To answer a couple questions.....I know what my baseline in both cycling and eating has been. And, I know that my riding is consistent and my eating has been reduced. Can I quote absolutely accurate numbers? Probably not. But, I know that there are differences. And, those differences would suggest weight loss. And, I have lost about 2" in my waist. It's also been 5 days since my last ride. It was a fairly strenuous one. About 50 miles with 3200 ft. of climbing, most of which was in the first 30 miles. So, is it still water retention? I could understand weight loss taking some time to occur and I'm just being impatient. But, why weight gain and my waist keeps getting smaller? I'm having trouble reconciling that. FWIW, based on the way I look and feel, my actual weight does not bother me. Wanting to lose some more is about being a cyclist and climbing.
