I started cycling to lose weight, and it was slow as I built more muscle. But even during the plateaus I seemed to be getting thinner, according to how my clothes fit.
Funny that you say this. I actually feel swollen the day after my hard workouts. Holding water, repair and recovery. I like it!

A few years ago, I was training for a big race. DH helped me train. I gain 5 pounds, he lost 12. grrrhhhhh.......
