You'll get used to it after a few weeks. I vary what I do but I'll spend 10-15 hours a week on a spin bike with no padding.

Wow, now I want to go running on all protein to experience that :D

For a moment I thought you may be mad at a barbell in the UK :)

They have Monday Pizza Night. I for one thought that was brilliant. Job security! What city and state are you in? Costco has $250 2-year memberships for 24HF. When it ends wait a couple of months and re-join. And here in Vegas we have a local chain called Las Vegas Athletic Club which is under 20 and awesome. I can find…

Today.

Mine gets here on Saturday :D Wonder what the difference will be with the Polar V800. Have the Mio Link so I can use both at the same time.

I could not get it to consistently connect to my HR monitor, it would drop on and off, and finally gave up and returned it. The Vivofit will be here Saturday.

That's how I started the loss of 115 lbs. I was out of shape and obese (230 lbs, 5'4"), so I did 5 minutes, then 10 minutes, then 15 minutes, then a Full Ironman :) It all escalated from there. Ellipticals don't really have a speed, I just went as fast as I could. It's fun to think about speeds and resistance and all that…

From reading about caloric calculations for years, I just use 25 calories per 100m.

:laugh:

Thanks :) The doctor actually told me I shouldn't run ever again and I went to Facebook contemplating a life without running and came to the conclusion that I would miss it dearly but I could live a life with just Spin and BodyPump (he said ride to my heart's content). Then through Facebook I heard about people having…

I was hit from behind by a car while doing a charity century ride (mile 33) on the 3rd of May and it's still going to be a few weeks until I can work out. Coincidentally while being checked out for the accident they found I had a cracked spine and 2 slipped discs (pre-existing, I've had symptoms for years, but it's mostly…

[/Close Thread] Something I've noticed is that the only people who seem to initiate contact are those fitter than me (I lost half my body weight but there's always someone fitter than you). So there's always the feel of look at the poor person working out let's encourage them. If I can (i.e. able to breath, etc.), I…

I get what you're saying, I lost half my bodyweight (started at 230 lbs at 5'4") and people don't like my answer "diet and exercise" when they ask me how I did it. I have a co-worker who asks me tips all the time and then I see her eating junk all night at work. She spends a lot of time talking to me about special protein…

I'm a binge eater and after losing 118 lbs I re-gained 30 while still working out ~15 hours a week (training for an Ironman). This December-January I also got sick and lost most of my cardio and muscle mass. Recommitted myself, stopped binge-eating (through going sugar-free, no processed or added sugar or artificial…

I've trained for triathlons for years and have put in hundreds of miles on roads, trails, paths, all kinds of roadways and terrains, outdoors, outodoor tracks, indoor tracks, treadmills. I really want a treadmill at home :) The Garmin 910XT has alarms but I like to run towards the top of the range close to the max without…

Not really safe to use the road when training by heart rate and have to keep a watch on your heart rate. Nice to be in a controlled space.

At 5'4" and 105 lbs her BMI is 18.0. At 5'2" that would be 98.5 lbs.

I was a binge eater my whole life. June 1999 dad falls down the stairs, hits his head, dies. I go from 230 lbs to 215 lbs. Someone turned off the binge switch and turned on the exercise switch. That was 1999-2012. 2012-2013 trained and did an Ironman. Started binging again on April 2013 and gained 30 lbs back even though I…

It's how I started running on January 2010. I could barely run 30 SECONDS straight when I started. Since then I've done a marathon, an Ironman, two Half Ironman, two Half Marathons, and a bunch of smaller runs/triathlons. It works.

5'4, 121 lbs, ~20%-ish (per those handheld scales).

5'4" :) Highest: 230 lbs Started working out 7/3/09: 215 lbs Current: 117 lbs Lowest: 112 lbs Ultimate goal weight: 107.5 lbs Have my first Half Ironman this Saturday (I'm a hobby-triathlete), then a week completely off or light working per what coach puts on the schedule, then I start a 9-week until the end of the year…

And, my NYGW is my UGW (Ultimate Goal Weight). Last weigh-in was 117 lbs. Heaviest 230 lbs, I had gotten to 112 lbs and gained some back. I want to stay at 107.5 forever unless I'm baking something in the oven :) I lift weights. It's possible to lift weights, gain muscle, and lose lbs, because you lose body fat. 5'4". I…

I'm in! I'm a triathlete and have an event sat and then I'm taking a week off with no workouts so I will start on 10/30/12, 9 weeks until the end of the year. CW: 119 lbs GWNY: 107.5 lbs

I want in! CW: 119 lbs NYGW: 107.5 lbs

I haven't, but honestly, all you need is real food. I try to stay off as many supplements as possible. I'm a triathlete and post-workout I've started doing either a chocolate milk or two Greek yogurts, no shakes or stuff like that. The ONLY time I use "supplements" are Perpetuem when I bike over 40 miles as you need liquid…
