I’m the only person in the world who can do one hour of intense leg torture, one hour of cycling in 101 degree weather, drink and eat appropriately and gain weight. It’s a gift.

I’m not sure I would want that gift, but apparently I have it as well anyways.
What are you eating that might be causing the weight gain?
No No – I did a Half Iron Triathon (44 minute swim, 3 hour and 37 minute ride and 2 hour and 24 minute run) and gained 3 pounds. I’ve got you beat, girl!
That’s why they call you “gifted”.
Sadly, I don’t think you’re that gifted Susan. You were probably dehydrated before you started, then overcompensated.
Where’s the torture video?
Ah yes, you gifted athletes! You may have super powers….
Or perhaps, like many, you’re focussing too much on weight rather than body fat percentage? You may have burned calories but gained muscle. Too many women worry too much about weight rather than losing fat and toning up…

How as the riding???
You should throw your scales in the garbage (memo to self). You are a fit and attractive woman.
I totally agree with Scott; he’s got great taste!

It’s muscle.
I’m pretty sure I share that lovely genetic gift. Remind me sometime to show you the spreadsheet and graph I made that shows my “theoretical” weight loss via caloric deficit vs. my actual weight loss/gain. Hah!
you might want to have your thyroid checked just in case.
ok, please don’t hate me, but I have the total opposite issue. This past Thanksgiving, I took off from training on Thursay and Friday, ate like a whale, and lost 3 lbs.
Honestly, trying to keep weight on is just as frustrating. People who say, “Wow, you look like you are going to blow away” don’t realixe how hard the flip side can also be.
For the record and on the positive side, I’m sure what you gained was muscle weight.
ugh…that one hit home.
I agree about not looking at the scale. Now, I still do it obsessively, but I try to remember, it’s not how much I weigh, rather it’s “Do my pants fit the same?” I’ve been within the same 5 pound range for the last 25 years, and it has looked like MANY different forms. The best shape I was ever in…best muscle tone, smallest waist…I weighed the most. Get off the scale!
Get rid of the scale and add more cycling! Don’t focus on your weight, focus on feeling strong. My thighs may be a bit bigger, but I know they can get me through an epic 7-8 hour mountain bike race, or a 24 hour adventure race. Nobody likes those skinny bitches anyway.
I have this same gift. I am happy to discover that I am in good company. Cheers to us!
have you pooped yet?
i think you’re wearing woolly undies and are weighing yourself in soggy undies.
