[QUOTE=CR400] My recent problem besides the mysterious 11 pound weight gain I have gone thourgh since April, it should be noted that this is when my serious outdoor training started, hill, headwinds and all. Is I have to peel my normal sizes off my thighs. The jeans I tried on Friday were worse then taking off my cycling shorts ever are. Mind you I've never been known as a thick thighed woman. QUOTE]

I have notice about a 10 lb. weight gain in the last 4-5 months. Although I commute about 2-3X a week, I am "careful" to have carbs before and after rides. I have hard, expanded muscle but still have the fat over it.

I had a false sense of security in regards to eating. I though I'd burn it all off and realized I have been much more liberal in portions too. Live and learn I guess.
