  • Hi and Congrats on becoming a cyclist! I'm also a cyclist and just started about a year ago. Cycling does burn a ton of calories so you do want to make sure you eating enough to keep up the energy on long rides. I usually try to get some good carbs and protein about 30-45 mins before a long ride (40+ miles). Then I always…

  • Hi and welcome aboard!! Just a couple things you can try is on days when it's not so busy try cooking extra and having leftovers the next day or freezing for another day.

  • If your HRM has a chest strap and you entered in your weight, height, etc. correctly then the HRM is most likely correct. I worked out an hour on the tredmill today and it said almost 700 calories burned but my HRM said 594 a big difference. Also remember the more you workout and get more physically fit the harder it is to…

  • I have a perm too but I don't worry and go ahead and sweat during my workout! Since I just wash, blow dry & flat iron it's not a big issue for me. The only thing is I do have to wash it a few times a week especially in the summer!!

  • The way I started was I would walk for a minute then run for 30 seconds then I got up walk 1 min and run 1 min and so on from there. Now I do it by distance. I will walk for .15 miles then I run for 1.5 miles. I'm trying to work up to running 3 miles without stopping.

  • The most accurate HRM are the ones that have a chest strap and also ask for weight, age, height & sex. These will monitor your HR at all times. We can be the same weight and go the same distance but burn a different amount of calories.

  • Your body may have gotten used to the same workout all the time. Maybe give yourself a challenge to bump that up to 3 miles in 60 mins then 3.5 and so on. That way you are challenging yourself more and burning some more calories. You will be amazed at what you can do now that you are 60lbs lighter!!

  • I really don't like cold water so I find I can drink it alot easier if I warm it in the microwave for about a minute. I know sounds crazy but it works for me and I am getting well over my 8 cups a day now.

  • I burn between 600-700 when I workout at the gym. Usually I do tredmill and stationary bike. I burn between 900-1500+ when I ride my bike outside. It just depends on how many miles I do.
    in How Many calories do you burn a day? Comment by piccolarj February 2011
  • I took a quick look at your diary and your sodium levels are very high and I don't see many fruits and veggies. Just remember it's not just about staying within your calories but also choosing the right kinds of foods. May try adding in some fresh fruits and veggies, keeping your sodium levels at least under 1800 and…

  • I lost weight my first week. A total of 6 pounds. What keeps me going is I know I don't want to live like this any more. I'm tired of being fat and I know I have the power to change that. You just have to remind yourself why you started this journey and see it through to the end.
