It's going to vary from person to person. To lose weight I have to be a little hungry all the time or putting in A LOT of miles.

I second that Veronica! If I cut out the junk, I find that helps me too. So I try really hard to stay away from the white breads.

You are eating about 1553 calories. I do not know how much you your burn off riding, since everyone is different.
For me, I find if I balance my meals evenly and exercise I am fine. If you feel healthy and strong and there are no other concerns I would say give it a few weeks.Jennifer

I lost about 15 pounds when I had braces.
How?
I chewed really slowly. So slowly that I would fill up and get bored with eating, so my meal portion sizes were much smaller.
And I almost never snacked between meals. It was too much of a hassle to clean my braces afterwards.
Alas, much of that weight has come back since I had my braces off...
