Cutting out sugar and carbs really helped me a couple years ago. I went from 280 to 230 just by doing that. I still want to get down to about 225-220 or so, or even down to 200 if I can, but it's been hard to get much lower. And then last fall when the temperature dropped I stopped riding for a while, then the holidays with all their special sweet treats came around, and I put on 10 lbs which I am fighting to get back off. Mainly focusing on doing high fat/low carb, and it's working again.
