Your body mass progress is looking good. Congrads! Once you both get setup with your target tandem configuration, riding more and more should take care of leaning out the rest. If you are serious about keeping up with the fast group, then lean down by limiting the bread, pasta, etc and increase protein (egg white omelettes for breakfast instead of cereal or toast is a good start for the day). At our age (50+) we do not process carbs well - they tend to stick around regardless of BMI, daily calorie burn, etc. Processed grains seem to be the worst. I've taken to only "rewarding" myself with a Mex meal & Taco chips if I ride > 50 miles, and even then my weight can go up 2lbs for a couple days.

Interesting, we have gone COMPLETELY WHEAT FREE and have both lost weight, feel better and have more energy. I stumbled across the book "Wheat Belly" and after reading it, I look at wheat as modern poison. I really believe that modern wheat is what is making the American people so fat and diabetic.
We received a link to the "chronic poison" article not long ago.

Alex, have you measured the Visa rear dropout spacing yet? Just curious.

By the way, our household is wheat-(and many other grains) free since my wife has Celiac's disease. Apparently, this immune reaction to gluten is about as common as colorblindness, and yet I had not heard of it until a decade ago.
