Welcome to the thread Mr. Lalor

Thanks. We're in the same boat this week. No riding for me since a painfully slow climb last Sunday.

Michael, nice work.

Is anyone else using the My Fitness Pal App for their iphone,pad or other device? I'm finding it handy, easy, and a great way to keep track of what's being consumed and burned.

I used it for a few weeks and found it to be pretty nice. But eating a lot of homemade food or dishes I think it's hard to quantify ingredients property. I was guessing a lot - but it was still a good tool. I don't know why I stopped using it - I going to start back up.

My Dad has been using it for a couple of months and lost 25 lbs so far - helps him keep track of whats going in.

This is my first posting to this thread. I'll try the Tom Officer method of posting my daily weight to try to shame myself into actually
losing weight. I now weigh 213.5 lbs. I am 6 feet tall. I'd like to get down to 190 or low 190s. Let's say 193 since this thread is about losing 20 pounds. I know from past experience that I can maintain 195 without much problem, at least until the winter when I tend to ride less, eat more (sigh) and put on the pounds.

I am not a competitive cyclist. I am 54. I commute to work by bike, 24 miles round trip, daily year-round, and do weekend rides of anywhere from 30 to 70-80 miles (not including the annual century or two), except in the winter when I slack off. Last winter's slack off (combined with illnesses that kept me off the
bike for weeks) made me gain maybe 15 pounds or more.

Enough said. Nice work

200.8 this morn

I am going to have to learn how to eat well camping. 4 days in Acadia National Forest coming up and I do not want to lose the ground I have taken.

This week, I have been looking into Food Combining as an approach to nutrition. It is a shift in approach but an easy one to make as long as I am preparing my own food. The info on which I am basing this is from Optimum Nutrition and it requires only a one page diagram and list of foods and how long they take to make it through the digestive process. I am also stil eating about 75% local, organic (not "certified organic" natural) foods. I think it is valuable in the long run to put only food raised with respect on my plate and in my body.
