fit

Hello there.
I have recently upped my cycling mileage considerably.
Losing weight has occured (which is great) but my trousers are still too tight in the waist. Also my shirts are becoming tighter across the chest?

I find that chocolate and pies make my trousers shrink !

Buy some bigger or stretchier clothes?

Easier to ride the bike than doing chest presses with it.

I remember your other post about your 20 mile commute. How's it going? How many days are you doing?

Five days a week. 200 + per week. Did 258 miles last week as road on the Saturday as well. Going well. Eat everything in sight. Burning 1700 calories per day and gone from a 36" waist to a 33" but clothes still don't fit? Weird.

Blimey. Well done. That's an awful lot of commute.

I have trouble with trousers , it because of my upper thigh/ ass area is hard to get trousers to fit even if the waist is ok.

I honestly didn't think I could do it. I still love cycling and am now making the rides more interesting by attacking various hills or roads. Highly recommend.

Sorry to hear but glad it is not only me. Thought I had shrunk all my clothes, lol. I have found Diesel jeans with a bit of stretch work.
I think American or German brands do too. They are both bigger races after all.
