Amanda, the most important thing you're doing right is that you're dedicated to your health by moderating your nutrition and exercising. Congratulations! I know how frustrating all of this can seem in the beginning, so just remember that cycling is fun and you'll learn more and more everyday.

Nutrition is one of those topics that I would recommend you speak with a professional about. Ideally this is someone who focuses on sports nutrition who will be able to guide your weight-loss utilizing both nutrition and exercise.

While there are many intelligent women on this board, as you'll notice, you've already received a bunch of completely different opinions. As with all boards of this nature, you'll receive some really good, informed opinions and advice, and you'll also receive some not-so-good opinions and advice, and you can't always tell who is who by how loudly they speak. I'm sure it's enough to make your head spin at this point. Until you've educated yourself enough to sort through the various opinions, I'd recommend working with a nutritionist or registered dietician.

Good luck to you, Amanda, and we look forward to getting to know you better!
