I was 103kg exactly 12 months ago. Now sitting just above 85kg, hoping to be 77/78kg by June. Any "diet" you choose needs to be a proper lifestyle change, and one that is sustainable. Great thing about cycling is do enough and you'll burn through anything. I eat more chocolate and bars these days then ever before thanks to cycling

Nice to see I had some sense. First weight-in of June last Saturday had me at 78.29kg. On target for the Marmotte

Why the hell not - another target to set myself in a public forum, thereby incentivising myself to achieve!

Weight early 2007 - about 125kg
Weight late 2008 - about 95kg
Weight now - 95kg
Target weight for WW200 2010 - 92kg
Height 187cm

Thought I'd resurrect this thread to check how everyone is getting on with their weight loss targets.

I'm now aiming for 88kg by the end of 2010, and am within 1kg of that. Hopefully I'll get there before we see the New Year in, and I'm now looking to be down to 86kg for the start of the 2011 racing season.

Pizza, beer and lack of excercise mean I'm way off my target, I'm 66kg 4-6kg above target.

was 12.5stone in june '08 a few months after I started cycling to recover from acl surgery. hit the gym heavy that winter to bump up to 13.75stone for gaa season only to have all the hard work ruined by a torn hamstring in april and hip flexor in august. was just over 14stone in october. knocked that down to 13.5st by mid-december while still hitting gym heavy enough. 13 stone by april. 80kg would be ideal for a summer more focused on tri/cycling this year.

note - sandwiches on stephens day comprising turkey, stuffing, ham and spiced beef are not ideal for these goals. height = 6ft + a smidgen. Body fat was a very surprising and embarrassing 30% in october. results had to be be double checked but were unfortunately valid.:mad: I reckon I have it down to high teens at the moment. would be happy with 12% as my "little" brother is around 9% at same height and around 81kg. intercounty footballer so that level of athletic prowess might elude me.

i'm going to blame injury yet again for not hitting target. I'm at 13.25 stone. very little cycling this year due to 2 operations on my hips to correct 'femoral acetabular impingement' which basically meant that my thigh bones were catching against the hip socket.

body fat is well down but so is muscle mass in legs due to a total of 12 weeks on crutches this year. goals are therefore carried forward for 2011.

Hovering around 76kg , 75kg works fine for me so i could do that in two weeks of cutting the crap intake down

After 3 years of consistent weight gain (+10kg), I have decided to make a change when I realised how much I had let it slip.

January 2010: 88.7kg
June 2010: 86.4kg
October: 84.6kg

At this point my main aim is to be back at my original weight (under 70kg) by August. I aim to be at 80kg by March and see how that goes. My training is starting with no more Irish-Chinese meals (proper Chinese food is fine but no more fast food rubbish), cut down to 2 bags of C+O Tayto per week, no more biscuits from the 1st of December unless training or hypoglycaemic and finally, the turbo is coming out of the closet, so I can get some exercise in as I play XBox.

It's ON

cython

Hmm, I didn't set a target in here earlier this year, but I suppose I started the year at 104kg or a little over, and since January, when I started cycling, I have gotten that down to about 89, and hoping to keep that going. Seeing as I'm still that weight after 8 weeks of inactivity due to a broken wrist, and not having a turbo available, here's hoping I can keep it dropping and match Beasty, seeing as he's in the same area (albeit a lot fitter, I'm sure!) by the sounds of it

thebouldwhacker

I'm 6'3" and I have dropped from 100kg+ to 85kg since last jan so happy with that, I will prob drop another 2/3kg when the spring hits but prob not too much more.
Would people mind putting their height with their posts cos I think the posts make a bit more sense...

Makes sense. I'm 6'3", so sounds like I started in a similar position to yourself, but you've put me to shame - damn you! :P

Instead of starving yourself why don't you just stay cycling or do someother form of excercise?
I'm 5'10 and 65 kgs so I'm happy with my weight. I remember going down to 60kgs and my form was terrible, had no power at all.

Suffered the same this year, oodles of stamina but found hills hard and going to the front a real chore.

I just can't motivate myself to cycle in the winter any more. When the temp drops below 6 or 7 degrees going out on the bike gives me a really sore throat and a cough that lasts 4 months or so. Bummer really.

At 5'10 and 60kgs I'm sure you'd have made a lovely goal post though

Big and strong people. Big and strong. Stop losing weight.

ROK ON

Hushovd and Boonen are circa 80kg.
Gilbert is circa 78kg.

You can be a successful cyclist and be a reasonable weight.
I had a target of 80kg and moved from 110kg to 88/89kg.

After that it became just too damn uninteresting to lose further weight straigt away. There were simply way too many things that I enjoyed that I was prohibited from enjoying if I wanted to lose more. At that stage there was I was simply maxed out on training time. So I made the decision to keep cycling, eat the foods I enjoyed and settled on maintaining my weight. Been there for about 9 months now. I am going to try and get towards 80kg, but I would prefer to be trimmer/stronger at 88kg than flabby at 80kg.

If I get to 80, well and good. I guess the real test will come when I hope to do a few races next year. However while being lighter would more than likely help, I reckon being stronger, fitter and faster at my present weight would be preferrable than simply lighter. We'll see I guess.

After one or two races, I may have to change my preceptions somewhat. But c'est la vie.

Boonen is 6 foot 4... and I would presume has a bf % under 10.
Comparing somebody that is 5foot 10, 80kg and 20% is nonsense.

Anyway, if I could get down below 70 I'd be happy.. fat c*nt thes days.

Not in a sense comparing, more just saying like!!!
As I said in my my post, enjoying the things that I eat has gotten in the way of weight loss. This is an admission if you like that the loss of further weight at this point is simply not that much of an issue for me. It would involve choices that I would neith relish making or am presently prepared to make.
I cant train any more than I do, so to lose weight I would simply have to diet. However this would involve cutting down or out some of the foods that I particulalry enjoy. Lifes short. People should do more of what they enjoy - I guess I enjoy food more than being trimmer.

ROK ON: buy a pet monkey. Whenever you eat, give him half. You can therefore order enjoy the same delicious food choices while continuing to lose weight. As the monkey will tell you, if the problem is hunger just MTFU.

The problem is less hunger and just more general savagery.

I generally no longer drink, but a person has to have some treats. Its just mine are Black Pudding, Tapas, Cheese (particularly anything Blue), chocolate, hot dogs with jalapenos (my latest food fetish). I have made my lifestyle choice.

Raam

Take up smoking. It sounds healthier than that lot.

We still haven't got ROK ON to cook for us, what happened to that last year? I get hungry whenever I read your posts about delicious foods. Maybe we could do a boards version of come dine with me? The culinary skills of ROK ON against the Heston Bllumenthal style cooking of Lumen.

I can do a mean omelette.

Some day, maybe before xmas.
Thing is I love what I cook, that doesnt mean everyone would like it. Its actually hard to say what makes a good cook. For example, I eat out a lot - but I almost never agree with the 'received wisdom' of most Irish food critics. I think some of them in particular wouldnt know and understand food, if it were to hit them on the face.
Dont knock omlettes. Nothing likea well made omlette. A dish that one can have for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Anyway OT, sorry.

Dr. No

A ham and tomato omelette with beans, mmmm perfect for a post ride refuel. It can get a bit windy afterwards though:eek:
