YES, YES, and YES. I ride daily (almost daily), and I never leave home without it. Like a seatbelt in my car. A close friend of ours ended up with 18 stitches and a severe concussion without a helmet. It was terrifying. My kids get their bikes taken away for a week if they are caught without one...

Coffee for me too. For some reason Starbucks seems to work instantly...

It is possible girls- I was on medication- Glucophage, spirolactone, birth control pills, and two medications for blood pressure. I have lost 52 lbs., and have been taken off of ALL of those meds. Now, I will say it has taken a while- I started in January. I also am still stuck with more belly fat, and a higher body fat…

Started at 210 in January 2012 162 as of today 8/14/2012 Goal is under 150, although I am currently wearing a smaller size than I did in college at 145. I am 5'4, so could probably go lower, but am choosing to focus on fitness rather than the scale. I have packed some serious muscle onto my legs biking, and I know that…

Two problems lately: Greek yogurt and hard boiled eggs. My husband has been stealing my yogurt lately... Chobani Greek yogurt. It is MINE! He even commented that it didn't taste very good (he likes the sugary stuff). If it doesn't taste good, don't eat it! I like it, and I want to eat it! I also like a hard boiled egg for…

I did some more research and I think I answered my own question- According to WebMD, you can get heat cramps in your abdominal muscles and in back muscles. It was incredibly hot this evening and I haven't had enough water today. I had water on the bike, but didn't drink enough throughout the day. I was sweating a TON, and…

Hi Gingersnap- I can't deal with high impact stuff either- Tried running and my knees and ankles just aren't happy. I played soccer in college and I think I did them in! 1. I log everything I put in my mouth. 2. I try to exercise 6 days a week. I do 30-90 minutes of cardio- depending on how much time I have. On a bad or…

I am 5'4. Starting weight was 210 in January. I am currently at 164. I'd like to get below 150. But, I have to say 164 feels great!!! More importantly, I have been taken off of two blood pressure medications and an insulin sensitizing medication. Current BP (no meds) is 110/68. Resting heart rate- 58 beats per minute.…

Thank you to everyone... Several great ideas :) My Grandma called tonight and said she has a 30% off at Kohl's... Dockers have always fit well before. So, I'm hoping for some luck there. If not, I'm going to buy some 10 regulars and have them hemmed. I've got 15 lbs to go, so I'm hoping I might not lose a whole lot more…

Thursday 8/2- 10 miles Saturday 8/4- 14 miles Total for August so far: 24 miles I set my goal at 200 for the month, which seems doable right now. But, I'm a teacher and school starts next week. I'm hoping to still get to 200 though :)

I've had my road bike since May and I love it :) I average 10-12 miles each time I ride, and average 14-15 mph. I'm going to commit to riding 200 miles this month. I'm new to myfitnesspal. Is there somewhere that you log your miles for the challenge?
