Addiction LXXX

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Thanks that helps a lot. My normal calculated wattage is around 150 watts for training, one hour effort kinda rides. So if its set for 200 then that would make sense that it was harder than my normal one hour pace/exertion level.

So right now I eat lunch @ work. But veggies for dinner. Coffee for breakfast. Ill give this a couple weeks and see what the loss rate is. Hopefully I won't have to get any more serious than that. I'm not looking for miracles, just steady loss. If spring finds me @210 or so that would be just fine.
That sounds like hell.

If it works for you, that's awesome, but I'd fall on my face after a couple weeks, at most. It's just much more sustainable for me if I'm monitoring my daily intake/burn and then micro-indulging with a beer or treat in the evening (if it'll still keep me under my prescribed daily deficit).

My father told me how stupid I was, (I already knew). They didn't know why and I didn't tell them.
Eventually got a better job and could buy all the beer and food I wanted and went up close to 260#.

I'm 6'2" with a big frame.

I was tested @13% body fat @ 220#

I looked it up. I was close it is isoniazid.
How did you get exposed to TB?

I started going positive on skin testing about 20 yrs ago and people kept trying to treat me. Then my daughter converted and they gave us both Quantiferon gold tests, the modern gold standard. I, who had been cared for by a Native American nanny, grown up in lower Manhattan, and trained in inner city hospitals was negative, and suburban private school girl was positive. Go know.

0h, and daughter got a rip-roaring allergic reaction to isoniazid and has been resisting treatment since.

no idea. My mom was a nurse and might have gotten exposure through her. I was a yute and just followed orders from the man.
