Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Everybody is different, and various things are happening, so you won't lose weight early on, and especially can't expect miracles in 2 weeks,

Exercise is part of a healthy weight loss regimen, but not a replacement for diet management.

Also, it's hard to gain strength and build muscle, while your body is denied the necessary fuel.

So, you can get fitter or stronger, or you can knock off the pounds, but cannot do both at the same time, except very gradually over the long haul.


Keep it up, watch your diet, eating only enough to keep going, and plan on losing 5-10 pounds a month, no more, and hopefully not less.

If you need encouragement, find it in feeling better, and your pants becoming looser.

BTW, once you achieve a certain level of fitness, you'll be riding faster and longer, which means you can burn more calories. It won't male you lose weight faster, but does mean you can relax a big on the diet, which makes staying the course easier.
