest which is what my daughter's pediatrician recommended we use for her). I notice that I should have proofread my post. I must have had…

I tried to delete this but I could not. I have found my answer here: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/truvia-good-or-bad#section3

Thanks

Seahorsepenguin I also find the longer I ride, the more effort has to go in to get to the same heart rate intensity. I can only measure this on a stationary bike at the gym for now during interval sets. I know I work harder on my actual bike because of my size, but even two hour rides don't tire me as much any more.

Wow, what a great answer. Thanks. I will look into Strava.

Wow 4000 miles are great. Did you eat back all the calories or how dit you manage it? I have trouble knowing when to stop eating at times and use the calorie count as a guide. But I am also afraid of eating more than I need just because the numbers fit. How fid you do it?

Maybe. That's an idea

Thanks. I guess it always comes down to how you feel. How tired you sre after a ride and hiw hungry the next day. I think I might just use the scooby calculator and eat a consistent amount a day and not eat exercise calories. I don't like doing it that way as it takes away motivation to ride. Haha.

Anyone?

Me: 14* LNS: 6 Streak: 1 I lost count and heart a bit. However, I am ready to go for a 10 day streak. The numbers above is about 5 days old. I am not adding to it but I want to say that this challenge helped me AT LEAST 15 (today was good!) days out of 30. That is great! That is 15 days that I did not indulge in late night…

Not to negate your progress, but you are beautiful at any weight by the looks of those pictures. You have a classic beauty about you. Congratulations on your success. I am on the same kind of try and fail and try again journey. I hope I can post here in a year or so like you.
