I plan on riding while it's quiet, not so busy times. With this extra weight I feel an in balance rather than being nimble but hopefully the weight goes quickly.
Am I right in believing sweating it out is the best form of dropping weight?

Build up the time and distance. For me it was all about endurance build that up the longer you can ride keeping your heart rate up the more calories you burn. I was losing 5lb a week plus at say 17 stone (estimate) eating 1500 to 1800 calories and cycling 2 hours a day. I know the time you have will differ to what time I had but the principle stands far and slow will burn more than short and fast

My tummy feels as though it's stretched. That's my main problem. I can consume 2 plates of the same dinner.

High veg content does still fill you up though and your stomach will shrink . You have to bare the rough start though it does get better quite quick in my experience. Cutting carbs and switching to protein and animal fats satiates the appetite too . You want to cut out all oil except olive if you can its garbage
