I agree pretty much with everything said, but it's still hard when you stay at a plateau for a long time. I went from 240 to 215 last fall, and I was happy to keep my weight under 220 throughout the winter, but now I've been around 215 for 3 weeks despite hitting 100 miles per week during that time. I know the reasons why -- muscle mass, different amounts of food still in your body, plus your body stores more water when it is refueling glycogen stores after a big ride -- but it still gets frustrating! I just know that if I keep up my riding and watch what I eat, the pounds will eventually come off -- I've also seen that it happens all the sudden -- one day I'll wake up and be 2 pounds lighter. I'm definitely going to try fitday or dailyplate -- my fiance tells me that I really need to keep a food journal to see where I can shave off a few more calories.
