Hi,
I've sadly put on weight. What kind of daily distance do I need to do,
to start bringing my weight down? Any one succeeded?

The only time I have managed to lose weight was when not cycling.
Cycling long distances makes you very very hungry.
I believe that your body has very effective calorie counters that make what
you are attempting to do difficult.

You still have to eat less than your hunger tells you to, although the good
bit is that the absolute quantity is larger.

In another thread I worked out that the 5000 miles a year I cycle burns up
nearly 3 stones of fat. I also watch my diet - I don't eat takeaways, pies,
pastries, biscuits, chocolate etc, mainly lean meat, pastas, rice and breads
and fruit +veg. I believe the cycling helps enormously in keeping my weight
down.

Yes. I lost 10 kg in 6 weeks by cycling about 1250 km on a tour of India.

Its mostly gone back on again :~(

If you burn about 3500 calories (IIRC) you loose about 0.5 kg.

It depends how you ride but an hour's ride might win you 500 cals.

Cycling alone is not enough. Its all about the balance between food in and
enregy out.

There are plenty of us about.
