Everyone is telling me I look too skinny ??

Cycling is just another cardio exercise. Weights are resistance based, but can be body weight such as push ups, squats, pull ups.

Weight training will not pump your heart rate especially high (maybe a little higher than resting), but you will definitely be sweating if you're doing it right.

Surely eventually I would lose the stomach if I carried on losing weight? If not why not? I don't get it. :-/

The thing is, you will continue to lose from other parts of your body too. I don't know about you, I want to lose weight to be healthy and look better. As I reached my goal weight, I still had an unhealthy waist-to-hip ratio. Then, I looked at the rate I was losing inches off my waist and hip, I figured that I would still have an unhealthy waist-to-hip ratio even after my weight dropped below healthy BMI. That's when I get more serious about strength training. If weight lifting is too boring for you, have you looked into body weight exercises like You Are Your Own Gym by Mark Lauren? I have started Body By You, the women beginner version from the same author. There is more variations in terms of kinds of exercises. And you can do it at home.

In the other replies you mentioned that you have emotion problems? The first thing I found out that exercising truly brings my mood up. I was a couch potatoes and moody. In the beginning, I was only using those 5-minute programs, 7-minutes programs. But now, I am running 3 times a week, following the Body By You another 3 days a week. Sometimes, I even fit in a swim or two. Just start small, you may be surprised by what you end up doing!
