Uforgot, you are on the right track. I have always been suspicious of WW; I have had several friends who have done it, but they never *keep* the weight off. It's like the system helps you find the easiest way to eat the most bad stuff you can, and lose at the same time. I know this doesn't apply to everyone, but you have to change your way of eating and thinking about food for for life, as Tulip said.
Nancy Clark has a sports nutrition book that is just for cyclists, in addition to her regular sports nutrition book. It is excellent, but you have to order it from her web site; you can't get it from Amazon, etc. or in a bookstore.
Thirty years ago I was eating dinner at my parents' house when my dad told me I getting to be "a bit piggy." He was right. I totally changed my habits and started exercising. It took me a year, but I lost 25 pounds. The only time I started to gain it back (including after my pregnancies) is when I had slacked off on the exercise as I was starting menopause. I knew I had to change up my routine, and that's when I started cycling. But, my eating habits only had to be modified a little, because I had set the good habits when I was young.
