I bought the Haro Flightline 29 when I was 350 and it has been a great bike. I am using it 3 days a week. http://www.harobikes.com/mtb/bikes/flightline-29/flightline_29_two

Got myself a Haro Flightline Two 29er. Took it out today and it was great.

Tanks for the suggestions. I am going to see if I can find a Diamondback Wildwood today. Also found people talking about the Giant Sedona. Hopefully I can find something today and go for my first ride. gb

I went the first 8 months last year working out on my own and eating better and lost 60 pounds. I then met a trainer at my gym. Figured it would be a good idea to take it to the next level and learn more about nutrition and exercise so I signed up for twice a week PT sessions. Lost only 40 pounds the last half of the year.…

I am at the gym everyday by 4:30am. Not crowded and gets the body moving. I don't feel tired or drained all day. I think that will be determined based on your diet. Plus, if you wait later in the day people are more likely to come up with excuses not to go as "LIFE" will get in the way.

Funny story. I had the exact same issue. I lost 100 pounds last year and right around the middle of January became stagnate on my weight loss. Getting frustrated each week that the pounds did not drop. Actually two weeks at the exact same weight and then gained 5 over the next 3 weeks. I was totally pissed since I was…

The treadmills I use have 2.0 - 4.0 as walking, 4.0 - 6.0 as jogging and 6.0 and up running.

Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions.

I appreciate your taking a look, but I am very diligent about tracking my food diary. The days since Thursday's bad weigh in have not been tracked as mentally I am pissed about the whole situation. I typically do not enter my Saturday and Sunday because Saturday is my spike day and I just don't bother with Sunday because I…

I changed my food diary to public, I think that makes it viewable by everyone.

Thanks everyone for the feedback.

My current trainer is helping with nutrition and exercise. She gave me a "custom" meal plan that outlines each day of the week. I follow what I think is pretty strict nutrition plan of 2000 calories a day. I sometimes have a hard time getting to 2000 calories. This calorie count mixed with the amount of calories my HRM…

Good advice, but goals in my opinion have to be measurable. I have a hard time believing at my weight with my activity that I am not just shedding weight. I feel it would be more awkward to change trainers at the same gym that just dropping the personal training all together.

That is great information. I might try low carbing. I did notice last year when I started some of my bigger weightloss weeks was when I had lower carb counts. However, I worry about the negative impacts to my body. So I might get some of the liver test strips you talk about. Thanks

I drink 6 liters of water a day. I think it has helped me stay hydrated throughout my workouts and daily life. However, the constant trips to the restroom suck especially at night.

Hope this works, first time posting pic...

Doing circuit training. Some weights and cardio mixed in. Nothing to high intense.

Don't feel that way. I used to but it goes away as you make progress and start feeling better about yourself. One good suggestion I have for you would be to go to the gym during slow times. I am at the gym at 4:00 am each day and probably one of only 10 people there. So that minimizes your feelings and there is not a crowd…

I think it gives you some accountability and also someone to bounce ideas off of. I went 8 months last year and lost 80 pounds by myself. But, I felt that to take it to the next level I need some advice on nutrition and different types of fitness techniques. I can't say that I have lost more with a personal trainer, but I…
