Help: Boardman HT Comp 650b, Sell Or Keep?

I would eat around 5 - 6 times a day but you wouldn't class them all as full on meals. Your comments on meal frequency is completely random and ignorant at best. You can't know the size or nutritional make up to say that 40% is energy and the rest fat. You fail to see that more smaller meals would be better for you than say two larger ones. You carry on with the same habits and complain that nothing has changed. Why would you expect otherwise?

Unfortunately you are not alone. There are plenty of the population that have their heads stuck up their own arses when it comes to nutrition. Completely clueless about what and how they should eat yet apparent experts in what works for them and resistant to any form of help and advice as they know better.

If I were you I wouldn't be waiting for heart disease or diabetes before making necessary lifestyle changes. This may come across a but harsh but being brutally honest is the best policy at times.

My Cree lights came today, I was amazed at the brightness. I'm overjoyed and happy I have a good set of lights, maybe I shouldn't have spent £10 on the ones cooldad suggested, they are too small and are not bright enough. I'll need some for the rear now or I think the Nima ones will do fine. Went riding today did 35 mins and took a different route. It was quite foggy so the lights did the job. I think they are fantastic value for money and many thanks for the person who recommended me them, it was 2 people I think.

I can see clearly now

Thanks, I appreciate it. You mentioned a while ago that other lads your age are going out getting absolutely plastered all the time, well fair play to you for avoiding that, I wish id been able to do so...the attitude in the UK to alcohol abuse is staggering. Kids going out getting so hammered they wake up in hospital, or a prison cell, covered in crap, bruises etc...and people just laugh and say, "oh he just had a few too many" when in reality theyre probably pretty close to dying from alcohol poisoning. Absolutely shocking.

People are amazed at my transformation, and say "how did you do it?", and i just reply "Dont eat cr@p; move your ar$e". Its really not rocket science...

That's it. I've said it before. But I seriously CBA!

Thanks I was raised in a religious environment and community which helps a lot and I had access to a lot of internet and free time researching the Islamic religion a couple of years back. It's not what they show you in the media, that's false. Islam is a beautiful religion and will remain until the end of time. It's just a war against islam which is not being covered by the media, they don't want you to know the truth behind their divide and conquer rule in the middle east. God teaches us to obey the law, respect everyone, be courteous but if someone puts his hands on ya, send him to the cemetary. or you could simply forgive him/her.

The thing is right, we are a nation which promotes promiscuity. Just look at the billboards, they promote sexuality and freedom to express sexuality at a young age. The models on the billboards and advertisements are teenagers and over 18 year olds who think that by staying at home and raising children, cooking, cleaning and working 9-5 they are being oppressed. What oppresssion? that is how life goes for majority of women who go on to become mothers. So they feel that by trying to meet the expectations of society they feel the need to expose themselves and escape a life free from so called oppression.

But with alcahol, the dangers of it are when you are drunk you can't recognise who for who and distinguish this from that. You end up committing illegal sexual intercourse, fornication, adultery and it might look appealing at first when girls are naked in a nightclub and an individual is drunk but when they wake up next morning after a one night stand and police are involved because the girl reported rape, then it becomes obvious at what an evil alcahol is. Then the person tries to say he didn't do it he was drunk but the police won't believe it, they will say, it was you and your state of mind at the time of the crime, you knowingly slept with her knowing well you were drunk. Sometimes the individual does know he is drunk, it's a state of consciousness. It is a work of satan we believe. In paradise we will have rivers of wine, as Jesus taught and the final prophet, but it won't be wine which makes you drunk. It will be of a pleasure to those who drink from it's rivers. The test is to refrain from it in this world which for some of us is easy to do but for once upon a time addicts may be a very hard thing to do. These kids don't know what they're doing and are messing with their and other peoples lives. Society is sex mad!

The verse in the final revelation states that, "(Here is) a Parable of the Garden which the righteous are promised: in it are rivers of water incorruptible; rivers of milk of which the taste never changes; rivers of wine, a joy to those who drink; and rivers of honey pure and clear. In it there are for them all kinds of fruits; and Grace from their Lord. (Can those in such Bliss) be compared to such as shall dwell for ever in the Fire, and be given, to drink, boiling water, so that it cuts up their bowels (to pieces)?" Verse (47:15)

Don't be fooled at different types of drinks. The final prophet said that 1400 years ago, "in the end times, alcahol will be known by many names."

