I do much better with my weight control when I can stay active. Sometimes life gets in the way, and sometimes I just slack off. But that's a fairly solid chunk of miles you ran either way.

If I...

Well we let this one go for over a month, how is everyone doing?

I slacked off for a couple months big time. Got an infection and the antibiotics caused me some major stomach issues, and then...

I've found that the results on the exercise increase even more once you get the weight loss over with. That calorie deficit can slow you down on training sometimes. Those extra calories help fuel...

You have no idea how much data I have, some in formats that would cause people to search just to understand the terminology! But I'm big on the metrics, as that is where I see the improvements and...

I'm still on a roll, and increasing performance metrics on a steady pace.

The cross training on the elliptical is paying off big time in endurance and output, and translating well to the bike....

I've jogged slowly bringing the bike home with a flat. Very slowly. Shins meeting pedals tends to make one wary. Other than with the bike and running some stairs at a local park a few times, this...

Usually in the colder months I gain some weight. Around here it's mild, but I'm a warm weather person due to being spoiled by the local weather. But with all the holidays and me having a birthday...

Well based on how quick this thread died, I'm at least hoping that nobody here is hoping for new larger clothes for Christmas!

I've shifted focus a bit and have now dropped more weight than my...

So... is everyone taking the winter off already? :laugh:

Work pace has been crazy lately, so getting in rides is getting harder and harder. But I've dropped a few more pounds since last post...

It all adds up. Calories out > calories in = weight loss. I've lost around 6 pounds since the last post here, mostly with walking and biking. Logging food has made it much easier for me to see...

All it takes to get started is willpower. The help of some method of tracking food intake vs calories burned will help as well.

I've dropped a little over a pound a week for the last few weeks. ...

It's easy to blow it during time off, especially when you have some drinks. A couple weekends back I managed to consume almost 6000 calories in a day! BUT.... overall I was at about break even for...

I actually like turning wrenches, so fixing things doesn't really bother me, it's just a time thing. I figure I can usually fix it faster than I could get it to the shop for them to do it. And by...

If I bike just once or twice a week I start getting more endurance and the pace slowly picks up. I'm also figuring out which foods give me more long term energy and bringing nutrition into the...

I think I only have about 350-360 bike miles for the year. Total slacker! :laugh:

My ride distance for July wasn't much, only 133 miles. But I also did as many walking calories, so overall I burned about 13,000 calories doing "other than usual" exercise in July. With having the...

I've done about 110 miles this month riding, and another 20 or so walking. Though it's not much, it's something, and my last ride I burned over 1200 calories in an hour. My back is doing better,...

Those are always fun. Though we don't have many good places to get off the road, I've still got a bruise on my inner thigh from where the seat bit me hard going through a ditch. I stayed on the...

I think geometry plays into the stability as much as wheel and frame sizes. I did like the 27.5, but felt it was still a little too small. I'm hoping the bigger wheels, front fork combo will lessen...

I do the opposite. I often see people with thousands of dollars into their bikes, riding little more than I do and at about the same pace. Then I think to myself.... Wow, they must be crap...

I put in about 20 miles on the BOMB (beat old mountain bike) on Sunday, with a few of it off the road on mellow trails. I've been somewhat lazy and somewhat nursing my back.

I've really got to...

I do all my miles on a cheap and heavy mountain bike. I've always actually wondered the calorie burn difference from a road bike vs mountain bike when riding on the road.


I'm dead in the water...

After pulling my back yesterday, I hoped to get things loosened up some today. That though ended when I woke up. 1200 mg of ibuprofen was doing nothing at all for the pain, so I was off to the...

I see I'm not the only one with some back issues.


Yoga for me has been great for loosening muscles in certain areas, as well as general relaxation. I found it messing around with the Wii Fit...

Well I've done a lot of nothing lately! I need to get back on the schedule of doing some biking or elliptical at least every other day. We did have a real cold winter for this area, and TBH I just...
