Good luck with the riding!
As to the diet, have you tried using myfitnesspal? I spent a long time exercising quite a bit and kind of watching what I was eating but not really tracking anything. And I did lose some weight, but then totally plateaued and couldn't lose any more. For me, myfitnesspal was something of a revelation because it gave me enough knowledge to make good food decisions without starving myself and still allowing me to eat foods that I loved (certainly in smaller quantities, but still).
I'd say that any diet that denies me things I love won't be sustainable for me for the long term: that means Atkins is out!
