I used to ride weighing around 61 kgs, but now I'm nearer to 63 or 64 kgs, and I can't seem to get back down...
However I'm told by SWMBO that I have gained muscle in my legs and bum.....
Could I have gained 2 or 3 kgs in that area, and no fat??
What is your waist measurement doing?
If you really wanted accuracy, multiple skinfold measurements and waist measurements over time would be helpful...
That's a good question. Waist unchanged cos I'm still comfortable in 30" Levis.
I have a band of muscle on the front if my thighs that runs from outside (high) to the inside of the knee, slanting inwards, which I've seen on a couple of Severn Road Club riders, who I know have done huge distances for donkey's years, so maybe that's it?
I get silly body fat reading from my scales which change if I have a leak or if my feet are sweaty or dry.
Skinfold not done but I'm not really worried, more interested in the diagnosis. If it's muscle then I should stop worrying. If it's fat I should maybe knock off eating the 'feeds six' trifles and large Ben n Jerrys after my rides.....
