Funny that you're saying that. My racing weight was around 160lbs. At 6'3", that was a bit skinny, especially since most of the weight was in my quads and calves (match sprinter, here).

Of course, now that I'm 240 lbs, my wife says if I lose 40 lbs, that will be TOO much. I've tried to persuade her by mentioning the *ahem* improved endurance, but she hasn't yet been swayed. I think she's afraid that I'm trying to get back to my earlier form, even though at 37, it's pretty darn unlikely.

Any suggestions?
