It's really hard to lose weight and train for performance at the same time. To lose weight, count calories. Underestimate your calorie burn from your training, overestimate your calorie intake. When you are training hard, you need fuel, so make sure to fuel your rides beforehand, rather than "saving" your daily calorie allocation for after the ride. This can lead to being starving after your ride but not having enough calories left in your daily allotment to feel not-starving.

Was it bariatric surgery? If so, you might want to head over to the clyde forum and see if there is useful info there.

You don't say anything about your diet, current activity and current fitness before instituting this plan, or how you came up with that plan, so it's not really possible to evaluate it.

On a separate note, you live in SoCal, why so much trainer time?
