bump for later...great thread

Very inspiring! Congratulations! That's a lot of hard work and perseverance and you have great results to show for it...well done!!

My name is Colleen and I have a cycling problem. :-) But I have absolutely no intention of quitting! Ever!

For road riding you will probably be more comfortable and be able to ride longer on an actual road bike. Instead of 23's use 25's? Or start with an upright hybrid with 32cc tires. A hardtail mtn bike might be a tad unwieldy for road riding.

I would try the clip-ons for the TT, but (at least where I ride) aero bars are a definite NO NO in a paceline. Too sketchy. Good numbers on your TT time also, well done!

I would suggest adding some glutamine to your recovery shake. I use it and I SWEAR by it! I ride a lot and it's really really rare for me to have soreness in my legs. and I do a LOT of cycling. Is it safe to presume you are getting at least 2 rest days per week since your cycling is mostly commuting? Just keep at it, the…

My bike is my profile pic. I don't know how to make it bigger for you all to see. I LOVE my bike! It's a Serotta Fierte.

Great progress, I am also very close to 5'8" so your stats give me a framework for what to shoot for with my lifts. I need to get my lifts up!!

Congratulations on your loss! That's great. Good kick start. Maybe it's time to add in a little more food? I've been going through the same thing. I started a new nutrition plan and the pounds were falling off but man I feel so tired and hungry all the time. My neighbor is doing JC and oh. my. gosh. I'm sorry but the food…

wow!!! Thud!! You look amazing! Look out ladies!!!!

It's an eye opener to read anti-gun replies from some Brits. You have become good citizens of the regime, bravo!Do you have a lot of faith and trust in your government? A responsible, armed citizen could have stopped this attack. The terrorists know the streets of London are a target-rich environment. They can hack to…

Too bad there was not an armed citizen nearby who could have helped this poor man. Lord have mercy.

amazing! What a difference...You look great!

It's pretty much the first place I lose also, and I don't have much to lose in that area...now my hips and tummy, that's another story. However, I don't mind the loss because I feel like smaller boob-age is attractive and goes well with an overall fit, lean, athletic look which is one of my goals as far as aesthetics.

I read something about cheese once and it stuck in my brain as true....."Think of cheese like modified butter" It's ok to eat butter, but you will be in trouble if you eat a whole stick. Used in moderation and as more of a garnish rather than the main course, it's fine.

I would say that's a bad thing. Fat is essential for a healthy body, obviously too much fat is bad thing though. Have you tried coconut oil? It's vegan and quite tasty.

I have an UP band, been using it for a little over a month now. I would like to add more team members, if you are interested message me and add me to your team. Thanks! Colleen

I will talk about my diet if someone asks, or with other fitness friends, otherwise I don't cuz I don't want to bore people.

Go girl!! I wish I could squat like that

bump...gonna make this tomorrow...tonight's meal is already in the crockpot

I made these for my supper tonight. Very good and naturally sweet so it didn't need any syrup The only bananas I had were frozen but I just defrosted one and it blended easily with the eggs. Next time I will try some of the additions I've seen in the thread. I could have used more protein so a scoop of protein powder would…

bump! I just discovered cauliflower rice and this pizza looks great!
