Fulcrum 7s aren't bad wheels and if you do the math cutting your wheel weight to absolutely zero isn't going to get you up hills more than a handful of seconds faster.
Well, I've done a lot of work on me too. :-) Almost 50 pounds total since I started two years ago with diet. 10 inches off my waist. I've dropped a half dozen sizes, halved my body fat, and thanks to cycling and circuit training I've never been this fit. I'm 5-9 and right about 154 with my goal of getting down to 135-140. I'm a girl. I'm going to be 50 in February, I'm planning my first century in the spring and my marriage just broke up. Tons of motivation that I'm using for good. Best part about the breakup is I can buy cycling stuff and not have to explain my purchases to anyone. :-)
