I lost 20 lbs in 20 days
 

Now I can justify a lighter bike

I'm pretty sure weight loss that fast isn't healthy. How did you do it?

Maybe it was all water weight ?

I found those pounds. Want them back?

1500 calories and ride 11 miles per day.... like a madman.

I cycle 44 miles a day, eat like there's no tomorrow, and still am 135#. If I lose pounds like you, I'd be invisible by now. :D

ya, I am 50 years old though. I bet our metabolism is different.

What he said.

I try try try to eat around 5000 calories a day. :(

I weigh 125 ;)

Good job dogbro! I too am trying to lose #'s and hope my success will be as good as yours. I ride about an hr each day...12miles give or take...long rides on weekends but just starting out but not dropping weight yet....but sticking with it...I never give up and I just love to ride.
Congrats once again!

I can't eat for jack's crap. I need this strange drink which gives me my nutrients which causes my body to refresh and need food. I could go for 3 days without eating, and not feeling that hungry. I wonder if I'm anorexic? Naw...Im like 5'3 -5'4 and am 115lb.

I think you forgot to mention that you had your COLON cleansed.

Of course it was water. Unless he had liposuction.

if it didn't sound so unpleasent, I might want to try that. i wonder how much i got just chillin in there.

"Chillin in there"? Probably more like stewing or steaming in there! :p

Hate to break it to you, but unless you're dying or seriously dehydrated, that's not possible. 1 lb is equivalent to 3500 calories. 20 lbs / 20 days = 1 lb lost per day. So to lose 1 lb per day for 20 days, that would mean you burned 3500 more calories per day than you consumed. Or, you burned 70,000 calories more than you consumed over 20 days!

Vigorous cycling at 15 mph will burn about 1000 calories/hr. That would be about 3 hrs/day riding. But if you're only riding 11 miles, that makes your speed about 4 mph, dropping you burn rate to 240 calories/hr. At which point you'd need to ride 290 hrs or 15 hrs/day....but that would lower the aforementioned 11 mile pace to 3/4 mph...........and on and on and on.

That kind of weight loss is un healthy

I have to disagree with Wildcard it is quite possible it's just a matter of the individual's situation. I was 265 (I should probably be around 195-200)when I started trying to lose weight last Feb. and just shifting my diet and exercising about an hour every day I lost 33 lbs. in the first 28 days. I'm not asserting that this is healthy and I have slowed the process greatly since then and have dropped another 33 lbs. since the initial blitz diet. I can nonetheless testify from personal experience that kind of weight loss can be achieved.

All that said I reiterate I don't think losing that fast is healthy and as some have said before alot of it is just water.
