You exercised beyond your training adaptation and are experiencing DOMS (delayed muscle onset soreness) - as well as what sounds like swelling with your conditions. That should dissipate in the 48-72 hour time period (usual day 2 after such a workout will feel worse than day 1 after such a routine). DOMS is a necessary…

The REAL answer is HERE.

It's all right HERE.

You are doing everything right! You are eating at a deficit, getting some exercise, and losing a pound per week. In other words: PERFECT execution! If your expectation was to lose more than a pound per week, you will have to adjust your CICO equation by bumping up the amount of exercise to create a larger deficit. The…

Bingo! However, at this point, I fear we have scared the OP off of the thread with all the information everyone has been providing. I still want to hear how hard she is riding for those 3 to 4 times per week.

In addition to maintaining a deficit in the CICO equation in the kitchen.... ....yes, in terms of riding a bike you can absolutely use it to help "ride yourself into a calorie deficit". The larger question usually revolves around the person committing to the time commitment of getting enough hours in on the bike per week.

Less calories in than calories out - or more calories out than calories in. They both work. B)

You don't tell us how hard you ride for those 40-60 minutes. HR Zone 1, 2, 3, 4, 5? That's not much riding in terms of a cyclist's training plan, or if one is trying to use cycling as cardio to burn calories to help with the CICO equation. 6-8 hours on the bike per week would be a more "average" week to fire up the…

Yes! My wife and I are both cold all the time - have been for a couple years now.

A couple of falls due to forgetting your clipped in, and you'll be good to go after that. It happened to all of us way back when learning how to use them. B)

I can do that if I pour enough into that one glass. B)

Drink a black coffee, or drink a green/black tea instead.

Just keep on doing what you're doing. It's no different at age 55 than age 40. I do build in more recovery time now than 15 years ago, but I'm still lifting weights, cycling, walking just as I was when I was age 40. You've already made it a part of your lifestyle at age 40. The only advice I would give is to continue…

Red wine is a nice cholesterol lowering top 10 "food". Just account for the calories in your glass(es) and you'll be fine as long as your daily calories total up to a deficit.

That's a good question that we all must face from time to time - especially if we do creep up above our comfortable fluctuation range.

Congratulations on dropping from 318 to 237. That's a great start and something to be very proud of to this point. You mention that you have only been doing 3 hours per week for the past 3 weeks. That means it is relatively new to you, so give it some time. In addition, do you have the time to increase the amount of…

No such thing. Make sure your CICO equation = deficit until the stubborn stomach fat is gone. Running, cycling, swimming, weight lifting, walking, tennis - whatever you prefer to do for exercise is nice benefit for your health and overall well being. However, the belly is lost in the kitchen. B)
