Hi
Just joined this as i have been reducing my food intake for 2 weeks and doing 5 cycle rides a week so far and need to track whats going on, this web site and apps was recommended and i must say is pretty good.
I am quite surprised to se my weight go up rather than down in the first few weeks i presume this will turn around as my body gets used to what going on.
Keep loosing those pounds

Maybe you're bulking up? Muscle is heavier (higher density) than fat. Taking measurements can sometimes give a better indication of progress than the scales.0
