Similar situation here. I rode all winter, and usually when I start riding in the spring, the weight slips off me. Not so far this year. I seem to have plateaued at a weight about 5 lbs higher than I am in summer. I normally gain about 10 winter lbs, and only gained the 5 this year, but they seem to like it here, and don't want to leave.

Now, it occurs to me that it's not so much the riding as the eating. My BF works more in the summer, so I eat less. No big dinners, just whatever is easy and in the kitchen. I hate to cook, so that helps. It's not that tempting if I made it. Not that I'm a bad cook, just the hatred of chopping stuff keeps me from making anything too good for myself.

Maybe I should market that as a diet plan! "The Lazy Girl's Guide to Gettin' Skinny" would be the perfect title. Dinner entrees would include peaches and cottage cheese, salad bar from the grocery store, and my old favorite....toast. Hard to not lose weight on that!

Good luck with your effort, Stacie. By summer, if you don't see a difference, I'll send you some more menu options (PB+J, can of soup, frozen lasagnia, oh, the list goes on...).
