Yeah, but then when the weight goes up after drinking some water to re-hydrate it could be a negative.

The thing I recently discovered that is helping to motivate me is that in an old study, for every 12 pounds lost, cycling speed increases by 1 mph Based on that, when I get down to my target weight, I will cruise at 30+ mph on my hybrid... if I move to a road bike, I may go try that Tour de France thing.
