I'm 50 and just keep getting bigger and bigger.

I started cycling 4 years ago under the delusion that the pounds would just magically melt away.

They haven't.

I cross train -- swimming a good bit and cycling a lot. I don't run much anymore because I have very bad foot problems, but I have managed four sprint triathlons in the last 3 years and hope to do another one or two this year.

It's frustrating to feel very fit and athletic and be overweight. And now I've gotten in this fat = depressed about it = eat more = gain weight cycle.

I hope that longer days will allow for even more exercise, but I'm kidding myself to think that I will lose a significant amount of weight this way.
