Balderdash. I've been drinking coffee for 40 years. Here's to the next 30-40 years of coffee drinking for me....and the next 60+ years for you. B)

Get a bike or some good running shoes. Outside is always "open".

Good job on the cardio! You can lose more weight by October, but shooting for an entire stone (that's 14 pounds for us pounders and 6.35kg's for us metrics) is going to take a bit more time than one month. Best and most realistic goal to shoot for is to lose another 1-2 pounds per week. As you are doing, continue to use…

Most exercise - especially weight lifting - tears soft tissue. The amount of time needed for that soft tissue to repair itself and grow back to how it was prior to the tears - or even better, stronger than before which we call Supercompensation - varies for each individual and the amount of damage done. Whether it is 24…

I love working out at home! But I've got plenty of space and am not cramped in the "home gym" like it sounds you are. Bottom line - your best work out sessions are the ones you enjoy and are likely to stick with long term. So if that means a gym for you now - go to the gym and get the work out done!

Figure out for your age and size the best estimated BMR (I prefer this calculator over MFP's: http://www.calculator.net/bmr-calculator.html). There will be a margin of error in any BMR calculation +/-, so your actual BMR may need tweaking. The number will adjust as you lose/gain weight, so adjust it as your weight changes.…

It's all right HERE.

Great thread with nice pictures. I'll ride anything - just about. My preference these days is for a mountain bike and a road bike which I love to get annual miles on both. This year, bikes have taken me to Utah, California, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Italy! And the year isn't over yet!!!! RIDE on,…

That could lead to weekend binge eating. Best to stick to a good daily plan (calorie target). But back to the deficit, I also feel the lethargy if my deficit (when I cut weight) is too extreme - especially when exercising. So if you are eating fewer calories to cut weight, and doing exercise (which is great for the health…

Are you currently eating at a deficit?

When you lose weight, you are going to lose fat, muscle, water, and glycogen stores. Mitigating as much muscle loss as possible means you will need to be lifting to maintain as much as what you currently have as you can. No matter what the gizmo/gadget you use to measure calorie burn during cardio exercise - it is an…

Losing the weight in the kitchen (you can use your calories burned with longer hours on the bike to help create a deficit) is the key to getting the weight battle under control. You have to eat less than you burn to drop weight. Unfortunately, during the weight loss phase and while dropping body weight due to the calorie…
