Luvgr8mnds,
I can relate. I lost weight initally on WW and started cycling. Have been working on last 10 -15 pounds for 3 years now! I bike, run, duathalon, personal trainer once a week...you name it. I had hoped w/ an active lifestyle I would not have to worry some much about my diet. Obviously that is not true. I see folks that are inactive make just a "few" changes in diet and "poof" they drop weight. I stay active and have bad weeks of eating/drinking and darn it I gain. I can gain weight training for a 1/2 marathon. I dont' get it. So now I am am TRYING to really pay attention to diet and be more consistent. Avoiding emotional eating and that socialized eathing/drinking thing. I do scream "its not fair". Being "small" (SHORT!) I struggle w/ my weight d/t size. And with working out I am alwasy trying to balance eathign enough and not too much. I worry about the "holding" on to weight (fat) d/t not consuming enough. But probably that is not the issue. And it is really hard to find a nutritionist that understands endurance atheletes.
Long story short...I can relate. I agree w/ the frustration. But now I am trying to journal my food. I agree w/ the small frequent meals. The other thing I am doing and I have heard is more "interval" work. Mix it up, don't just ride at steady state. And don't always ride hard.
Good luck...hang in there. I think most of us are in the same boat!

Hey, han-grrl..I'm like you...I just work at maintaining. That also requires effort and some attention. I just weighed myself now, just above 97 lbs. But in winter I was 5 lbs. heavier and that was not just water retention.

What's probably keeping my appetite at bay ...is all the wonderful fresh local fruit right now.

I'm late, too. Maybe I was hoping another day or two would change something! 167 yet again.
