At 30-50 miles a week, I don't lose any weight. I just have a *lot* more endurance and can ride my partner into the ground. I can live with that.

Add in a light free weight workout 3x a week, and I still don't lose weight. 5 lb weights are enough to leave me sweating, but not enough help me lose weight. If I'm being good about my weight work tho, I go up to a new weight fairly quickly. I need more upper body strength, and I'm starting from a pretty pitiful point :-/.

My real goal isn't a particular weight or set of measurements tho. If I can do things like swim a mile or bike 50 miles, that's a *lot* more than I've ever done before. If the weight comes off, that's good. If it sticks, well... if I don't have more muscle from biking and swimming, the world is a strange strange place *g*. I'd rather have habits that leave me with muscle than beat myself up over my weight.
