I lost 70 lbs and I don’t feel any better

People said I would have more energy, sleep better, feel happier, bike better, and have more concentration. None of that happened. I am close to ideal weight now but feel the same as I did 3 years ago when I was obese. I know I’m healthier. No more sleep apnea or pre-diabetes. But do I feel it? No. I am just as tired and just as dazed. The only possible exception is that it’s easier to ride my bike uphill. Maybe it’s because it happened slowly. Maybe it’s because those effects are overrated.

"Overtraining syndrome includes symptoms such as extreme fatigue, loss of motivation, mood changes, loss of appetite, sleep disturbance and insomnia, irregular heart rate, lower immunity, joint soreness, and more.18 Allowing enough time to recover before you do intense cycling or spinning workouts is ideal.

Listen to your body and consult a personal trainer or cycling coach if you need specific guidelines for your fitness level. And, if you want to cycle every day, try performing lower-intensity sessions for a few days of the week."
