    From my experience, cycling can indeed lose weight. However, you must pay attention to your diet. You can't ride a bicycle very little, but eat a lot. Trust me.

    I suspect all the contributors to this thread are all painfully cogniscant of that fact. It's also possible to ride a bike a lot and still eat enough to put weight on.

    My new-year weigh-in sees me at a an all too familiar stone overweight. I shall chip in again as soon as I see some progress on the scales...

    I got back to my regular scale. Darn Xmas...

    Sadly, it seems my usual scale underreports my weight by about 1 kg. Therefore, I won't be replacing it with a newer one that reports body fat and assorted quantities.

    PS: Touched the layout. Please please give me LaTeX formatting.
    PPS: In a conciliatory sign, I have removed the space between my digits and the units. However, convention says there should be a small space separating both, and there mustn't be a line break between the digit and the unit.

    Erm how is that formatting better?

    Because:
    1) All lines are equal length
    2) Floats are aligned on the period

    Real Pros also use consistent units throughout, and therefore only specify those in the column descriptors.

    So I did it again end of last year, put on over a stone (8kg) in the last 10 weeks of the year.
    That's a LOT of extra weight to be carrying up them there hills :shock:
    I will try not to do so this year, but I said that last year :roll:

    Anyway, here we go again - back on the Turbo in earnest, have been since December, but on a reduced program, 3 sessions\3.5 hours per week. Planning to start joining some LBS rides in due course every other Saturday in all likelihood to see if that can partly replace the reduced turbo time.

    Feeling pretty motivated at the moment, training going well, have cut down the cr@p I was eating massively, so full speed ahead for the next few months, and once the clocks go forward, game on.
    Aiming for a new and highest FTP (For me) this summer as well, or in time for the Hill climbs at least - have started not too badly, as am already some 24 watts up on where I was this time last year (And in fact I did not match that until May), so hoping to improve on my highest numbers by 20 watts or more come the tail end of the year.

    I've been making great progress on the weight loss since Xmas but the weekends undo a lot of that and now i'm back to back working meetings/dinners and then family holidays. I dont think it'll be until late March before i can actually start a real plan of either diet or exercise.

    Slow old start to this years weight loss; Christmas leftovers, a family 30th birthday weekend and an engagement party to blame. Back on the 5:2 proper and the needle's finally moving in the right direction...Onwards and downwards!

    WHile it's too cold to cycle regularly, I am going to have a stab at a 5 + 2... not going to make the 600 KCal cutoff on fasting days, I'll try 1000 and see what happens
