HOW I LOST OVER 35KG RIDING MY BIKE - My cycling weight loss story

I was around 21 stone (135kg) when I first started cycling and triathlons back in 2012 and over the years I have lost over 35kg.
Even though that sounds impressive, it didn't happen overnight. It took years of hard graft to get where I am today, and I'm still not quite where I want to be.

One of the best comments I've heard in a long while is 3:48 when you say "This is because the fact that I was out exercising was far more important than the number on the scale". Well done and thank you for sharing.

Inspirational story Ryan Just started back cycling to work after 23 years of relying on a car and after a month I feel much better

[@prflyr]

Bro, fantastic video! Cheers! I've been an avid work out guy for 12 years now. I have recently placed a big emphasis on biking. Invested money and time in gear. In the past month I've love 8+lbs. I look forward to pushing myself further.

I have just started cycling myself. I’m a 43 year old bloke who hasn’t exercised in years. I weigh just over 120kg. My butt hurts from the saddle and my thighs are killing me but I’m glad to finally do something about the weight. Can you describe how it was for you when you started?

[@gettingcritfit]

My experience was very much the same at first. Though it does get better! If you can afford it, get a bike fit. If not, there are tonnes of videos out there that can help you get your bike setup into a comfortable. It’s sounds like your saddle might be too low.

[@_trust9994]

Yes, get padded shorts and gel seat cover. Life changing

[@chunkster0]

Any update??

[@ap5194]

Brilliant video. My weights been up and down my whole life, I know the feeling 👍🏻

[@yusufdomun303]

I am watching this cuz I gain 10kg in 1 year of University . Actually, I have 2 month of holiday before 2nd year starts. Planning to lose 15kg in 2 months... Hopefully I reach my goal .

[@alexkrasmo8411]

Wish there were more videos like this. You're doing it the right way. Concentrating on fitness and health. Doing it like this probably means you will be healthier for longer. Making it part of your lifestyle.

[@DamienDemolder]

How’s the weight loss going now. Maintaining?

[@thecyclingbean6806]

amazing vid and journey mate. well done!

[@tearitloosetearitloose4670]

This is just great stuff...well done you. Folks make your bike part of your life and you'll be surprised at the benefits. Physically and mentally..

[@ThePradyumnareddy]

How about cycle without gears good for fatloss? Or it is the gear cycle which makes you ride long and help in fat loss?

[@mikulusaurus]

Great video man! I wanted to ask, what type of bike did you get at first? I want to start cycling in order to lose weight too, but I'm worried about finding a strong enough bike 😅

[@gettingcritfit]

I started with a mountain bike with slick tyres. Upgraded to a Aluminium road bike after 6 months or so.

[@Jesusisgod444]

Your coffee intro was simply superb! 👀🤩

[@aliro1]

What difference do you think the exercise made like do you think that was the biggest factor in losing weight? Like if I eat at maintenance but cycle for miles and miles will the weight fall off? Thank you and keep up the good work I subscribed

[@gettingcritfit]

I think exercise made the most difference to my motivation and mental well being. To a point cycling more will help you lose weight, but if you don’t fuel correctly it may have the opposite effect. I’ve found more recently that a well balanced diet (less sugar, more whole grains, healthy fats and protein) and focusing on body composition might be a better way forward. And then just enjoying cycling!

[@Xxjunior-almeidaxX]

I just set up my bike I’m nervous to ride tho

[@travis080]

Good job man! Cheers from Japan!
