When I started cycling again I wore size 20 LL relaxed fit jeans with the elastic waist band. The elastic waist band was because really I fit in a 22. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I'm 5'nuthin.

To make a long story short after several seasons training for ALC, a return to bike commuting, getting back in the dojo right now I think I wear 14's but they are falling off.

The debate is whether to buy a bunch of 12's or sit tight knowing that probably those could fit better soon.

I weigh about the same as I did at 20/22. My body Seems to get more compact, the weight stays about the same.

I could stand to drop 35-40 lbs. I will achieve that goal. I'd love to drop the weight if only because it would take the weight off my poor decrepit deteriorating knees. But I rarely look at the scale, instead I concentrate on how my clothes fit and how I feel and perform on the bike or in a workout.

My greatest loss of inches was on a great training routine written by Spazzdog that included interval and wind sprint training with longer workouts either in the dojo or on a long ride. Weight training would really help. As for food I try to eat food that's made from food day to day.

On a long ride or organized event I eat anything they put in front of me
