This is a kind of tongue in cheek thread after the "How can I stop losing weight as I'm cycling". But on a fairly serious note it turns out since I have started cycling I have GAINED nearly 10 pounds (and I wasnt that light to start off with!).
I spend about 5 - 6 hours a week on the bike averaging around 17.5mph so lets say doing 80 - 90 miles a week. This has been going on for about 10 weeks and I even did a 51 mile ride the other Saturday in 2:55. Now I weigh 200 pounds as opposed to the 190 I did when I started.
The whole idea of cycling was to get down to about 170. I dont think that I'm eating to badly - typical day:
Breakfast - cereal
Lunch - Sandwich (cheese or ham)
Dinner - Mash Potatoes and some meat or a pie perhaps (ice cream after)
Supper - Same as lunch
Bear in mind this was exactly what I ate before starting cycling and my weight was pretty stationary at 180 ish. Any ideas?
