I managed to actually find time inbetween uni stuff and band time to actually spend some time on my bike. New pedals, new saddle, new helmet (yes, I decided to wear one!).
Result? In two months I've lost 30lb, and I can now run a good mile without stopping.
I'm hoping that if I can get back to my peak fitness I can run for uni cycling team.
I'm happy anyway...

About how many miles are you putting in a week, and where?

|  | Registered User | | | | There's road and MTB, get your butt out on the trails!
Have to wear a brain bucket there, trees whizzing by at 30-40mph.....
You are more likely to die, get nailed on road cycling though.
Faster, less protective gear, cars.......other people etc.
Spend 15-20 hours a week in the saddle, you'll get thin.
But whatever amount of time is better than none.
I started to see more of nature and trails I liked to run.
I do running one day, Cycling the next.
Mix MTB with Road.
Makes the works interesting.
Then you are all mellow and can play well 
No more Bass Belly
Regards,
Tom Barr

2 stone, 2 lbs if I recall correctly. | Yep, I went to a big racing specialist and got properly kitted out and measured.
And yes, that is 2st 2lb. Quote:

| | Banned | | Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: New York City | | | Congrats! I have a similar story from 4 years ago: made the switch from "casual utility cyclist" to "serious recreational cyclist" and lost 20lbs. Unfortunately I suspect this sort of thing only happens once...despite the fact that I keep riding harder, longer, and faster each year, I'm not losing any more weight (!), but it's been trivial to maintain that initial 20lb lost so I'm not complaining. |
