    cylegoddess - while what you say is absolutely true - it is a bit misplaced. The original poster clearly stated that she is working with a trainer on weight program and that he continues to challenge her. While it's common for some cyclists to blow off the importance of weights, no one here in this thread is talking about pure cardio or endurance training at all.

    Thanks, GLC.

    And, thanks for all the suggestions here. I lost a couple finally this week. I took several of your suggestions. I recommitted to measuring food and I changed up some types of foods. I also switched around a couple foods in terms of when during the day I eat them.

    Feeling better...nice to see the scale change a little. And, today I started a 4-day split schedule of weight training that is going to leave Saturdays free to start building up my cardio volume toward those long rides a little later on.

    Thanks for all the encouragement & support.
