you're too vague...it all depends on your caloric intake. I bike 80-100 miles per week AND I lift 4 days/week.

Nice work dropping 15 lbs. It won't really matter for your weight loss what you do biking between those choices, I'd just say keep it light most days if you are going 5 days per week so you don't get injured.

I see that you are mainly just biking to the gym--treat it as a warmup/cooldown and lactic acid flush, but not part of your workout--just go easy. Pay more attention to what you are doing at the gym than on the way to and from

As for dropping the rest of the weight you want, your diet is what to focus on at this point. Have you calculated your daily calorie requirements?

well accoridng to livestrong, i need to eat 1600 a day to drop a pound a week, and im eating about 1700-2000 a day, but because of the biking and gym, i think im burning 400 a day anyway, so im coming in under and losing about a pound a week on the weeks i dont slip up

btw this is my routine

day 1 - Flat & Decline Bench/OHP/Dips/Shrugs/Crunches

day 2 - Bent Over Rows/Deadlift/T Bar/Hammers/Easy Curl/Chins

day 3 - Rest

day 4 - Squat/Hack Squat/Leg Extentions/Calf Raises

day 5 - Flat and Incline Dumbell Bench/Raises/Skull Crushers/Crunches

day 6 - Front Squat/OHP/Pull Ups/Shrugs/Hammers/Rack Fluff for Back

day 7 - Rest
