Congrats on hitting your lowest. I have to assume biking is a huge contributor to this result.

I think its kept my weight down and now I am starting to see it as the key to more loss as I am out there for longer periods of time too.

I got a stationary last September - which I truly hated thus completely under-used the machine. The conventional mountain bike has been in my possession since early May. I totally fell in love with the mountain bike :)

How it's helping me ?? It's allowed me to increase my hours spent exercising. My 25+ mile rides usually keep me active for 3+ hours at a time where my walking was usually half that time or less. I'm truly a lazy guy so impact (or running from it) has been my achilles heel. If I find something I enjoy, I tend to stay with it. Low impact, high duration is my target exercises. The muscle group areas are different from walking also. I've had great results from biking in the lower ab region.

Wow, lower ab region? That's my worst area. Good to know good to know.


It's only TMI if the man shorts have a pee hole and you're actually using it :p

Well, this will certainly be too much, I am embarassed yet proud somehow to have a nice case of jock itch which has worsened since cycling. Going for Rx tomorrow. Know of any cheap cure???

Thank you, Kelly. I try.[/QUOTE

Hello,I must say you are doing great with your weightloss.What plan do you use?Can you spare any tip's and trick's for craving's?I am reading some of the diaries so I will be here for a while lol feel free to stop by and say hi.
 
First of all, 26 miles is major--do your legs cramp up?

Second, your snake stories were poetically written. I love it!

Third, thank goodness the Copperhead didn't getcha! :eek:

Fourth, I like snakes, rats, spiders, and cockroaches. I'm very weird. snakes are beautiful and fascinating and cute. I've had 7 pet rats in my life. I read Charlotte's Web way too many time to dislike spiders, and I think the bigger ones are beautiful. And I have the utmost respect for cockroaches :)

Anyway, about the lower ab stuff, I'm guessing it comes from all the leg raising.

Countless writings on the net swear lower ab flab can only be removed (other than lipo) with weight loss only. That fat portion 'hovers' over the lower ab muscle group so essentially as muscle is being used, it never 'burns' off the fat like some other regions do.

My best guess is I'm just working out longer and burning more calories hence greater results not to mention it's my last concentrated mass fat area even though it's a reduced area presently.

Based on my experience, this area was the largest to begin with and it's probably shrinking in proportion with the other fat areas. It's almost math-like it will be the last area to diminish.

Hi Hannah :) Welcome to WLF.

My 'plan' was to eliminate fast food and convert over to good store-bought fresh foods and fruits. It's really a long-winded process to name everything. I'm not one to spout out to the forum body about 'do this and buy that', I think your true success will be up to your mental ability no matter what I suggest.

I encourage you to seek your own modifications both at the store and in your thinking - it will take both.

'tips-n-tricks': Answer your snack yearnings 50% of the time with raw veggies or fresh fruit and learn to ignore the other 50%. Too often we mindlessly enter reaching for snacks. A mental reduction should be implemented as well as purchasing quality snacks.

One of my favs is drinking coffee when I'm entirely too hungry in between meals.

Google this word: Catabolics. A very key group to a lifestyle change.

Best of luck, Hannah.

I'm pretty steady with eating bananas, it seems to do the trick. The bonus side is eating them early in the day and burning up those carby critters.

That is truly one near miss story - and this was "later" along the trail ... as in an emptier section?

Aah. Good to know who has the control.

Of course there's still that gap between asking and getting...

Anyway, you can keep the f^cking pen with your name on it.
 
Okay, I have to bust in here and put my two sense in about what Curves said on the dressing up like Elvira, I actually have a picture of myself dressed as her from a few years back. It was for an office Halloween party. LOL LOL actually it's probably the best picture I've ever taken. LOL LOL LMAO, What ever happened to that lady anyways?? Is she still around?? I hope you have a FABULOUS weekend!! Don't party to hard. And are we still on for a nice pasta dinner??? LOL LOL Later Gator!:eek:

omg, a 'where are they now' moment. I'm sure she's pretty well used up by now. Halloween ripoffs are legit, especially if ya got the 'ta ta's' for an Elvira costume. No need to comment on that.

Everyone possesses the Force...you just have to learn how to use it.:)

I can't believe I missed your birthday:eek: :eek: :cry: I'm so ashamed. I will try to excuse myself by explaining that my work hours went up to full-time this week, and I've been preparing for my first home workshop for my business. I only popped up on the forum to update my daily weigh-in thread and didn't look around.

I'm glad you had a decent day, and that you're curbing your 'going out'. I dont' know if that's the 'mom' in me, or the 'ex-girlfriend that was tired of watching someone drink too much all the time' talking, but I'm glad you're taking that part in hand.:hug2:

meh, don't be ashamed. It's ok, really.

Please don't let me view you as my 'mom', that would be wrong on so many levels :p I never had alcoholic tendencies but I am a 'feast or famine' kinda guy.




Date tonight with a new woman :) She extracted my number from a family member and called me this morning. Time to hit the shower - just finished a 26 mile ride.

I'll let ya all know how it goes.

I <3 this :)
