i think i'm the only person who GAINED weight (not just on the scale.. but my clothes too) after i took up cycling...

and no... it's not all muscle.. it's what i put into my mouth since i think i "can" since i ride... well.. WRONGO!!!!!!!!!! lol!

i do know at one point i was too thin... WAY too hard to maintain... NO cheating.. AT ALL... counting every little morsel... not matter how few the calories.... i gained a few pounds... ok... no problem.... i was still thin for me....

then i started cheating just about every weekend... UGH! now.. i'm MY opinion... i'm a cow.... cuz i have that extra 4-5 pounds over what i've decided my "ideal" is.... and a lot of my clothes are too tight! (and yes... 4-5 pounds on someone who is 5'3" is a LOT! and granted... a lot of them were bought when i was on my severe eating regime!)
