    That all sounds good to me. How intense are those 10-15 miles? Can you increase the intensity or the mileage at least a few times a week?

    What's more important to you, how you look in your jeans or a number on the scale?

    It sounds like you're enjoying some good body recomposition (less fat, more muscle) and are on the right path. But I entreat you to add some lower body work in the gym; cycling isn't a substitute for lower body strength training.

    Nice work!

    Two pounds down in two weeks sounds just fine to me. And if you are already inches smaller in that time frame, I wouldn't worry about it. It sounds like you are making great progress!

    Hey—I'm jealous. I'm only down about 1lb after six weeks of eating 1600 calories or less and I haven't lost any inches.

    Hang in there, it will start to come. Try changing up your workout to shock your body. Some interval workouts should get things moving.
