226 here. Seems the more I bike, the more weight I gainI'm drinking only water, and if I have a small snack when I get home, it's less than 200 calories. I'll assume it's muscle, but it's frustrating!

I did not lose weight when all I was doing was biking. The weight loss really started when I started doing weights and intense core work.
A little self horn tooting: I'm wearing low rise jeans today and my honey informed me that I have no muffin top.

I missed last week's weigh-in because of some work insanity (so it slipped my mind). I weighed on Monday and noticed that with all of my travel and grabbing food at restaurants, I was holding water like a freak (I had bloated up to about 237). The water is starting to come off finally.
This morning: 231.
Still up from my last weigh-in, but I know it's just water. It should make an exit by the end of the weekend.
Oh, and re: weight loss and biking. I *gained* weight when I started biking. And then I injured myself and gained more weight. Unless I'm lifting (fairly heavy) weights, I don't lose. If I don't manage to get into the gym to lift 2-3 times a week, my weight (and measurements) stays the same, or starts to climb. Cardio alone just doesn't do it for me when it comes to controlling or losing weight.
