5'11" right now 160. I usually go between 150-160. Depends on if I'm lifting or not. I'm actually trying to get to 170. I feel the stronger I get, the better I ride. And since I carry no fat, it's all muscle.

5'9" 165lbs.
Start weight last year: 202lbs
Goal: 160lbs.
I think my goal weight may result in me being a tad heavy. However, I need to stop sooner or later. Once I weighed 135lbs at 5'9". I would rather not be under weight.
Once the goal is achieved, I will be switching to muscle toning. Yes, I know cyclists don't need upperbody strength. I don't race and would rather not look like a twig attached to two huge legs.
Just a little muscle definition. Pecs, biceps, triceps,etc
A six pack would be nice. Doubt I can get one.

5'7" 190lbs. Damn, I'm such a fat guy compared to you guys.
I can't seem to really lose any weight anymore but I seem to be leaning down though...anybody know when does the weight start to come off?

5'10" 292--And I've already lost 160 lbs.

5'10.5" ~145 lbs. I just turned 40 years old and I'm getting stronger every year. I seem to have positive results from riding more and riding harder. And eating better.
