Beautiful day for a ride~~~~~~~~~ Cycled today Oct. 15th - 16 miles October total - 217.5 miles to go - 182.5 Target - 400

Yes, Give it more time. A week for 6-7 lbs is unheard of anyway. Most must be water. But yes, like another posted - i too have the plateaus. Right now i have fluctuated from 129.6 to 131 - for 16 days! But - this has happened in similar fashion before. Hopefully, again in a few days or so, i will drop 1 or 2 lbs and settle…

My entire life- my cholesterol was excellent - around 140. Then a few years ago i had stopped eating oatmeal and it went up to 199. Started back on Oatmeal (changed nothing else) and it went down to 160. Started MFP in May 2013, started losing weight, sometimes had oatmeal twice a day - and now 29 lbs lighter and just had…

Easy ride today but logged some miles~~ Oct. 13th - 13.3 miles Total - 201.5 miles To Go - 198.5 Target 400

Added some more miles today. Cycled 24 miles Cumulative total 188.2 Miles to go - 211.8 Thanks Dave for the Gold Star! I love to get stars! Great moving everyone! Keep going..............

Like other posters on here, cycling along with very sensible (watching everything) eating has enabled me to lose almost 30 lbs in 5 months. I have not been this low in weight in about 40 years! Yes - cycling works!

Competed in a 5K and 10K Cycling Time Trial today in Gainesville and Won! Oct. 11th - 25 miles Cumulative miles for October 164.2 235.8 Miles to go. (but then i celebrated and had my first McDonalds Oreo McFlurry in 5 months!) Back to the program...............

No miles today ~ did play tennis 1.5 hours and 3 hours of yardwork. Does that count???? NOTomorrow should have something to add.

Originally - Washington, D. C - now South Florida

Great Day here! Oct 8th cycled 20.7 miles - getting ready for Time Trial this Friday. 5K and 10K Cumulative total for October 139.2 Miles to go - 260.8

You most likely need to see a Podiatrist or Orthopedic Doc for possible orthotics. I too have flat feet - have all my life and have had multiple problems from them. Orthotics can help with most of the problems i have had. Just a few days ago i was gardening for a couple of hours and not wearing the orthotics. I felt like i…

Yes, thanks for letting us know how it went. I am not to goal yet, but close and want to lower my goal now that i see where i am near goal. As far as logging - i think i might be in this for life! Good luck - you did it before - i know you can do it again.

Cycling ~ Oct. 7th 18.8 miles Cumulative total October - 118.5 --- 281.5 to go. Had hoped to do more than that today as i was finished by 10:30 AM - But did 3 hours of yardwork -couldn't figure any miles in that!

Hey ~ I didn't think i could do this either. And i have a few more years on you! In a month i will be 68 ! Thats hard to believe as i really don't feel like that (most of the time!) Anyway - I started on MFP 5 months ago today. My goal i set up was 30 lbs which realistically - i didn't think was possible. But- why not -…

elyelyse said it all! Can't over- emphasize logging though. It lets you know where you are. Afterall - if you are using this site - use it - its super - it works. We are here to lose - so you just can't go nuts if getting in better shape is what you want out of this.

Hi - Beautiful day in South Florida - got my cycling in - Oct. 6 - 20.3 miles Cumulative total - 99.7 300.3 to go Get out there!

Oct 5th update for my cycling ~ today - 17.8 miles. Cumulative total for October 79.4 miles 320.6 to go! Thanks, Dianne

I have oatmeal everyday and never get bored with ~~ Tbs of Whey Protein powder - vanilla- adds a little protein along with slight vanilla flavor tsp of flax seeds Tbs of Unsweetened Almond Milk 1/4 cup of blueberries If you have a Costco nearby - they sell 3lb bags of Organic Maine Blueberries for $11. They are the best -…

Got an email from a tennis friend today. She said she saw me the other day and i looked awesome. I wrote her back and said it was great to be out there, but that day - i really sucked! She wrote back and said " no silly - i didn't see you play - i just saw you and you were so Skinnie Minnie" !

OOOH Smoothies! I have one everyday! Blueberries, grapes, banana, protein powder and Ice - blend, blend, blend. Will go down so easy and so yummy.

HI ~ I am close - was close. I started in May of this year at 159.4. Sure didn't know i weighed that much when i finally got on the scale! I used to Never get on the scale - even at the doctors office - I told them what i weighed! And i am 5' 4.5 ". I joined MFP on May 7th and when i came to doing your ticker - what my…

Hi ~ Cycled today, Oct. 4th - 25.2 miles - October total 61.6 ~ 338.4 miles to go. Dianne

I have been cycling a lot lately - so this is for me! My goal for October - 400 miles. So far: Oct. 1 - 25.4 miles Oct. 2 - 11 miles Get out there! Dianne

Well, i like it. Sure, if you exercise like crazy that day and don't eat like crazy - it will give you an unrealistic number. But i decided to record it everyday about 6 weeks ago, so i check it now, and Ok - its not right on everyday - but if i look at it for 2 or 3 days - 5 weeks ago - its been right on! One of those 3…

Yes, I think MFP does overestimate exercise calories. At least the ones i do which are cycling, tennis and gardening. I have a pretty good idea how much those activities burn so i do estimate and usually put down fewer minutes. I don't plan to eat them all back anyway and usually go for 40-60% of them. Don't think i would…

Hi - I am a cyclist. Was really into it from about 2000-2005 when i competed in the 2005 Senior Olympics Time Trials and did really well. I achieved my goal and got back into tennis from 2006 to Oct. 2012 when i tore a tendon around my ankle. Had to stop everything and get into a boot for several months. Moped around…

For the past month i was cycling 130-195 miles each week. But i am scaling that back to around 100 mi a week. I love tennis and i have been out of it for 11 months because of an ankle injury. With taping i am now able to play twice a week, so will cut back somewhat on the cycling. But it is cycling and calorie watching…

I'd like to join this! Put me down for 400 miles for October. Cycling that is! October 1st - 25.4 miles October 2nd - 11 miles

Have never done a challenge on MFP - this sounds like the one - if you have room.

Every morning - first thing. No water, no coffee. And then multiple times during the day - before - after exercise. But i only record the early read. Like others - i don't want to weigh once a week and have that day be the "up" day when others (that i would not have known about) - be down. And believe me - before i started…
