So far I have lost inches, clothes feel better and my times riding have improved 15 percent.
Over the last 8 weeks my weight has only moved 4lbs.
I obviously am going to stick with this, but getting frustrated at very little weight movement.
I am 5'6" 221 lbs
Yesterday rode two hours 30 miles and not afraid riding the miles.
Just want to see this weight drop.
Also my water intake is over 120 Oz.
Is this normal or will I plateau before it starts coming off.

I dropped 150+ lbs over a 2 yr period. There were lots of plateaus, and they can be frustrating, but you'll get there. Just keep in mind the simple fact that while calories in vs calories out works in the long run, daily (or even weekly) weight fluctuations are far more complicated. Losing 1-2 lbs a weeks aounds great, but it was a lot more like -5 lbs one week, +2 lbs the next week, unchanged the next week, etc/
