Obviously your diet is working well, if you have already lost 10 pounds. You could probably get away with eating a little more if you were actually riding your bike.

So keep up the good work but add a few hours a week riding your bike! (What advice did you expect from the BikeForums?) Best of luck and continued success.

Added: Check BMI indexes online. I don't know for sure, but 210 pounds sounds a little too high for your height. BMI is pretty accurate for everybody except extremely muscular men, like professional body builders and football players.
