How much weight do you follow clydes put on during the winter. I personally gain 10-15lbs every winter.

 

[Guyechka]

Why?!

Why must you bring up this issue!? I don't even want to think about it. 10-15 sounds about right, but I plan on getting my fat ass out more this winter. I figure I can maintain or gain maybe only 5 lbs if I work out and watch the ice cream intake.

(Of course, how many times have we said that? "I'm going to do something this winter!")

You Suck!!!!(Just kidding)
I just got back into biking this year. You mean the weight doesn't stay off even If we don't ride our bikes?........
I'm trying to stay with it but it's tough i only have been on the bike twice in the past two weeks due to weather.
I just finished cleaning up my basement and made room for the crappy fixed bike but, i have a tv and cable down there now So, maybe I will use it a bit more.
I also am trying to get some people together to motivate me to get out in the cold and also making it safer to trail ride at nite.
I'm a big wuss riding in the woods alone in the pitch dark( I have lights but they don't light up enough of the woods for my taste!)

Yep.every winter I say "less beer and more exercise", but it ends up being "less exercise and more beer". This winter I am going to try and at least break even.

I was 215 at the beginning of the year. Now I am at 198.

The last couple of years, I put on twenty to twenty five pounds during the winter. I lost at least twenty pounds this summer and I am at 205lbs which is my normal healthy weight If I am not weight training. I plan to keep my weight gain to only 5lbs or so this winter. Depends how much I drink and eat over the holidays.

 

[biggsmoothe]

usually around 10lbs. i always tell myself that i'm "bulking up" during the winter, and that i'll "trim down" in the spring and summer. it sounds good anyway.

 

[Mellow Yellow]

I usually put on around 10+. I'm trying to buck that trend this year by at least maintaining. I need to drop 15 to 20 anyway for velodrome racing.

 

[mb3designs]

I normally gain around 20 pounds. Usually during the winter my friends are too pu$$ified to get out and ride in the cold so this year I got me a Blackburn Trackstand Fluid Trainer so I can maintain my fitness level throughout the winter months. When springtime rolls around I plan on smokin' those beeotches on the climbs.

high school

I am a junior in college now, but when I was in high school I went from about 155 in the summers to 190'ish during the school year, and then back down for the summers.
I wish I could get back to that 155.

if i want to lose weight, i poop. i am a static 220, if i gain weight it is because i am in the gym lifting, building muscle.

 

[jtrider]

I usually put on about 5lbs during the winter. Most of it around Christmas. The problem is over the past few years instead of losing most of it during the summer, I seem to keep a few extra pounds until the next winter.

 

[SuperClyde]

Usually 10lbs.

Fortunately, I planned a vacation with the wife in South Beach for after Thanksgiving, so that gave me a reason to Go Commando in the gym in October and November - so right now I'm holding steady. I plan on going ballistic again starting this week, so I can finish with a net loss by January.

BTW - I've been getting some great workouts at this website:

putting on the pounds..

I must stop eating like a pig and get moving. Usually I'm about 10lbs heavier over the winter, but I just weighed myself this morning and was shocked at the numbers. 226lbs at 5'10 1/2. Up 18lbs since the end of the summer. uuuhhh!!! I hate my new look. It's so easy to get fat. No excuses, I've been just lazy. Gotta bike and hike..

no longer clyde...please exit the forum

 

[SHIVER ME TIMBERS]

5 to 8 pounds

Living in southern California, this is pretty much a non-issue. Some might argue that you can do more in the outdoors in the winter around here as the heat in summer can be as much a problem as the 'cold' of winter.

Weight Gain?

Normally I probably would put on 10 pounds and just not keep it off.

I checked my cholesterol last fall and it was 294! With a 1 year old I wanted to get in better shape to be here and spend a lot of time with him. Anyway, started going to the gym at work 4 to 5 days a week. I have lost about 45 pounds in the last year and now have goal to hit 185 by April (no more clyde!).

I am not selling it, but I like this Diet Power software. So far a great way to plan weight loss. Anyway, looking to lose about 35 pounds this winter. Holidays have been, but still on track.

Good luck,

Ken.

How much weight do you follow clydes put on during the winter. I personally gain 10-15lbs every winter.

Generally, I would go from a rather svelte (yet not quite clyde) 190 to about 205. Well, this year 202 was my low. Currently at 217.Gotta try to keep it down so i can get lower in the spring. Having little time to ride, plus a job where i sit for 40 hours is really messing me up. 5 years ago I got down to 180, was training in the gym, and was nearly fast on the bike. A rather serious leg injury and a kid (read: less time-but it's cool) have really hampered my attempts to get back to that form.
So I guess my answer would be 15 lbs. Of beef and beer.
