Just thinking about this today. I'm less on the trainer and more on the road within the last couple of weeks.

An hour or so after finishing a ride, I'm absolutely ravenous. Snacking and eating like crazy. I'm not tracking intake, either, nor denying the appetite. I'm not tracking my weight, but seem to be holding steady. I'm seeing no increase in size of all those fatty places like love handles and top of the belly. Way more leg and abdominal muscle definition now, though.

During the last physical in Sept., the Doc told me maybe another 5lbs., if I want, but would rather not see me that light. Been this way for about three years now. I ride from one to two hours daily. I have a feeling that I'm burning more than the ordinary cyclist as the temps have consistently below freezing, not to mention the snow and ice....and those durned studs that feel like they make my wheels square!

Weight loss doing cycling has been relatively easy for me. I feel badly for those who expend great effort and diligent record keeping, and still have a tough time shedding lbs. I'm so lucky in so many ways.
