I used NOOM and it had me weighing myself each morning. I would see ups and downs by a few pounds but plotted on a graph, shows a downward slope. My big weight loss was from diet, not exercise. If anything, exercise works against weight loss when you are maintaining a 1,000-calorie deficit a day to achieve a two-pound-a-week loss.
I could ride myself thinner, and I've done that in the past, but it won't change my eating habits unless I address that as well. Right now, I am at a good weight to ride lots of miles and work my way towards a lower target about ten pounds away, but if I stopped riding for some reason such as illness, injury, or a Ph.D. program, I'm not going to look like Jan Ulrich in the winter.
