I second counting calories. Without doing that, you have no idea how much you're actually eating. It really opens your eyes. I personally use a program from calorieking.com and have lost 35 pounds since September.

Also be careful of not falling into the trap of thinking, "I rode 12 miles; I can eat whatever I want." If losing weight were *only* about exercise, then I'd be 120 pounds by now.

Don't also fall into the trap of skipping meals because you want to lose weight. This will only make you hungrier and prone to binges later.

Let us know how you're doing! I know if you watch what you eat, watch your portion size and make healthier food selections you can achieve your goal.
