I am always very active when I travel so I lose weight. I do not like to lay down on a beach etc, I always walk a lot and try to visit everything.

I stay about the same. More likely to lose weight on extended travels as I'm not really that big of a foodie.

well, I usually do my best to try a lot of local food wherever I go. That leads to added weight most of the time.

Lost 18lbs (12%) over 5 weeks riding Trans America Trail; you need to ride harder venues.

I keep gaining. The bakeries in the Balkans are too good!

When I go on longer trips, I often lose weight. Since cooking is not one of my strengths, I typically opt to eat meals out at restaurants during my travels.

The choice is mine, gain, lose, or stay about the same. I try to stay the same but will gain and lose small amounts as the foodscape changes. Food is such a big window into cultures along the way.

Gain a little, lose a little, it's just too easy at my age to lose muscle mass instead of fat.

My major exercise while touring is walking and some mountain towns are great for legs and lungs. I need to work more on upper body but it's not as easy as at home with weights, bench, and other equipment.
