Caveat - I do not actively try to lose wieght as am a scrawny fucker, but do monitor my weight as part of my training etc....
I appear to have lost about 3kg in a week. I was out riding a lot in the pyrenees last week (around 300-350 mountainous miles in 6 days) and ate well. This week has been a recovery week... when i got back i was about my normal weight, but this morning i'm all of a sudden 3kg lighter.
I use tanita scales, which are supposedly very reliable, and i';ve not experienced odd readings in the 9months i've had them. Is a 3kg sudden drop possible?!?! The scales have been stored upright rather than flat for a week to make a bit of space, that doesn't affect things does it? I typically keep them flat