In them days it was just barley and grapes and whatever else alcahol is made from. Nowadays, it's know by many names. Alcahol I reiterate causes widespread corruption and is the destruction of a nation. We know of it's dangers yet we promote it and spend billions promoting it, seems like people and educated people can't have a good time without it. Sad really. But good on ya for giving it up, try to promote it if you can, teach people about it's dangers and show them examples and do what you can to avoid going back to it.

I've decided to keep it as it's a nice bike it cost me £590. Bought it in August and it's now November. I've only been actively riding it past 3 weeks mainly in evenings and the odd morning when I can be bothered. Need to make use of it, and a lot of use that is.

How often do you ride if you don't mind me asking and whats ya diet like?

Cody

Was just wondering if anyone does Vlogging on YouTube? I want to start but need a good camera so I'm saving up for one. I've seen some cyclists upload videos of themselves Vlogging at various places talking about various things etc good idea anyone?

If you don't really ride and have nothing of use to say then why?

Then again Gogglebox is a complete turd and people go bandy for that so maybe your luck is in.

Crystal meth and special brew for me. Occasionally a nice bit of Cocaine, but only off a hookers boobs.

Special Brew? Health nut I see.

Methylated spirits strained through a crust of bread for me. Brown bread naturally.

Hi, just been a tad busy at work and doing some stuff. Last 2 days, really struggled to squeeze in 3 meals. Got up in morning and had a porridge at 9am, had a lunch at 2pm just a sandwich and drink, then at 6pm had a small pizza about 3 slices and some chips then went out for a ride 2 hours later. Managed to do an extra 10 mins riding uphill before it started to rain. So went out at 8pm, came back at 8.43pm. To finish off the day, I had a banana, pear, orange and kiwi fruit smoothie in a blender with an added 1 and half glass of water. Next morning woke up, had to keep going toilet. My brother said I had no fibre in my system. Usually I go toilet once every 2 days because I don't eat as much which I thought was a good thing.

Today I just don't feel like riding at all. I don't know why.

Question is, do I have to keep this up in order to get strength for riding and for losing lots of weight, because I really struggled and my stomach couldn't cope. It's early days do you think? my stomach might expand if I continue to eat 3 moderate meals a day for a couple of weeks.

I plan to take a week off work in the 1st or 2nd week of December and I plan to attempt the canal ride which is a 14 mile trek but mostly what I'll be doing that week is working on my house project and learning how to drive on the motorway as I don't have enough experience on those kind of roads. But will want to make as much time for cycling as possible in that week off. Maybe I should get out early after my prayer time at 7am and head on out on through the woods on to the canal and to my destination which all together might take an hour? and then do a bit of window shopping for a couple of hours, have a bite to eat and catch train back home and then cycle through park all way home. Seems like it's do-able but will take some effort. Sometimes I kinda feel a bit cautious going a bit further than before I don't know why, maybe my mental state is weak.

So, let's get this right, you think that eating pizza and chips is the way to lose weight?

That's the most random thing you picked out of a randomly random post?

Now we're getting sh1tting habits.

I gave up after pizza and chips. I'll have to go back and read the rest. But if we've gotten round to sh!tting I'm going to have to wait till after I've had my tea.

Cody

I couldn't resist after weeks of not having pizza. I needed some strength. I don't eat a lot of meat or chicken you see.
Today I've had porridge at 9am, lunch at 2pm and a curry at 7pm.

I'm feeling very full and bloated but I hope this is for the better and that it helps support my cycling and fitness and weight loss.

yes, i will. soon.

I have access to a dietician and nutritionist at my local hospital where I spent some time in couple of years ago. I know one of them very well and they can work with me on a one to one basis.

I'll make an appointment soon.

neilus

Good. Because when you say things like ^^^^, and youre being serious, then its really quite alarming.
Good luck with increased eating, it will be hard at times and the increase needs to be very gradual. I get some wierd eating problems where i dont eat enough from time to time, and you know what I have? Weetabix. It is a seriously healthy cereal, no nasty additives, lots of fibre, slow release carbs, and when its mushed up with milk it goes down really easy, just like baby food...give it a try!

I know a guy called Chris Pearson in Southampton. He`s gluten intolerant though so cant be him.

As for pizza and chips as diet foods and sh*tting once every 2 days - I am out. I cannot give any more advice beyond a heavy weight, some rope and a deep lake will make the bad go away.

Cody

thanks guys, haven't been cycling 2 days now, just worried about something and can't get it off my mind.

hope all is well?

Try going for a ride.
I do a lot of thinking sorting my head out when I run or ride - very theraputic!
