Dave - Sorry no miles to add today - but did hit the gym for 60 min and worked in the yard pulling weeds for 105 min. Too bad we can't tack those on to help beat the big Goal. K80flec - Yes, thanks - our weather has been glorious! But you can get that bike out on some of your less windy days! OK? Maybe…

Are you exercising any? Some days i am just starving and i know it sounds nuts, but when i am - i do some type of exercise for sure. I usually do anyway, but on those days that i am so hungry - i do something extra - and that gives me more calories to eat back. For me, it works, but just like selfepidemic said - i could…

Another beautiful day here. Didn't think i was going to ride - but the weather won out. October 28th - 13.6 miles October total - 425.4 miles OVER Goal!!! Come on movers - you have 3 more days - you can do it!

A couple of months ago we decided that we wanted to get either a blender or a juicer. So.......we bought and returned about 4 ! At first we thought the Nutribullet - was just the thing....NO...too small. So we got the Ninja blender.....well, No - because we then thought what we really wanted was a juicer....so we got a…

Wow! Beautiful, gorgeous day for a ride. 77-80 degrees - blue skies - Its why people move to Southwest Florida! And i blew my goal out of the water! Made goal and a few....... October 27th - 22 miles October to Date - 411.8 miles Goal 400 To Go - Zero Come on - all the rest of you - you have 4 more days to do it - you can…

Coffee with half and half and stevia - 3 cups Oatmeal with blueberries, a bit of flax seeds and small amount of protein powder All super yummy and i will repeat like - everyday!

I cycle too and am a female so i know i don't burn as many calories as you, but 2500 seems excessive for a 25 mile bike ride. I don't use a HRM but i do sort of go by MFP calories burned with an exception. I know that MFP overestimates calories burned for cycling, so if i average 16.3 for a 25mile bike ride, i will count…

So many great looking places, but i don't know if most are in the US or somewhere else in the world. Could posters put in the country too? I want to go to all of them!!

Zone Perfect - Many good ones, but my favorite is Fudge Graham - 2nd place Dark Chocotate. Honestly - they are so good - like eating a candy bar - super treat!

Got my ride in early today. Cool for here - 66 degrees! Guess that sounds good for a lot of movers. Oct 25th 22.5 miles October to date 389.8 To Go - 10.2 Goal 400

Just a few maintenance miles today - but good to get some in! October 24th - 13.7 miles October to date - 367.3 To Go - 32.7 Goal -400 Great day for moving - keep it up everyone!

Well, i love exercise! But not all exercise....Not running - hard on my knees and - well - i am just not good at it. Gave that up many years ago. But found cycling. Totally different. I am good at cycling. And it is good for weight loss. So this works. I am competitive too and am always trying to go faster - again good for…

Do you Log all of your calories? It sounds like you might be eating too much. I know i can't have sandwiches and stay within my calorie limit. Need to know that as that is paramount for weight loss.

Its ok to vent. You help us to vent with you. I am really pleased with my weight loss in 5 1/2 months. I have actually reached my first goal, but can't put it down because i have fluctuated between 131 and 129 for 26 days now! Back and forth. And i have been good calorie wise. I generally eat more than the 1200 because i…

JAWS - i live near the beach and haven't been the same since!

Got a few more miles in today. October 23 - 20 miles at 16.5 avg. October to date - 353.6 miles To Go - 46.4 miles Goal - 400

Coffee with half and half and stevia Oatmeal Vanilla whey protein powder Unsweetened Almond Milk flax seeds blueberries red grapes banana spinach Abbott Fudge Graham Zone Bar And 4-5 days a week Chicken breast Broccoli or asparagus or green beans more blueberries I could probably have the same menu everyday for months and…

Yep - thats me! When i am cycling and someone comes from behind - and passes me ~~~ well - unless its some young fit guy - i will pick up my pace and often end up passing them. It just puts a little spice in your life!

YES! It works - if you play by the rules. Log everything that goes into your mouth Get a food scale and weigh food - most people are not great at estimating Exercise will help, although MFP says its not necessary to lose weight - but do it and you you have better results, get fitter and - Biggee here - be able to eat more!…

Did more cycling than planned today! Got out early and met up with another cyclist and ended up going fast for 26.6 miles Then went with Hubby later on 16 more miles. October 21st - 42.6 miles October to date -333.6 miles To Go - 66.4 miles Goal - 400 miles

Does it hurt on the inside of your foot, under the ankle bone? If so, it could be the posterior tibial tendon. That is the tendon that supports your arch. No, i am not a physician - but i have this problem. It happens more to women with flat feet (which i have always had). I wore the boot for almost 2 months and then…

Forget the oatmeal. I love oatmeal and have it every morning, but not in my smoothies. This smoothie i have Everyday after exercise. 3/4 cubes of ice 1 banana 1/2cup frozen maine blueberries (Costco) 3/4 cup red grapes 1/2 scoop whey protein powder Blend Blend again add more and more ice No water, no juice I like it frosty…

LuLu ~ Thanks so much - perfect. I do like to give myself credit.

A bit off track here, but my question is definitely gym related. I have just started going to the gym (again) and i would like to log the calories burned. But i don't want to go through and put down each machine. Does anyone know if there is a way to just log a general gym - machine workout? I just went and was pretty…

Gotta do it everyday - before eating or drinking. And i usually weigh myself after exercising - just for kicks - i know its not real, as i could be slightly dehydrated. And i am a person that would Never weigh before i started MFP. And it took me about a month after starting here to have the nerve to weigh everyday. Now…

I find that i do eat about 50-70% of my exercise calories back. I do exercise a lot ~ usually 1.5 to 3 hours a day. I vary it a little bit. I cycle - pushing myself about 5-6 days a week at a pace averaging 15 - 16.5 for 1 to 1.5 hours. I then have gardening - pulling weeds, picking up sticks and clipping hedges. On days i…

Didn't think i would be riding today as i went to the gym for 25 min workout - recently - rejoined! And worked in the yard 73 min. But Hubby came home and was going for a ride - and i said -"well, not without me!" Oct. 17th - 14.5 miles October to date total 249 miles To Go- 151 Goal - 400
