I lost about 40 pounds 10 years ago from simply eating less. Exercise had nothing to do with it and neither did the types of food I ate. Now that I'm obsessed with cycling, this isn't working too well.

I'd love to lose up to 10 pounds, at least 5, which would not only be nice to look better, but to climb better. But I sort of feel stuck.

How can I do both? I'm sure it must have to do with focusing on energy fueling foods. Being more careful "what" I eat. Any advice is appreciated.

Is that you in your avatar? You look good. You don't need to lose any weight.

Eat to ride, don't worry about the scale. It's a big fat liar.
