Anyone get wildly different calorie biking calorie counts between Endomondo and Strava ?

Usually during the work week I just do 1-2 tbsps MCTin my mug of coffee when I walk (5 AM) it easily gets me to lunch about noon. Once in a while I will add some butter or dark cocao. I can't say it has helped me lose any more weight but it does let me have consistently good energy through the work day. No carb crazies or…

Over the holidays and for a good couple weeks following - got into wheat and sugar (cookies, crackers and desserts) my joints were bothering me and a couple patches of dry skin broke out.

4 cup greek salad, smoked salmon and steamed broccoli with coconut oil

I don't know why I haven't lost any weight over all on Paleo. I was on a losing streak in the spring that ended after a particularly stressful weekend of work. I can speculate my metabolism is still damaged from the VLCD - but it has been 2 years. I still have chronic GI issues (Constipation) 2 years after the VLCD. This…

I've been eating primal since October 2012, I've not lost weight - I was about 210 when I started and as low as 199 in March and now I'm 214. But this summer I've been less active because of a knee injury/surgery II have a friend that has been doing it the same amount of time and she has only lost about 10 pounds. So not…

I'm doing the tablespoon of MCT in my coffee each morning 5:00 AM - during the workweek. It really is all I need to make it to lunch at noon. my energy level is good all morning, but I seem to later crash after about 3-4:00 PM. I try to minimize carbs at lunch or else I crash right after eating. Anyone else experience…

Toss on some curry powder ! Make it all the time!

I love mine. My primary exercise has been walking so has been great for me. I was tracking both my food and activity for a medically supervised program, so it helped a lot in proving my activity level. They never believed how little I was eating... need a app for that...

I took a chance and ordered a couple different shorts off Amazon. Should be here for the weekend.

Fun!

Did about 20 min when I got home last night. Was a bit too chilly for what I wore. Trying to get use to the shifting. Start/stoping. I can feel my 'sit bones' this morning. which seems to be a good sign because I though I'd feel the pressure elsewhere....

hummm, even pushing 300 I really didn't have any self perception of being over weight - I had health problems that pushed me over the edge to do something. but I didn't really think about it seriously. 25 years ago I was 170, was up to somewhere north of 295 a couple years ago. Now I'm 51 and was 202 this morning. I look…

Met with the doc today, she was concerned but not freaked out. Actual numbers: Total Cholesterol: 232 Triglycerides: 109 HDL: 51 LDL Calculated: 181 She wants to check again in 6 months - given that it has varied a lot the few years with my dieting/weight loss and off statins. Given my history and family history if it is…

Anyone get the LDL particle size/count done? My doctor said they don't do it unless you have a heart attack.

I'm a little leery of the cleats to start out with, advanced topic I think. hard to think of shorts right now with it still in the twenties and snowing.... but I see they are practical, along with the gloves. Cool! Can't wait to try it out!

Ok, looking at bike shorts. But I think i'll be bringing along a long shirt or something to cover up if I stop anywhere.... good bike shorts seem expensive ? yea, with this weather they better be long pants for a couple more months....

Lots of good ideas! Thanks guys. 1. I'm thinking I'll start out by biking my walking (4-5 mile) route through my subdivision/industrial park and down to the river. Some elevation changes and little traffic on the weekends. 2. Helmet - Certainly. A motor cycle helmet saved my face if not my life when I had the accident.…

I went through a lot before coming to a low-carb/paleo-ish diet about 9 months ago. . I didn't lose more weight, but pretty stable about ten pounds above my dieting low. My energy level is more consistent through the day although not as high as I'd like in the evening. I went from pre-diabetic to almost low fasting…

pretty much sticking to berries these days. most everything else has too much sugar.

yes, was on Prilosec and and ate a bottle of tums a month before I lost.

Interesting, I'll check it out. I knew/lost a lot of people in the 80's. I have to say I really lost touch with the entire issue after the early 90's - and everyone I knew with it was gone. Was really burned out on it.

I'm taking Barlean's 1000 mg soft gels: 2 contain EPA 370, DHA 230, other omega3 150. I actually take 3 day, one with each meal. No burps.

No, my opinion - not ever... no one needs that.

that's a good I idea. It's better than a year ago, but I suspect the 'sag' will never really go away.

Agree with everything wait-loss said: I like it on eggs, egg salad, chicken salad, cottage cheese. if you don't use your own spice mixes in lentil dishes or add it to rice or quinoa
