    How "old" is your saddle?

    I don't know much about weight loss and saddles, but gonna give my two cents worth anyway

    I have had my Dolce saddles for 2 and 3 years now. In that time I have "deliberately misplaced" 8 kgs (15-16 or so pounds?). I have found my seats more comfortable if anything and I guess that is because I have less weight on the saddle itself when I sit.

    I think (I am only postulating here and am fine with being corrected) that if I had carried alot of weight in my buttocks, then I might have a wider seat to support not only sitbones well, but also the extra flesh. And as my bottom shrank, I might need a narrower seat.

    The upshot is, if your saddle doesn't feel right, try out some other ones.
    It may not be weight loss that is affecting your comfort - it could be that you have changed your position on your bike, or your form/fitness, and you need to alter either the position of your saddle, or the saddle itself...

    Good luck...

    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".
