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.

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.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
