    You have to remember as well that the same commute everyday will not make you lose more weight. Initially you will, but you must continuously change the intencity of your excercice as well as incorporporate new type of exercises, running for ie that will 'shock your body and help you shift the weight. Once your body gets used to the same work out, it burns less energy ...

    But you all probably know that already ....

    I'd have to disagree with that, losing weight is a simple matter of calories in vs calories out. Whether it is the same workout or not makes absolutely no difference. It is true though that as you lose weight you will burn less calories doing the same amount of exercise. Also, for most people looking to lose weight addressing diet will get better results than excercise alone.

    I am only telling you what my fitness instructor told me when i was stuck on a plateau for 2 months not losing any weight ...

    I lost 2 stones when I started cycling a couple of years ago to get to a very acceptable BMI. Initially I lost the first stone in just 2 months, lowering my calorie intake to a max of 1400/day plus adding exercice.

    Now if I was to only eat 1400 cals a day I would be in bits after 30 minutes of cycling :) It's hard to reduce your intake when you cycle an average 60k a day 5 or 6 days a week ...

    Then again ... I am no expert :pac:

    Thanks guys,

    My worry is if I skipped my porridge in the morning before the commute I would probably eat some rubbish in the canner once I got in - the ned-kelly wont go far with that going on !

    I do longer rides at the weekend so I am totaling about 170kms per week now, and it does seem to be helping

    Thanks again
    Rob
