We see nearly 1000 of these posts per month here at MFP. B) Why Am I Not Losing Weight: 11 Reasons You’re Failing To Lose Fat Accurate counting (or at least more accurate) as everyone who posts one of these threads tends to underestimate how many calories they eat, and overestimate how many calories they burn in exercise.…

Here's another article that I had bookmarked in 2015: "Why Eating Less and Exercising More are the Best Ways to Lose Fat" http://www.completehumanperformance.com/eat-less-move-more/ It's written by former triathlete Armi Legge who is now a nutrition consultant for athletes at CHP (Complete Human Performance) and hosts CHP…

A 4 hour bike ride on Friday, and a 2 1/2 hour ride on Saturday.

Rather than heart rate, watts, etc..., it narrows down to this... 1. Old lady pace 2. Chatty pace 3. Feel good hard 4. Feel bad hard 5. I am going to die 6. Flat out Old lady pace and chatty pace help build an aerobic base. Feel good hard is the "sweet spot" of cardio training that gives a lot of bang for the buck. Feel…

Daily stretching. Work on your core and correct posture. Weekly or bi-weekly massages to help work out muscle tension and the hot spots. Foam roller to work out the kinks. Keep all of this up while lifting weights to combat the lower back pain and improve your lower back health. The bolded daily stretching is very…

Perfect! I would stick with those. Rotate as you feel comfortable, and bump up the intensity at least 2 x per week. Use the exercise as part of your -CO in the CICO equation to achieve your daily deficit.

Great post! We could be having the same discussion with the analogy of finances: daily/weekly/monthly/annual budget, saving, investing, returns, years until retirement, income vs. appreciation, etc... . B) CICO is so simple - as is a daily budget. If you were only allowed $10 a day to purchase what you needed for that day,…

That's a great goal, rikkejanel! Others have pointed out, that the primary way you are going to reach your goal will be via the CICO equation (calories in vs. calories out) by making sure that you are eating at a slight deficit each day. I am a huge cardio nut due to riding and racing bicycles. Prior to that, I was a…

Get a rest day or two in there so your soft tissue can recover, heal, and leave you stronger for your next run.

SPD's on everything - mountain bikes, road bike, recumbent, exercise bike.

Pretty much all water weight and glycogen stores loss. Provided you are eating again, you'll bounce right back or very near to your pre-food poisoning weight in a few days. Now if the vomiting and diarrhea had continued for more days, then your body turns to the fuel sources it has available - glycogen, fat, muscle and the…

Hard to say unless we know your goals? Do you have a total of 2 to 2 1/2 hours per week to devote to cardio, or do you have 11 - 15 hours available? B) Which zones of your heart rate do you want to work, and what have you done in the past to lead you to where you are right now in your aerobic fitness?

Yes, that's where we have to be careful in choosing which posts or threads we respond to in the first place. I have no idea what it is like to be obese, what it took to get obese, or the process of losing weight from being obese. I know what it is like to be 30-40 pounds heavier than the ideal weight range (where I have…

Well, let me ask more frankly then. How many people need to be coddled, hand held, and comforted? That's what I was getting at in asking about what percentage fits into that group. The successes all have one thing in common: eating at a deficit to lose weight. Isn't that all we need to know?

31.2 miles on the bike out in the rain and cold. Took a bit of mental strength at times, but I knocked it out.

I think when you get down to the remaining belly fat, targeting a 1/2 pound to 1 pound loss per week is a very reasonable goal. By doing so, you can figure out the "how long does it take" portion of your question. The typical "spare tire" with the love handles and remaining belly fat is most often about 15-20 pounds. So…

I changed kitten to the appropriate word so I could read the article (gee, nice Christmas morning read...!). Not to deter the thread that seems to have morphed into talking about tearing up pavement, safety hazards, handicap access and what not, but - getting back to the originally linked article. I just wanted to throw an…

It's usually the last thing to go (and first to come back) for men when losing weight. If you still have "love handles" and belly fat, then you still have more weight to lose - in spite of possibly reaching your overall weight goal. Keep running a daily deficit until you shed that final "spare tire" which is usually 10-20…

No rest day in months? :# In terms of days, Sunday is just another day. How you structure your activities and plans is up to you. Some open gifts the night before, some on Sunday morning. Some celebrate with a Christmas Eve dinner, some with a Christmas Day dinner. Some go to church. Some do not. Some sleep in. Some don't…

Nope. Still says... 404 THAT PAGE DOESN'T EXIST! Could be your link is a subscribed site or login only site?

Page says that the link doesn't exist.

Yup - a couple hours on the bike for sure is planned on Christmas Day. Big meal at our house is today, Christmas Eve Dinner at 6. 2 1/2 hours on the bike this morning, with 30 minutes of core work later on is planned.

ituo uses Natural White (as opposed to Cool White that most everyone else uses) - and it is absolutely the best thing for riding off road mountain biking. I bought the XP3 for my helmet and XP4 for my bars and am stunned about how well they light up the singletrack. Great price performance - and currently on sale for the…
