@mph323 honestly it was the paint job that got me too 😉

Your fit, yes, but riding a bike for extended miles is a whole 'nother beast! I rode a lot two years ago, mountain and road, but took the winter off of riding but still exercised quite a bit. Getting back on the bike in the spring was murder on the neck, back, delicate bits to name a few things. This year, I bought a bike…

New bike for me this year! I wasn't going to get one but then Specialized released the Stumpjumper Mixtape LTD edition and I fell in love!

So I didn't record a ride but got out on the mountain bike yesterday and played on some features like a pump track, jumps and a teeter! Prep for Moab!

How long do you think it should take to really see results? I mean visibly. I’m older, 49, and have been lifting 2x a week since Nov 2017 and now 3x a week since January of this year. My diet is pretty good. I eat healthy but maybe more than I should for my age, height, etc. I feel like my shape is changing, more broadness…

Hi! I have fibro too and lift. I find Epsom salt baths help me a ton. I also started a new medication called Low Dose Naltrexone and it's made a world of difference for me in my recovery time and pain. I'm 49 and got sick of being squishy so I started lifted 2x a week with a trainer November 2017. I have been very…

I gotta beg to differ on the "breasts are all fat" comment. Breast tissue is comprised of two types, fat and mammary tissue. Every woman has both, just in varying proportions. You often hear women say, "damn, I lost my boobs when I lost weight." Those women's breast are more fat tissue than mammary. Then, there are people…

Haven't been out since last weekend :/ We have snow coming again this week so I doubt we will be able to ride this weekend either. Gotta get in shape for my Moab trip!

Don't feel bad! The first time I tried to put air in my mountain bike tires, I had no idea the little stem thing had to be screwed up to allow air into it. My husband had a field day with that one...

So I went to the doctor and actually saw her Nurse Practitioner, whom I love, and she gave me lots of options. I haven't read through this whole thread so I'm not sure if this has been suggested before, but we decided on trying a product called Relizen which is a Swedish Bee Pollen.…

I broke down and made a doctor's appointment for tomorrow. I've gotten to the point that OTC stuff and other accommodations are just not cutting it anymore. I can't sleep, between the insomnia and night sweats, and I'm starting to get super anxious and I can hardly work. I'm hoping they can give me something short term. I…

Have you looked into the AutoImmune Protocol diet? I have fibro and I suspect sjorgrens as well but have yet to be diagnosed as I'm dealing with a disc issue in my neck right now which has taken precedence. https://thepaleomom.com/start-here/the-autoimmune-protocol/ I did AIP for awhile and found it pretty darn helpful…

I too have had fibro since my 20's (early 90's). I did a lot with diet and exercise and that helped my symptoms a lot but I was still waking up in the middle of the night with pain. I recently started LDN (low dose naltrexone) and if you haven't looked at it, I highly recommend it. Other than some crazy vivid dreams, I…

March 6 - 8.1 miles Trainer Road March 10 - 15.5 miles OUTSIDE!!! March 17 - 16 miles outside

I'm not currently doing one but I've done several rounds over the last couple of years. I like them for a good reboot to get you going eating healthy.

I have an acupuncturist appointment for other reasons, my first time going, but thanks for mentioning this, I'm going to bring this up while I'm there....I'm dying and nothing is working either!

Yeah for some sunshine and snow melting on the roads a bit! We hit 35 F here yesterday so a group of us hit the road. It was brisk but oh so worth it! March 6 - 8.1 miles Trainer Road March 10 - 15.5 miles OUTSIDE!!! Gotta get ready for our girls trip to Moab next month!

I'm really hoping March is much more friendly weather wise than February has been. Although it doesn't seem to be starting out well with record low temps of -15 F overnight (that's without windchill) this weekend! Counting the days to my Moab trip in April....

Finally got outside to ride!

Mountain biker too?

I'm 49 and decided a year ago that I was going to hit 50 in the best shape of my life and am working towards that goal. I'm actually loving this age because my son is old enough now that I can refocus my energy on myself which is awesome. I firmly believe you are only as old as you believe and I seriously cannot grasp that…

I try to keep up with posting on the monthly cycling post but I think there are only about 3 of us who do now with any regularity. My biking at the moment is only on my trainer in the basement. Nothing too exciting to talk about. I have a fat bike but it's either been way too cold or icy to get out on it. I've got a bike…

Not much for me so far this month. Fighting yet another office plague... 2/2-7.9 miles 2/9-7.7 miles Hope you get well soon...Machka9

It's hard! As a 49 year old woman who is 5'3" and 160, my TDEE is only 1450 ish as sedentary. So MFP doesn't even go low enough to get a full 500 calorie deficit. At 1200 cal/day without exercise I'm at 250 deficit per day which is a half pound a week. I hate days that I don't exercise because I do need to eat 1200…

If you have your Fitbit synced with MFP then you shouldn't record your exercise in MFP...is that correct? I just got a Fitbit Versa and when I had it synced it seemed to be double dipping my exercise calories. Also, I have MFP synced with Strava so when I did a bike ride and it uploaded to Strava, then it synced with MFP,…

I’m not a triathlete but I swam competively for years. For stroke work, think about when you bring your arm out of the water to lightly drag the tips of your fingers along the top of the water as you bring it forward. It will help with ease of motion and conserving energy. Then when you put your hand in the water at the…

Got a nasty cold last week so I took most of it off from biking. Still made it to the gym to lift, but just couldn't do it all.
