My son is a freshman at GT and really enjoys it. The class work is difficult, but he is doing well grinding it out. He has found time to be in a fraternity and also plays on the club soccer team so he has plenty of time for fun. I will say based on the parents Facebook feed there are a lot of...

I have been stuck at 19 lb loss (since 1/1) for 2 weeks. Finally hit that 20 lb mark yesterday. Hopefully it is the start of a positive trend.

Thanks for the suggestion. It is very possible that I over-filled, but I don't think so. A quick google search says "rainout" is common and usually has to do with humidity set too high or hose temp too low. I reduced the humidity a few points and did not have the issue again last night. My...

I finally took a sleep test and as expected, I need a CPAP machine. I have had it 3 nights and so far the transition hasn’t been too bad. I wore it 8 hours last night and slept pretty decent. The only problem I had was Saturday night when the humidity was too high and ended up with water in...

I am down 19 since 1/1/23. Continuing to eat right most days and ride the Peloton for at least 30 Minutes every day.

Decided on 1/1 to get back in shape just like everyone else in here. I started Keto and lost about 10lbs in 4 weeks, but began to have a hard time following the plan (I missed fruit). I switched to Weight Watchers (I use the healthi app because it is cheaper) and lost about 5 lb this week. I...

Hi Z, So we did not get the scholarship to GTech, so Purdue is still in the mix.  We are going to visit tomorrow and get a feel for the campus.  He is going to tour GTech on Monday. Why do you say Purdue would be better for an undergrad?

I have had my Peloton since Halloween, but really began really riding it since the first of the year.  I can say that I highly recommend it.  Having it in the house makes it very easy to squeeze in a 30 minute ride.  You also do not need to compete with others.  You can turn off the leader board...

I have been away for a bit but back at it today. Weigh-in at 245 (so essentially no change in 2 weeks).  Considering I have not been totally focused on my diet this was a nice surprise to see i did not gain. Business travel this week and next will make diet and exercise tough, but I will do my...

Peloton stresses that the FTP is not a competition, but it is hard not to look at it that way.  I purposely don't even look at the scoreboard when I am doing power zone rides.  During some of the rides Matt mentions his zones and it is scary to hear that his zone 3 is my zone 5.

The Power Zone Training is great.  It gives you a good idea about how hard you should be working out.  It also provides a way to objectively test yourself every couple of months to see if you are progressing.

It has been a while, but most 1/2 gallon ice creams are now only 1-1/2 quarts. Everything is just a little smaller for higher prices. 

I haven’t rode outside in years. I had too many close calls with idiot drivers. I am sticking solely to the Peloton now.    If there is a FBG group on the Peloton I would gladly join. 

I have a big tower fan in front of ours and it helps a lot. I am still a sweaty mess, but it would be unbearable without the fan.

Ate decent yesterday, just at 1800 calories but not the best choices.    60 minutes on the bike. I have only missed 2 days since Christmas because of travel, but still jogged on a treadmill those days. 

How did that go?

I am weighing in a day early this week in case I go off the rails watching the game. I do plan on riding pre-game so that should help a bit.    245 - down 1 for the week and 20 for the year. 

Back on track yesterday with a strong diet and 60 minutes on the bike. I need to have a good Saturday to make room for some wings and drinks during the Super Bowl. 

I had a pretty stressful day Wednesday which led to eating crap (Potato chips, chocolate, carbs, etc.).  I did ride 45 minutes so I stayed under net calories, but just a bad day.  The only good thing I did was avoid alcohol. I was back on track yesterday and stayed under 1800 and 60 minutes on...

Weighed in at 246 - down 2 for the week and 19 for the year. If I can keep losing 2/week I will be satisfied.    Uneventful Sunday here. Ate right and 45 on the bike. My wife is gone for a week for work so I will either do very good or very bad on the diet.
