Ok, we have a weight lifting thread, but we need somewhere else to talk about weight loss.
Maybe.
....
Please?
Ok so I'm trying riding my bike everyday in the 100+ heat for some weight loss. Those of you who ride bikes: within 10 minutes of jumping on my bike, the thumb side of my wrist starts to hurt so so much, especially if I'm doing a lot of gear shifting. I'm not wearing gloves (are the necessary). Besides adding wrist support, any tips of relieving this?
Your turn to gloat about your weight loss. What are you doing to get sexier?

I have a dumbbell set upstairs that I try to motivate myself to use to help burn some extra calories too, but I seem to find it very easy to get distracted and make excuses in my head, like a lazy goose.
Then I discovered that I get incredibly self conscious and just couldn't do it, only went that one time.
Whoops!
But the plan is, I'm moving out of home in about 2 weeks, it's gonna be a huge adjustment and massive change to my schedule, and I'm going to use that to just drop some better habits in while I'm at it.
Gonna get back to running every day before work, gonna cook every night, gonna get one of those weekly home delivered boxes of fresh produce and use it all in new and different recipes, gonna turn a spare room in the apartment into a little gym and force my new roommate to work out with me
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
I've been meaning to weigh myself recently but I keep forgetting to
Yes, me exactly.
Yes, I want this so much. But you can't have a treadmill in floors >1 in my building. I'm keeping this in mind on my next move.
It terrifies me to think that I have to get down to 150 just to get out of the "obese" category.
The most I'm supposed to be is 125. WHAT?!
Yes, i'm starting to think this.
That would more or less ruin that idea.
We are opposite in sides of the Atlantic in which we live, height, and genitals.
Also I can't shoot a gun.
You're 4'6"?!
Aren't you? You're tall.
I'm interested in the formula you used to reach that conclusion.
So I did that backwards, 'cause backwards is kind of almost like opposite!
I know Scotland isn't close (in miles) to London, but stay safe, boy.
Last fall I was just over 170
Now I'm around 145! This morning I weighed in at 143
Feels so good, duders!
yeah you should just go ahead and not pay any attention to these numbers. Just because they kind of work for average people don't mean they do for everyone.

You looked TINY in your cam whore photos.
Just flat out pointed out that I could lift and carry any one of them around the ward if I wanted, yeah I'm too heavy, but it's not all fat either, so don't throw BMI at me without checking anything else.
So far everything seems contained to England, Scotland is just kicking back and watching.
I'm going to start work on a banner that reads "THIS STREET PROTECTED, LOOT ELSEWHERE." to hang off the side of the flats if anything does kick off in Glasgow, though, gonna put myself directly in harms way just because you told me not to.
thanks!
I'm 5'6" and have a bit of a larger frame. Kinda big rib cage. I'm like a carrot, or an upside down pear haha
Yeah, I know. But it's still crazy.
That big-boned stuff is crap (you're fat, get used to the word), but I know that I have a stout dwarf-frame.
My boss's wife is the same height as me, but she's a bit delicate. If we *looked* weight, I think I'd still weigh more than her on the scale.
It's been hot out so I run when I can. If it's too hot, I at least try to go for a brisk walk. And keeping the eating the same.
Think I've plateaued, but I'm honestly pretty happy bout where I'm at. I could maaaaaybe lose a few more pounds if I tried.
Think I need to work on toning up.
I went to see him for a general check up before I started seriously working out last year.
My blood pressure is always perfect. Always within 5 of 120/80. My cholesterol was also perfect, clean blood, strong heart, strong bones, strong lungs, strong guts.
He was like "Don't let anyone look at you and say you're unhealthy, cause I've got the data right here. You're perfectly healthy, you're just fat!"

haha ya, think the only time my blood pressure came in a bit high was when I was just getting over a cold.
few of them say I should be 130.
if I got that tiny, I'd probably lose my boobs
Though I've somehow managed to keep them throughout my weightloss so far
I ignore those chartsfor the most part
There's a lot of hob-bob about the whole BMI thing that suppose to tell you whether or not you're obese, overweight, or normal. Basically, when the BMI thing came about, a huge percentage of the population (something like 60%) became overweight overnight. I honestly think there's a much better way to determine your healthy body weight. I name it the 'Do I need to lose weight?' method.
Basically you stand in front of the mirror, naked, and ask yourself do you need to lose weight. Assuming you're not suffering from any self image disorders, you can basically tell whether or not you're at a healthy weight. Right now I'm at the 'I need to start losing some excess weight' side of this scale and I'm currently uping my cardio and getting rid of carbs from my diet. I'm planning to start commuting with my bike, and I'm currently getting my bike muscle back at the gym.
Yeah, this is no good. It could be a number of things, but most often it's just the bike being poorly fitted for you. The best thing to do is to go to a bike shop and have them fit the bike for you. You an try gloves and gel inserts for your bars, but they're not substitute for a good fitting bike.
That's so cool. You should get, like, a medical ID bracelet that just says: "perfect"
I'm always really proud when a doctor checks my cholesterol or blood pressure. I even got one to say: "you're the healthiest fat person I've ever seen!"
This was negated by my rolling around in pain on the hospital bed from gallstones.
Marg, as far as the hand pain, yes wear gloves or have REALLY comfortable grips.
It's also possible that you are putting too much weight on you wrist while riding, try to be conscious of this, it's something I do all the time and it sucks. A cause to this may be that your bicycle isn't the right size for you, as in the "cockpit" area is mismatched to your body dimensions.
What kind of bicycle are you riding?
have you ever met
a woman

Just look at Ethan Suplee.
You guys remember Ethan Suplee right?
well he's been riding his bike a lot and

A $98 mountain bike. (I'm Onion John poor, there's no "get a better bike" or "take it to a bike shop"). My seat is as low as it goes.
I find they hurt the most when I do a lot of braking or changing gears. I find that I'm putting a lot of pressure on my thumbs and first finger because I can't reach my brakes with anything but my pinky and ring finger. Maybe once I'm less scared and don't hover on the brakes it will go away. I'm going to try better grips.
