True...once your body fat goes down, it is MOST ADVANTAGEOUS to have the bike match you. A leaner rider is a much better engine, with endurance to boot.

Live with the heavy bike for now and and get stronger. I lost 65lbs and rewarded myself with a 19-pound race MTB...after living for two years with a 33-pound anvil.

Once you FEEL FAST...you will inevitably BECOME FAST.
