I have had the worst luck losing weight. I did the South Beach diet and was successful, but I can't not eat carbs. I was hungry all the time and grouchy. And the minute I came off the diet, all the weight came back and it brought it's nasty little friends I don't know what to do. I eat whole wheat bread/pasta/etc. and have been cutting down on my red meat in take (well, my meat intake in general) and have been TRYING desperately to exercise regularly (I work for a law firm, so my hours are often long and late), but with no luck. HELP. I'm the heaviest I've ever been in my life and I'm going to ride the MS150 in April and can't bring myself to be seen in bike shorts in front of 12,999 other people. I'd like to blame the birth control and the anti-depressants I'm on, however, I've never been a really small person. (Even when I was thinner, I've always be very curvy.) Does anyone have advice? I'd like to find some bike shorts that fit!!!

Congratulations on yourweight loss.
I was one that battled with weight all my life, until I started biking. Then the weight just melted off. Now, I find I have to work to keep it on!
I find that if I eat a protein with carbohydrate for each meal it balances out the blood sugar. But, you need to know that often hunger pangs are mistaken for lack of water. Sometimes when my stomach growls...I am just thirsty, Have you been keeping up on your water intake? Just a thought.
I snack on fruit and low fat dairy. Plus sometimes lowfat popcorn, not the healthiest, but fun.
Good luck on your quest. You can do it, just keep riding.
