I think the hardest bit is making yourself eat smaller portions after exercising. I used to find it so easy to cycling home (20 miles) after work and eat twice as much but got there in the end. Keep to this routine and you'll lost weight easily.

I think all the advice is good - eat less exercise more etc.
That said for me it was portion size that was the sticking point like spenceey. The more I rode,exercised the more I ate to 'compennsate. Trouble was the calorific intake was sufficently high to ensure no weight was lost.
One thing that did help me was an article (maybe an advertorial) in Cycling Weekly. it looked at eating protein at breakfast in order to 'regulate' appetite. I got some Bikefood Raw Hemp Protein Powder and drank it after my morning ride. The 'results' were quite a surprise. lunch no different but all of a sudden my evening meal seemed like a bit of a struggle. I ended up eating about a 1/3 less, which probably equates to a 'normal person' meal less. I've lost weight 'without any effort' - I'm still cycling and doing circuits but eating less.
