Same for me.. I'm 6'6" but after getting married and kids, working all the time, I went up to 260. A lot for my frame, where as 215 was too low. I was at the gym, doing weights, machines, 180 crunches of various types, riding a lot and nothing until I started cutting out a lot of sugar and carbs (10 #'s in one week after switching from sugared soft-drinks!), until I got to around 230 +/-. Perfect for me (think power forward rather than tight-end), and know what happened, and it seemed like over night? A six-pack appeared! Riding suffered until I picked-up on Paleo Diet for Athletes. I learned to use carbs/sugar as fuel-still haven't perfected that yet, but the work continues. Mostly it was about 1-2 lbs a week, which I'm told is a "healthy" way to do it. When I raced in my teens, I was this tall and weighed about 175, but had the same legs as now only I was emaciated looking from the waist up, but that was equally unhealthy-I couldn't do any physical work whatsoever. I seem to have found a decent middle ground. Now if I wasn't so old and so ugly.....
