...but I was already a stick!

Same here -- when I was commuting. Weight dropped from 210 to 185 in 4 months.

Me too! over 30 pounds in about 4 months simply by biking twice per day! And I ate just about anything I wanted. Let's write a book. Maybe we can even get on Oprah!

Oh wait, our diet plan involves exercise, which means most people will not even consider it. That's a shame.

Hey guys, quick question for you all. What kind of distances are we talking about for your commutes? I live about a 12 miles from work, so it wouldn't be too bad of a ride (the only problem is the traffic..nto a good direct route to commute)
Thanks!

That's the rub ain't it? I commute 2x a day, and eat ALL DAY LONG because I'm just so darn hungry! Anything I want. . . and I even lose weight that I want, but can't regain. 174 lbs to 167 and I can't seem to get it back. I may have to resort to more weight lifting or something.

You'd think that would have people clamoring for the secret: I eat anything I want, whenever I want and lose weight. Small Print: Requires one to get off their lazy ass... er, wait, get your lazy ass out of a car and onto a bike, yeah that's it!

I'm 5' 7". I used to weigh 142.
After 6 months of biking, I now weigh 148.
Gained 6 pounds, lost 4 notches on my belt.
Tighter stomach means it expands less and I can't eat a lot at a single sitting anymore. It's like I had my stomach stapled. The more I need to eat, the less I can.

It's like the ultimate obese person's dream and my most horrible nightmare! :)

Maybe you should be trying to add notches to your bedpost rather than losing them from your belts.

For me, about 9-10 miles in the morning (as hard as I can push), then about 10-15 in the afternoon to avoid traffic (taking it a little slower). When I really dropped the weight I was occasionally putting in a 20+ miler in the afternoons, one day per week.

I don't get it :(

Wow! I also went from 210 lbs to 185lbs in about 5 months. Also down 4 notches on my belt.;)

I don't get it :(

notches in the bedpost represent how many women you've slept with and is a way some men keep score.

Never mind oprah, be on Dr Phil! All those people who are trying to lose weight. These are people who drive FOUR BLOCKS to work. Tell Dr Phil about YOUR weight loss plan- the cycling plan!
