How much weight have you lost this summer?
I stepped on the scales this morning and was pleasantly surprised and while I ride for pleasure and the environment fitness and health maintenance also plays a part in it.
Perhaps you are consciously trying to loose weight or not - how much have you lost since say Dec 1?
I have been commuting a couple of extra days a week this year, doing a hill session one morning and a Sunday 60km ride and I've been going to training with Matt Lloyd once a week as well as watching what I eat and my portions sizes.
(of course you can keep your weight confidential but for the record I've lost 3.5 kgs or so--- and I just ate a Cherry Ripe, albeit a min-ish one)

How hard is that hill up to Hallet Cove as I still find them hard at my weight. Hey maybe I can wait at a cafe at Brighton while I wait for you guys to come back down the hill. LOL

Mark ride the bike track from Marino to Hallett Cove, a lot easier than the road. I assume you are thinking of Cement Hill, that's a bitch.
@ Rob Cormorant is a double bitch.
Helen I could join your Seacliff ride for the return leg if you put it up as an event

Have lost 6kg since 01/01/2011. Combination of watching my diet & riding more. How long I can keep it up remains to be seen. Aiming to lose about 10 to 15kg more.

your right.... this week all I've been living on is an orange for brekkie..... a pear for lunch and clear broth soup for dinner.... I figured i can;t afford to put the weight on whilst i'm not exercising.... and drinking warm green tea throughout the day (only cause i'm sick) and then i will go back to my normal foods i promise
but tonight my son made pizza and it was just a boring cheese one.... and ummmm welll i had a piece...
was yummy though

The great thing about Aussie barbecues is that we burn the food /before/ we put it in, saving our bodies the trouble!

Great Thread Angus. It is interesting to read everyones' stories.
I am genetically thin and am often told that i am 'lucky'. However, before taking up cycling more regularly, i felt 'fat' on the inside. Certainly wasn't as fit as i am now. I have lost 2kg so i am 60.6kg now, with BMI 20.2, although i wasn't aiming to loose any weight.
Interestingly, i noticed that because i was more active my food intake increased, you know how it is, snacks on the ride, eat like a horse after a ride and maybe even before. This does start to go bad though as i noticed that as my fitness increased, i could actually reduce my portion sizes and maintain a healthy weight.

You'd loose an extra 500 grams if you shaved your legs judging by this photo.
