A deliberate week off the weight loss for me, and also a quiet week in terms of cycling.  I've been overdoing both and need a respite before the Easter Arrow.

I've hit my 2nd target weight, and I don't want to loose much more now.  Maybe a kg or 2 max, slowly over the summer.

Pretty impressive show - to lose 15Kg in fairly short order. Good Work  :).

Heh

It's just been pointed out to me that 31 March was missing off the weight reports template

There's a place for it though, so you'll just have to put the date in as well as the weight this week, below the 24 March numbers.

Sorry about that  :-[

Start of year - 103kg, mid-20s %bodyfat; yesterday 93kg, 15%.  Happy am I.  Methodology: enter an online shape-up challenge, develop a gym habit, break the bulk (heh) with a ridiculous shakes-and-supps diet then learn to count and record every damn calorie (plus the revelation that "sedentary"+HRM burn = truth, not "active"+burn).
It takes blood and guts to be this cool but I'm still just a cliché.

Stress, poor diet and lack of exercise seem to be the way forward - that's my lowest weight all year.  :-\

Until the stress drops, then u grow again  :-X

Nice work :)

It's a big psychological boost, isn't it ?

I do remain a bit sceptical of BMI as applied to cyclists though; when I was at about 25 I didn't feel (or I think look) "overweight"

I completely agree! I have a BMI of around 28 so I'm overweight, sure I could lose a few pounds but according to BMI I should to be under 11st 5lbs to be at the top end of 'Normal'. I've never been anywhere near that weight in my adult life, and I can only go under 12 1/2 stone by developing an eating disorder (which I did once). So I’ve learnt to ignore BMI and my weight and just monitor my trouser size, resting heart rate and sport performances.  I’m doing alright at the moment, despite having a BMI of 28.

Excellent work, I haven't been BMI < 25 for about 10 years too. I almost almost almost got to that point at some point last year, but I'm back up to ~27 with my lack of cycling this year.

Plan is be 'Normal' again this summer.

Good work Chris :)

My bmi is probably under 21 now. I'll try to keep it over 20.

Mine's just about 23.  I don't really want it to get below 22.  Different build, I guess.

Thanks for the encouragement folks  :D.

Next goal is 80Kg, which I think I will then try and maintain. The "ideal" graph for my height suggests I should be about 76Kg, but I have cyclist's legs, so I reckon 80Kg is fine.

Of course - I could still go for composition change. My BF% is around 19% - which sounds too much to me, but I don't really know what's ideal for a middle aged chap.

Which cyclist ? Sir Chris Hoy or Michael Rasmussen ?

For a BMI of 25 I just need to put on 5" (stop sniggering at the back).

I'd like to get mine measured - properly. Dunno where to go, though...
