I've been watching the portion size also, and am experiencing the 1 lb/wk loss. I am the lightest I have been in 20 years. Just had a bike fit that dropped my seat almost 2 cm! Old age and an inelastic prostrate caused me to change to an Adamo Attack seat so that I could pee after a long ride, and I am still getting used to finding the right position. It works, but it is weird. Top end speed is up a lot, and my spin is much better after the fit. (Thanks, Nate!). Gym is also coming along, am on SS beginner at 3 x5 by 225 squat (I'm 5'5" and 140 lbs and 64 yrs old). Going up 2.5 lbs/ workout. Target is 280-300 lb 5x5 squat. Should be doable with time and work in a couple of months. Now if I can just stay healthy. I just saw Heather Moise of the Canadian Bobsled team (she trained for a while with our group at VSC last year) doing squats with 168 kg. I am inspired!
