First step in any serious weight loss attempt is to control your intake. If you're overeating bad, it's near impossible to lose weight through exercise only.

If your eating is about right, then generally accepted guidelines say that you need to create a deficiency of 3.500 calories to loes one pound.

Riding at mid/high intensity is generally assumed to use up 450-650 cal/hour.

If we pick a comfortable number mid-range - 500-cal/hour, you then need to ride 7 hours to lose one pound.

What this means in miles is almost anybody's guess.

But let's assume a 14 mph average. Which suggests that - if your eating is spot on - riding 100 miles would lose you one pound.

If a 300 pound man rides his bike from Vancouver to Newfoundland how much weight would he have lost with a rate of 30 miles a day?

First off, it's very highly likely that said 300 pound man is obese. He can't bike 30 miles in a day unless it's downhill all the way, and that won't lose him any weight at all. Second of all, after how much time? How much weight does he lose a day, assuming he can ride a bike 30 miles a day? About 35 calories per mile, so about 1050 calories burned a day. 3000 calories make up a pound of fat. Assuming he just drinks water for 7 days, he'd lose 2.3 pounds a week.

You are not counting your calories properly and/or not walking an average of 3 miles daily and/or are making this up..you didn't mention how long you've been at it..1 pound of your fat contains about 3500 carbs so to lose a pound of that fat you'll need to keep at it for quite a while
