This, dont worry so much about sticking to a number, just go with a range and realize weight will fluctuate. As long as it is within your acceptable range, no reason to react/overreact.

For that much weight so quick, its most likely water weight from increased sodium or you maybe ate more carbs than typical? Both can cause increase in water retention.

My personal favorite and guaranteed fire starter...anything related to "Starvation Mode" AKA "I ate 1,200 calories for 6 months and didn't lose any weight. Am I in Starvation Mode?"

FWIW I would say to set your activity at sedentary and track your exercise. Then eat half of the calories back to see where that puts you. Something seems wrong with your calculations and possible double dipping here...

Hit goal well over a year ago...and I am Maintaining using moderation....

80 oz of just water. Does not include any other sources such as coffee, tea, soda, etc. or water I drink during exercise.

Typical is 30-40 calories per mile cycling. Depending on effort level, fitness, etc. Something sounds off as I use Garmin 1000 for cycling and it is pretty spot on.

just keep the scale in a consistent place. Key is that you are tracking food appropriately and weighing in the same place and at same time of day. Most would recommend first thing in the morning as that will likely be your lowest point of the day prior to any water/coffee/etc.

We need to work on your definition of a "Cheat"....

Same as mine only its 105 average every day and I am riding.... "How do you stand the heat"

"----35% of US adults are obese " And we wonder why insulin resistance is approximately the same percentage or diseases associated with obesity?

5'10" - Between 160-170 depending on where I am at in training.

In maintenance now but pretty active so feel free to add me if you like.... Current list: Giant Talon 29er, Trek Remedy 8 27.5, Felt Z5, and Wilier Cento 1 Air...and counting

No goal, just training for a few events in August/September Mix of road and mountain biking: Distance: 207.17 mi Time: 16:01:17 h:m:s Elevation Gain: 6,272 ft Avg Speed: 13.6 mph Avg HR: 151 bpm Calories: 10,267 C

My exercise personally doesn't change for weight loss or maintaining. I road cycle approx. 3 days per week and mountain bike 1-2 with upper body training at least 1 day per week. Diet changes depending on needs (weight loss, cut, bulk, event training, etc...)

Does your heart rate monitor have a chest strap? Or what type is it? If chest strap, are you using gel or some other conductor when not exercising? Readings can be way off without sweat produced when exercising....try checking your pulse manually at rest. The exercise readings don's sounds too far off if you are working…

just popping in to say hey. Been off the bike for more than planned this month. But ramping it up as I have several events/races coming towards the end of August. So far for July....mixed between road and Mountain these days. Distance: 133.91 mi Elevation Gain: 4,412 ft Avg Speed: 13.4 mph Avg HR: 151 bpm Avg Bike Cadence:…

I know my hat size went down from lost weight. So I would assume you can possibly lose apparent height through fat loss. Not 100% sure thought as I remained the same height,....

Sunset...cuz ya sunrise happens waaayyy too early!

Rode mountain bike to a bar 2 blocks away and was out of breath. Decided it was time to get back in shape!

Look up the "Snowball" method

Did one recently where I did not log at all. Ate what I wanted and probably more so drank whatever I wanted. Ended up at about 1 pound gain after all was said and done. Although I did scuba dive 2-3 dives per day.

Approx 2200 per day with no exercise. With exercise I am typically around 3000 for maintenance.

No problems personally. I am similar in that I do road cycling and mountain biking. No way to get out of the heat where I live so need to hydrate better. Powerade zero fills the bill for electrolytes without messing up my tracking. Also occasionally use some cycling specific tabs to add electrolytes. But primarily drink…

Sounds like a good Friday...

Are you eating your exercise calories back?

Plenty of Garmin and other type watches out there that can record swimming.

^^ Definitely! That or popcorn...depending on the day.
