Sounds like you already know hot to eat / train but you just need to get back into it? :)
It's very easy to overcalorie some foods being really good 90% of the time and just a few beers/one naughty dinner, lunch, breakfast a week may do it?
The bmj calculation are shit I'm about 25% fat which is normal for a female but at 24 bmi already. A big belly is never good though :)

I need to lose some weight. Not for any training purpose/performance target, just that I've noticed my waist has expanded a bit.
My scales have had a dead battery for a while, replaced it tonight and pretty shocked to see that I'm almost 220lb. I was sure I was pretty close to 200lb last time I weighed myself.
I'm laying the blame on eating poorly and exercising less than I should be/would like to be due to planning a wedding topped off with devouring a shit ton of chocolate/beer/schnitzel etc while on honeymoon.
Is losing 20lb by just trying to be a bit more sensible about my eating and getting out on the bike a bit more unrealistic? I'm gonna try and lay right off the beers, I definitely was hitting them hard earlier in the year during the nicer weather.
FYI I'm 33, 6'3 and reasonably active, cycle to work (10mile round trip) most days, regularly do 1-2 hour rides on days off (though as mentioned above, that's suffered recently). I've usually been towards to top end of the 'healthy' or just slightly into 'overweight' on bmi calculators, have just put my details into the NHS one and I'm now well into the 'overweight' section.
