Hello Bikers, I started biking again the first week of June this year and come too really like it a lot. I usually drive to the trails around Omaha NE but sometimes on weekends the traffic is not bad and I just ride to a trails. I’m playing around with the idea of getting good riding cloths so I can ride during the winter.…

Top ten success stories and the best first post ever.

I ride a lot and I usually go on 17 mile or 25 mile rides. I use Runkeeper’s calorie burn because it automatically updates to MFP for me and the total is always less than what my HRM says. Usually my 25 mile rides (depending on the wind) is 1100 to 1300 and the 17 mile ride is (800 to 950). Once I get warmed up I try and…

I usually drink 12oz of black coffee to 16oz of water during the day. My totals are usually 36oz of coffee to 64oz of water from 7am to 4pm. I do slow down on coffee in the afternoon and I'm always well hydrated for my evening workout.

I’m curious if you could do it again would you still tell the management you are looking to leave for another job you just don’t know when? Usually you give a two week notice when you have a start date.

Meat should be weighed raw unless otherwise stated (as is often the case with bacon).

I noticed success in changing my cardio exercise to something different once in a while.

I used the Fitbit Ultra for a few months and it really did work great for motivation. Now I use Polar FT7 Heart Rate Monitor Watch/Strap and I use Runkeeper app. for running, walking and cycling. I use my HRM more for caloies burned the app works great for time and distance since it will pause when I stop at lights and…

I never log anything I actually did during the years I got fat, like walking, cleaning, standing, mowing ect..I only track real cardio activities that I do that will raise my heart rate.

I look at it like this, if I got fat doing it before I started really working out, it don't count.

I didnt have time to read the thread, so is the answer Adrian Peterson? =)

no carbs here I run on fuel injectors. =)

I saw Queen and Billy Squier in Kansas city in 1983+/- When I was 10 (1968) my brother let me go with him and a friend to see the Doobie Brothers in Omaha. I was scared when I saw people smoking for the first time. lol

I'd rather eat healthy before Thanksgiving =)

How do you hike 10 miles and only burn 500 calories? I think you left out a digit.

Riding around the block or the park is just like walking slow, it’s not a very good cal. burn. I love to ride or drive my bike to a trail after work or on weekends and RIDE HARD, last night I road 18 miles burned 1200 calories in 70 mins with a 10 – 20 mph wind.

^^^^ Well said, Thanks

You wear a HR strap and a watch and the manufacturer of the HRM will calculate the calories burned for you. Like someone said earlier, HRM calories burned is just an estimate based on a formula but the HR you see during the working is pretty accurate.

I follow you I just started up on my elliptical again after 4 months off because of summer running and biking. I found out I’m way more elliptical fit than I was four months.

45 min and only 311, I think you need to up the resistance a wee bit =)

What I’ve learned from my HRM is that the healthier I get the harder or longer I have to workout to burn the same amount of calories I did a few months ago.

My HRM and MFP are pretty close to the same number (650 to 700 an hour) but my elliptical (NordicTrack 990) has a much higher calorie burn (40% higher) plus the elliptical can read my HR. Now I wonder if my elliptical still thinks I weigh 270? lol

It don't sound like you will forever. =)

I was pretty heavy when I started running and I expected comments so I think it was why I would wear dark glasses and ear buds. If rude people don’t think you can hear them I don’t think they yell as much. I do yell at drivers that run stop signs on me though. =) I also solute drivers that stop or I really made them stop…

169 maybe ok but it all depends how fast it comes down when he stops, that's what they look for on a stress test.

Twenty years ago my mother In-law was watching her granddaughter who was 4 or 5 and she was singing a made up song with lyrics like “let it burn, let it burn let it burn” It turns out her home burnt down a few weeks before and that’s what she heard her father saying. Sorry not a ghost story only insurance fraud =)

I shave my head because I was going bald. We know, we can still see the hair line =)

A while back I was stuck at 230 so I did the 5:2 fasting where you fast two days a week (never back to back) and I went from 230 to 210 losing about 1 to 2 lbs a week. I still choose to do it once in a while when I have a higher than normal calorie weekend. So I do a 24 hour 500 calorie fast from Sunday evening after…

Also plain oatmeal and 60 sec from being done while boiling I crack a raw egg in it and mix.
