Long time calorie counter and Slimming World newb

Options
Hi all, I'm a long time cyclist, choc-o-holic and calorie counter, lots of failed attempts loosing a couple of stone this past year so shaking things up and trying SW, my other half does the group thing (that sounds sooo wrong) and she tends to do SW meals so I thought I'd try and follow the plan proper, before I tended to stick within a 2200 cal limit before but having had steady weight gain over the past 18 months I figure it's down to munching & snacking on all the wrong foods, counting the syns may well get me some results, my biggest issue with this plan is fueling the cycling especially 50 to 100 mile rides (3 to 6 hours), looking for like minded people so feel free to friend me if your going for the two way attack of Slimming World and Calorie Counting, I could do with a couple as I've got zero on here haha.
