My bad.

The doubt about me as a rider was my climbing ability. I could always sprint, but the mountains were my downfall. Eddy Merckx had been telling me to slim down for years, and now I understood why. A five-pound drop was a large weight loss for the mountains - and I had lost 15 pounds. It was all I needed. I became very good in the mountains.

Taken from "It's Not About the Bike", by Lance himself. That would put him at 150 pounds, post cancer.

I'm 5'11" and couldn't imagine losing 15 pounds. I would probably look like a stick figure
