Getting skinny used to be a lot easier - all I had to do was ride. But now at 53, I'm 5'11 and hover around 170 lbs. I live in a hilly area so climbing ability is essential. My goal is to drop 10-15 lbs, but that's not been entirely successful. The 'MyFitnessPal' app works OK, but logging everything does gets in the way of carrying on with life.
