Building speed... Does it come naturally?

@bpsmith just a quick rough table showing AvgHr and FatCals as a % and fat weight loss in grms, I dont suspect this is in anyway accurate, but it does certain relationships mainly the lower HR and more fat cals used

I'm very pleased I've started this thread, lots of good debate going on here.

What are you doing in here, you should be out on the bike

That's good Nigel. I have a good excuse for taking it nice and easy once I get going again. Need to stop eating so much and drop the weight a bit again anyway.

There is never a better time to start losing excess weight than right now.

Too much comfort eating with not being able to cycle I'm afraid. So double whammy of lack of exercise and too much food equals about eight or nine pounds on.

Try getting the comfort from the weight coming off, it does put a bigger smile on your face.

Don't help if you can't actually ride.

Not quite sure what you mean.

I think Mo is injured right now, hence unable to cycle

That should not stop her from correcting the diet. I was not trying to be flippant, I was merely pointing out what I feel is real. Once a habit is formed it is hard to break.
MO I sure hope you recover soon and get back on the bike.

 

[vickster]

No but if struggling with the aftermath of the accident, it's very easy to turn to food for comfort, boredom of not being able to get out and about compounds the issue. Been there all year myself Correcting diet and losing weight isn't always black and white

Thanks. I know what you meant but I find it really hard to cut back on food and found I was able to almost eat what I wanted when I was doing decent mileage so I've carried on eating as much but not exercising other than walking so the inevitable happened. Lol

Try cold porridge, sounds horrible tastes fantastic and satisfied the munchies.

I lost my way for a couple of years, I have now lost the 5 stone I put on after arthritis put paid to racing and lots of training.

The buzz I get from seeing a slim guy in the mirror is way better than ever a cake or 5 could.

That's actually something that the farm workers used to do years ago. Put slabs of it in their piece box. Lol.
