Well done and keep it up.
You will get the "Can't be bothered" days, but hopefully what you will find is that if you get through that moment, the pleasure of the ride kicks in during the ride, or you get the satisfaction of completing the ride. Then when a "Can't be bothered" moment comes in at a later date, you have the motivation of past experience.

This a great thread, second best on CC.

What's the best thread?????

I need another lady cyclist to private message me......about a tender (very tender) quite private subject I need advice on! U can probably all guess what it is about but not appropriate for here lol. Any female happy to help me?

 

[Cannondale Lady]

Have had a pm from a lady offering help. Love this forum. Thanks to the lady offering help.

Lady is not something I'd describe myself as but happy to offer my tuppence worth.

Meanwhile, don't worry too much about immediate weight loss, if you're gaining muscle without putting weight on you'll be losing some of the stuff you don't want.

Grand thread, by the way!

I should have said my second favourite. My favourite is the "Your Ride Today " thread.

Hi, you mean something like this?
There also was a very informative ladies nether region thread, but I can't find it.
It's the one where, if I remember correctly, @coffeejo used the word "C"... made all the peeking males disappear

 

[Cannondale Lady]

Very helpful thread. Thanks for that.

Today, everything except my eylids is hurting. I'm proud of my achievement yesterday but paying for it today *walks stiffly to the kettle*….................

 

[MissyR]

Your body will be getting used to it still. Your doing fantastic! Think of the aches as your body getting rid of the fats

Not qualified to comment, but if my wife were here, she would say only two words: Georgina Terry.

 

[Cannondale Lady]

GeorginaTerry.......is that a euphemism?

I put on1.5 lb this week. What's happened? I'm gutted?

 

[Cannondale Lady]

MissyR thanks for your offer of help. I have read a lot and had some help (advice wise.....lol) about undies, butters, creams and saddles so I will see how I get on. I might come back to you if the offer remains

The first person to make saddles specifically for women, back in the 70s, I think. My wife was having a lot of trouble 'down there' and was advised to try a Georgina Terry saddle. It was quite hard (soft, squidgy saddles seem to be the worst) with a groove in the centre to relieve pressure on the soft bits. She absolutely loved it and kept it from bike to bike. I'm sure things have moved on since then, but the principle remains.

I do like the idea of 'Georgina Terry' as a euphemism, though. 'Hi darling, what say we let little George and Georgina play together, huh?'

Weight, tell me about it. I have put the same pound on and off for the last two weeks, despite careful eating and lots of exercise. Sometimes it's water retention (especially after eating carbs like rice or pasta) and sometimes it's what I call 'work in progress'. Be patient, stick to the plan, and it will shift eventually.

Bodyweight does fluctuate, yours is still trying to work out if you're serious about this new form of torture you've been putting it through

Don't panic just yet.
