Fage non-fat with berries and whatever high fiber cereal you like and top off with chopped almonds or walnuts. Well rounded and will help with digestion after any meal that you might have trouble with.

I'm certainly not saying that riding a bike won't allow you to lose weight. More or less I'm saying get out and ride, run, jump rope or go to the gym. Do what makes you happy but eat responsibly with the assistance of an awesome aid like MFP. Biking turns my world right-side up everytime I go out for a ride. Mentally it…

Outstanding advice and I was that person last year and many years before that where even during the summer months, I was riding my bike 150 miles a week and not dropping any weight. Until I joined MFP, I didn't understand why what and how much you put in your body made a difference. I still eat what I want but just don't…

Awesome entry and you have truely been an inspiration to me and to others on this site. Great ride and event! Your timing and speed in that heat was outstanding! I"m really proud of your accomplishments and words of wisdom. I'm sure I'm not the only one that will tell you that your story is one that I will share with those…

87%. Most importantly, thanks for posting educational links there! The last question was a bit misleading, but makes sense after you see the explanation and read the word "during". Thanks!

The rides I'm current' doing are in the 45-70 mile range. Before, no matter how long my ride was, I would just eat and eat before a ride. My iron gut may be one reason why it was so easy for me to pack on the lbs.. Now I eat a sensible balanced carb/protein mixture. Maybe a quarter of a leftover bean and cheese burritto…

Lately: Rob Zombie - Thunder Kiss '65 or Black Sunshine Metallica - Fuel Pantera - Cowboys from Hell Volbeat Guitar Gangsters and Cadillac Blood Rammstein - Du Hast. The Chunka Chunka sound gets me motivated to do what I normally wouldn't. It's all about tricking your brain into doing something it doesn't want to do…

Wow! That makes a lot of sense. I will put that one into motion for a while to see if it makes a difference. Thanks for all of your support and replies!

When I started to ride I was 6-1 and 260 lbs and was fine on a Giant TCR carbon frame bike. That frame and bike has been rock solid. I spent more than I knew I could afford which kept me riding the bike, which lead to a drop in weight to 230 and then back up to 245 where I stayed until a few weeks ago when I started using…

That's kind of what I've felt like just in the ten days I have doing this program. I almost feel like I'm cheating the system, but in the long run more calories burned allows us to eat to manage the process we are on to reach our goals. I'm anxiously optomistic about MFP and really do hope it is the answer to many years on…

Awesome! Thanks, that kind of support from a fellow cyclist is encouraging. I can ride 200 miles a week and not lose the weight. I am encouraged by MFP and the way it keeps you accountable and that is really what I have been missing all these years.
