You might want to take a look at http://www.weightlossresources.co.ukBasically it has a database where you tell it how much you want to lose each week and it tells you how many calories you can eat to make that weight loss. You then type in what you eat each day and it converts it to calories. Totally non-judgemental – you decide what you eat and how much. The really great bit is that you can also add your exercise and it translates that it to calories so that you can eat more and still lose weight.I’ve lost 1.5 stone using the site and become a much fitter cyclist because when ever i want to eat i get on my bike. I did it mainly by exercising more rather than losing weight.Good luck how ever you do it.

So I have put on a few pounds. Is it genetic?

Ah, Lori! Definitely the eye of an artist! Magnificent jersey, that!Try oat bread instead of wheat.. tastes better and great for the heart.A bowl of oatmeal has something like 7 grams of protein,. lots of fiber, and no fat. I love oatmeal, but not with sugar and milk. I use Brummel & Brown and a bit of salt and I like my oatmeal thinnish and kind of soupy.I also am a grapefruit lover and we grow the nicest, sweetest grapefruit I’ve ver had right here in our yards. I wish I could ship it out of state but you know how the ag people are. Pink grapefruit and regular, but I love the pink the most. My doc told me to stop eating grapefruit because it had bad interactions with some medicines and I told him I will forego those medicines because I could not survive without grapefruit.Eat a bit of protein with your apple (Utah colby is great with Golden Declicious apples) and your sugar won’t get weird from the apple. Nuts are also good protein and contain good fats, so they are good with apple and so is peanut butter. I am actually keeping a chart of what I actually eat, both calories and fat grams, and I found that I wasn’t eating enough… only around 800 calories a day and nowhere near enough fats. Our bodies need about 60 grams of fat a day (mostly good fats, of course) to function right. I don’t go to Weight Watchers but that’s one reason why their program works so well… they understand that the body needs the fats in order to function properly and in order to lose weight.Dairy is a good fat they now tell us.I’m eating small "meals" every two or three hours these days and my blood sugar stays level, so I never feel hungry… and not from being full of food because the best I have been able to do was around 1400 calories one day.I think you are absolutely right about getting the servings of fruits and vegetables. Gotta be sure there are plenty of dark green ones, too.Hugs,MuMo

I have a tendency to graze out of boredom. Like, I need to do something so I immediately go for my food stash. I’ve found that a good fix for this is to chew gum. It gives my mouth something to do, but I’m not eating a ton of unhealthy food.Lola

money cant buy speed, that’s a fact. I’m fat, if I use a 17 kg bike our cumulative weight will be 102 kgs with the bike. If I use a 10 kg bike (which is pretty light for a MTB) our cumulative weight will be 95 kgs. 95/102 = 93/100 see there’s only a 7% difference on my muscles. what you ride is pretty important but it is a lot less significant than your body. a cyclist with nice big quads could goo fast even on a hi-ten piece of crap. I’m not one of those cyclists.

That jersey rocks fatty! I guess its another item to add to your ever increasing wardrobe of cycling clothes. For me, i dont really need to diet, i dont really know how i would lose much weight anyway if i did try. Though i must say, i still can’t climb! Maybe if i spent a couple of grand i dont have and bought myself a litespeed, then like mike, the weight of myself would become insignificant, see what money can buy.

It absolutely irks me that apples do that to me, too. They just aren’t FILLING. They just warm up my jaws to get ready to chew on something not good for me. I keep telling hubby that’s why I’m taking a bite outta his ass, but he doesn’t buy it. The water thing after a ride is good, too, because I want to eat everything not nailed down afterward. Carbs, especially, seem to sing out my name to come and find them. Just how does one get a company to send them things? Dannon is very kind. If they sent you a coffee or mocha flavored sample, could you send it my way? Thus far, it hasn’t worked with Starbucks for me and I mention those people nearly every day on my blog. "Ummmm, Mr. Joe Starbucks? Are you listening?"Kelly
