A pound of fat is ~3500 calories, so to burn two pounds of fat in a week, you need to burn 7k calories more than you eat. Reducing your caloric intake significantly (only drink water, no chips/fries, lean meats) with a cardio exercise (like biking) will get you there. <br />And as a bit of motivation, I'll leave this pic of a <a href="http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.starling-fitness.com/wp-content/uploads/p1010875.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.starling-fitness.com/archives/2007/06/22/one-pound-of-fat-vs-one-pound-of-muscle/&h=272&w=450&sz=59&tbnid=seSq8ZDzNqW8QM:&tbnh=77&tbnw=127&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dpound%2Bof%2Bfat%2Bversus%2Bpound%2Bof%2Bmuscle&hl=en&usg=__WO3vYunUag1-VW8CYtlSesewVaI=&ei=7lLxS4WGBYe2M8n4mN8P&sa=X&oi=image_result&resnum=4&ct=image&ved=0CCcQ9QEwAw" rel="nofollow">pound of fat versus a pound of muscle</a> for ya.

Apart from this time, I weight myself at about 7pm on a Sunday. This time was in the morning.<br /><br />What I did do though was to fill a jar of water and put it on the scales to see how much 0.8lb actually weighed. Its quite a lot really so I dont feel so bad. Still Id like to lose more on a weekly basis and need to consider how to achieve this in my schedule.KungFooSausagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04224434367416623291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5812750288811901406.post-3942371657114044652010-05-17T13:09:49.031+01:002010-05-17T13:09:49.031+01:00Remember man, muscle weighs more than fat! And yo...Remember man, muscle weighs more than fat! And you probably fluctuate at least 4 pounds during the day... are you weighing yourself at the same time each day? Early in the morning (as soon as you wake up) or late at night (right before you hop in bed) are the best times. Hell, a big glass of water can add 2 pounds on ya. But the biggest thing is exactly what you said. "admittedly generally felt better for it" If you are feeling better about yourself, then you are making steps in the right direction. Regardless... if you only lost a pound after biking 35 miles, just think how much you would have gained if you hadn't biked!Stouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16267476063892076584noreply@blogger.com
