yeah, it's tough. I've been training BJJ for about 8 months, and am light as well (157).
I can stalemate (or avoid submission, I should say) most anybody in class (except the 255 lb purplebelt), but my submissions are few and far in between. With people close to my weight I can take down and stay on top/ side control and keep them on the defense, but I am not tapping anyone consistently.
Every now and then I'll learn a new trick and submit people a few times, but then no-one is surprised any longer, and they don't fall for it anymore.
I always end up helping the new guys, so I never get the satisfaction of thoroughly dominating anyone. Oh well. I keep in prety good shape though, so I guess it's worthwhile just for that...
