Trigirl - try having an egg of somesort for your breakfast to keep you fuller longer. I always feel less hungary on the mornings that I have a homemade egg muffin sandwich. (1 egg in micro, slice of cheese and sour dough toasted english muffin)

I drink my water all during the day, not just right before I ride. I find this helps me feel not so waterlogged when I am riding. I also snack a bunch on raw veggies and friuts with pieces of cheese instead of crackers and PB. I haven't lost any weight yet but I have just started today to write everything down that I eat. I am 5'2 and 160 lbs. I have to start losing some weight at some point in time. I think that I am just mentally blocking out all of those extras that I eat and think a few won't hurt!

So writing things down might be the ticket. I also looked at different websites and found that I have to lower my calorie intake to about 1330 a day. I sit at a desk for most of the day and exersise sometime in the early moring or late at night.
