It seems counterintuitive, but it is something I have had to really keep an eye on. That ability to easily keep off the weight can at times be a bit of a headache.
My 32 pound weight loss isn't 100% do to the bike as I've also been much more careful with my diet for the last couple months. I'd guess the bike is responsible for 65% and diet the other 35% of the loss.
Now my problem is that my pants don't fit so well, but fortunately I still have pants from before my Homer Simpson phase.
