I'm thinning. 45 pounds this year. It involves not eating potatoes, rice, candy, much meat, junk food and drinking a lot of water. I've gone from an XL to a medium, from size 14 to to 7. I eat a lot of vegetables and fruit. I am pretty happy about it. Food doesn't make me as happy as being the right weight. My feet don't hurt any more. My doc would be so proud if I could do this. He's been after me all year. I think I've lost 5 pounds. |

1,200 miles on the bike and 24 pounds to date. From Livestrong.com: Vigorous Cycling
Bicycling 14 to 15.9 mph is considered a “vigorous effort” by the Wisconsin Department of Health. More vigorous efforts spur greater calorie losses by increasing your heart rate and the amount of fuel your body burns, according to “Swim, Bike, Run.” When you bicycle 14 to 15.9 mph, you burn about 58 calories per mile if you weigh 190 pounds, about 47 calories per mile if you’re 155 pounds and about 39 calories per mile if you’re 130 pounds.
Moderate Cycling
Bicycling 12 to 13.9 mph is a “moderate effort,” according to the Wisconsin Department of Health. When you bicycle 12 to 13.9 mph, you burn about 53 calories per mile if you weigh 190 pounds, about 43 calories per mile if you’re 155 pounds and about 36 calories per mile if you’re 130 pounds.
Light Cycling
Bicycling 10 to 11.9 mph is regarded as a “light effort” by the Wisconsin Department of Health. When you bicycle 10 to 11.9 mph, you burn about 47 calories per mile if you weigh 190 pounds, about 38 calories per mile if you’re 155 pounds and about 32 calories per mile if you’re 130 pounds.

You have to burn 3500 calories to lose a pound. Using the 47 calories per mile guideline, you should have lost around 16 lbs with 1200 miles logged on your bike. That means there's somebody else out there exercising their butt off, wondering why they haven't lost any weight yet, knowing they should be 8 pounds lighter. |

Ann, you can do it. Just don't eat the bad stuff and eat vegies and fruit. I thought I couldn't, and I didn't even do it on purpose. But the less that I ate the less I wanted and so on. I didn't exercise. I can't exercise because of my heart. There was only one way for me. Fortunately, I like vegetables and fruit best.

Though I have never posted much, it has been a hectic year for me and so I have posted even less frequently. Like some of you, I think my horizons have broadened by viewing and enve sometimes participating in the debates here.
Sek, I have reached a similar type of dieting regimen: Slow down on meats, pastas and breads. Make salad the primary meal. Drink fruit smoothies as a desert and sometimes a meal substitute.
I was doing a lot of pizza, BBQ, grilled meat, bread and desserts before. In 6 months I have dropped 35 pounds and the pain in my knees is gone even after light cycling (as defined by the Wisconsin Department of Health)

Yeah, "light cycling" my ass. I left out the part of the article dealing with racing, defined as 20+ mph. I always thought light to moderate cycling felt like racing.

I found an article on calories burned during golf. They wired up a group of men with sensors and pulse monitors and had them play 9 holes on a hilly course. The ones who walked and carried their bags or used push carts burned the most, something like 700 calories! The pitfall evidently is the refreshment cart that drives around, full of beer, chips, sodas, candy...

I ride between 10 and 12 mph and I weight a LOT more than 190. If I weighed 190 I wouldn't be riding the bike at all.

Why does our hair keep thinning?  Because our brains need to use more energy to remember things, so it robs the energy cells from our... um... what was that stuff?... oh, yeah... hair. |

Wouldn't it be nice if we could lose weight like we lose hair?

I was thinking of adding "elite racing, 40 kph+, signs of this level of cycling include needle marks", but that's a little callous isn't it? On topic though, I didn't quit posting, I just got busy. I still check in a couple of times a week but don't post very often anymore. There are a lot of very interesting threads, and some highly inflammatory ones, and very few music ones (though, after the past decadeish, I guess we've covered a lot of those already...). I do avoid reading a lot of threads during election season. It seems to make a lot of the discussion more personal than I'd like. |

I was thinking of correcting into metric (reality), but really what's the use? Even Lance, besides having a needle stuck in his arm (or somewhere else), is still stuck in a non-metric world. |

I'm a firm believer that all distances should be metric, all elevations in feet.
It's way cooler to say you rode 100 km than you rode 60 mi, and equally cooler to have climbed a thousand feet verses 300 metres. Pick your units based on how tough they make you sound.
