I'm in. My knee is probably as healthy as it will get, and I want to get back into K1/C1 by the summer.

Gained weight during lockdown year when I was mastering the sourdough and Mexican rice. I have only been doing commute riding. Time to get back on the saddle.

I'm interested in this. Tried to get back on track this year and with no accountability (ride MTB alone most of the time) and the withering heat in CenTex this summer never really got going.
How does this spreadsheet work? Is the attachment in the OP's post just an example or do we use that (I saw it had 2023 dates) add our name and weight as we go throughout the year? |

Slid backwards the past few months- everything is a cycle i guess.
I'm in. Looking forward to reading about everyone's journey to the New Years weight loss related goals on this thread. |

I need a plan. Is it even possible?--60yo, 5'10 190#, easily >20 than ideal, and -10 would be huge. Former middling multisport athlete. Been stable weight for 5+ years; stress eater, sugar fiend, modest alcohol, yada yada. The more I ride the more I eat. Weights? A personal trainer? Liposuction?
(Kidding on that last one.) |

Yeah I just started doing some more supplemental exercise to aid in weight loss. Been riding fixed gear but got a road bike to challenge my muscles in a different way. Trying to drink more water as well.

Quote:
Speaking from personal experience as a personal trainer, hiring one will probably not result in weight loss.* That may seem tantamount to career suicide, but it’s the truth. Hiring a good personal trainer will most likely make you fitter and healthier. To another point you raised: an often overlooked factor is not what you eat by why you eat. Stress eating is a huge issue. Unfortunately, most people don’t ameliorate the stress with broccoli and kale. Last comment: try to disentangle cycling from weight loss. There are a myriad of health benefits to cycling that don’t show up on the scale. The goal for someone in middle-age should be to set a template for a healthy, functionally fit life. *there is an obvious distinction between muscle and fat when we’re talking about weight loss.

I'm game. Like others, I've been backsliding a bit the past few months. Might have something to do with reduced mileage this fall.

Weight
I am in. Lost 35 last year with this challenge readying for Mt. Washington where I ended up faster at 67 than I was in my 50s. Loss of weight helps.
But life happens. Took a bad step, rolled ankle and fractured a bone. 6 weeks in a boot with my ice cream must have healing properties diet. 4 days out of boot and I partially tear Achilles. 6 more weeks in boot. 25 percent of the year in a boot. No exercise. No discipline. No motivation. I fear getting on scale. I will put in my starting weight when I get rid of boot in 1-2 weeks. Gonna be a slog. Once I can get on indoor bike I should be ok to get in change of diet and exercise. |
