I know what you mean 4F. I was within a whisker of my 12st 7 target at the middle of July but have fluctuated a bit since and seem to be around 13 st 4 ish, at the mo. I will settle to get back down to sub 13 for the Winter and push on again to target, come the Spring.

after my ride on saturday I weighed 15st, my lowest for about 5 years

unfortunately once I'd put the liquid back in my body I went back up to 15st7

still quite happy to have seen 15st though!

I lost 1.8 lbs in the first few days of the month but in the last week and a half I've lost nothing despite increasing my level of cycling loads recently and sticking to my diet. I know that logically it must be because I am gaining more muscle in my legs but I don't see it and find it quite disheartening to see the same weight on the scales each day.

If you are dieting and increasing activity then I doubt you are gaining muscle. I would weigh again in a week and the result you were after will probably show up. I found that the numbers on the scales tend to lag behind what you think you should have achieved for that particular week.

Jan 1st - 202lbs 14st 6lb
Feb 1st - 199lbs 14st 3lb
Mar 1st - 195lbs 13st 13lb
Apr 1st - 194lbs 13st 12lb
May 1st- 191lbs 13st 9lb

Not been in here for a while, things didn't go well after my last update, somehow managed to go back up to 199lbs by the end of August, happily I now have things back under control and am currently 191lbs again
Hopefully better progress before the inevitable Christmas gain.

200g off target weight. Come ON!

Not bad for three months' effort. About a stone and a half.

I try to get on the scales once a week, so I don't get mixed messages. I lost the first stone easily but have stayed at 19st for a few weeks, but that is now dropping. The only intake I have cut out completely is alcohol. The exercise on the bike is doing the rest.

Well done Docnige, I take it the purple line was the projection and the blue line was the actual journey?

Not quite. The blue line was the journey. The purple line is a post-hoc calculation made by the software of the trajectory.

Even better............
