Great work, Jiffer. Being motivated and feeling good is just as awesome as the numbers on the scale.

Awesome! I think that sometimes the whole weightloss machine tries to scare us away from carbs...like it is the great evil. Success like yours show that the only real way to loose weight is to eat a balanced diet complete with proper amounts of fat, protein and yes, carbs.

Way to go Jiffer! You'll get the rest of it off with your method.
I've lost 38 pounds on WW since Jan 2009- 25 due to WW + cycling since the summer. (Before that I did very little exercise). I almost never use the activity points, and rarely even use all the "weekly" points. Now that I'm doing longer rides, that is changing a little though- I eat more after the big rides- so I'm not feeling ravenous later or the next day.

Sharon,
How are you liking the Nancy Clark books? I finished the sports nutrition guide and read most of the cyclist food guide. I have been eating like she suggests all week and i can really feel the difference. My two rides this week seemed so much easier. I just got finished planning out my food for tomorrow. this will be the big test for my new eating plan since it is our 40 mile ride.

I do like the books a lot. I'm still working my way through them. Both my DH and I have been reading them and he really likes her concept of "front-loading".
Most of her suggestions just make sense to me.

Okay, so what's the Nancy Clark books all about? Obviously eating to fuel for cycling? What are the names of the books?

One is 'Sports Nutrition Guidebook' this one is more of a general overview of how an athlete should eat for maximum performance, it also has a guide on how to loose weight while still maintaining performance. The other is 'cyclist's food guide' This one is much more specific to cycling and has suggestions on pre, during and post ride food. the two books are a great compliment to one another.
here is the link to her website:
