At the end of last year I decided enough was enough and I HAD to lose weight. Since then I have lost about 3 and a half stone. I try to do 10 miles a day on an exercise bike, which takes me anywhere between 33 and 35 minutes. My bike tells me that this is roughly burning 400 calories, but I know that actual calories burned depends on many factors. Does anyone know what these are? And the amount of difference they will make?

It depends on your sex, your weight and your level of fitness.

A hugely overweight unfit person would burn a lot more calories than a healthy fit person used to the exercise.

For optimum exercise buy yourself a heart rate monitor - they can be bought quite cheaply now - and work within your fat burning zone:
