    Unhappy

    I have been biking about 10-15 miles per trip for about 3 years but not seriously and I have been working out in the Gym with spin claim for about 6 years 4-5 times per week so exercise is not new.
    Calories in and calories used still apply right? I am just so frustrated. My doctor recommended a organized diet plan to go with the exercise.
    I am solid but overweight so I am not overusing my heart or anything...All tested all good..

    Yes, it still all boils down to calories in / calories out. I recommend the LEARN program as a lifestyle plan, not a diet. LEARN stands for Lifestyle, Exercise, Attitude, Relationships, and Nutrition. Last year I participated in a twelve-week program in which we used the LEARN manual, one chapter per week, and met as a group once a week with a fitness and nutrition expert as our leader. The program is all about gradual lifestyle change, not quick fixes, and it does a great job of incorporating the psychological aspect. It would be ideal to participate in the program as a class, but I think you could benefit from using the manual by yourself or with a partner if you can't find a class.

    Good luck, and keep up the exercise.
