I do my own stunts
So, I've been commuting 11x2 miles several days a week for eight months now. Starting out at 108kg for just under two metres so a BMI of about 27.5. Slightly overweight.
In eight months of cycling without especially restricting food I've lost quite a few cm from the waist but not very much weight. I guess this is fat into muscle, which is of course no bad thing. Certainly I find hill climbing much easier.
I was wondering how quickly people find they start to lose weight? I've been trying to eat high quality protein where possible but not really cut back on socialising so alcohol and restaurant meals either.
I'm potentially relocating jobs which will double the commute so thinking that hopefully that will start to drop the kg. I have suffered from food disorders in the past so trying not to get too hung up on it. But it would be good to know what to expect, partially to check I am not dropping weight too fast either.
