I’m 38 5’11 and I am trying to lose weight. Im currently 74kg ideally Id like to be 70kg. Im running about 20 miles a week, have been for the last couple of months. Ride my bike about around 50 road miles a week.

I am struggling to get to 70kg short of missing meals. I’m becoming a bit obsessed by it.

Why do you think 70kg is your ideal weight Merak?
I’m 6’2 and 72kg

112kg.

46 and a half, and 5’10”; I hover at the 73kg mark. According to a recent fitness test done by the medic at work that’s optimum for me and my build. Body fat, BP and various other stats were bang I the middle of the healthy range. 😀 and smug about that!

I only lose weight when I stop exercising and really cut down on the calories. Exercise means being hungrier so I end up eating more. 🙄

Never forget that muscle is denser than fat, so losing weight isn’t necessarily always a good thing if you’re already relative fit and healthy.

100kg. This is optimum for my height and bodyfat level.

19 stone.

Don’t get hung up on a number- muscle is denser than fat! I tend to work off whether or not my clothes fit me ok rather than my weight. There are no scales in our house but I know when I’ve been overdoing the Co-op luxury chocolate cookies 😆

19.5 stone. A lot to work on 🙂

6’4″, 34 yo, 92kg. If like to be a touch lighter, mid 80’s would be good.

125kg. Hard to kidnap.

Merak – what will dropping to 70Kg achieve?
Is there a reason you want to be under that weight?

68kg (I think..). 5’9″ on a good day. 52yo.

62 years, 1m74 / 5’8″, 81kg, 12st9lb.
Overweight but not obese, not as fit as I’d like.

73.5kg and 6 ft.

I have a lot of weight in my legs, my ribs started sticking out then I hit about 75kg. I can lose weight by just eating foods with really low energy density, I hate being hungry so I stuff myself with veg. Its a balancing act though as too much of a deficit for too long and I cant train as hard.

5’11” and 70kg, pretty close to perfect 🙂

122kgs (19stone 3lbs), just shy of 6ft 9in

I don’t really know why I want 70kg as a target. I suppose I think I’ve got a bit of a paunch and the onset of moobs, not helped by a fondness of a Belgian beer or two of a weekend.

60 years old

5 10 tall

80 kilo

Feels fine to me, lost about 12 kilo about two years ago.

Can get down to 77 kilo, but normal eating and activity bring me. Back up to around 80 kilo.

49 yrs old

92 kg

6ft when I have been to the osteopath 5ft 11 when I haven’t

Damn you Molgrips, damn you to Hell.

67-68kg, 5’8″ and 56 …… reasonable !

Damn you Molgrips, damn you to Hell.

Molgrips?

185cm and 75kg.

5′ 7″ and 65kg on a good day…

49, 6’0″, 82kg

40 years old, 5′ 10″ and about 72kg.
Was a bit lighter when marathon training last year (sub 70kg) and didn’t look well tbf. Been between 70kg-75kg pretty much all my adult life.

27, 6ft and 85.5kg (13 stone 6ish).
Would love to be 12 and a half stone, just like sweets too much.

5’10.5″, 66kg on a good day. Lean. I like lean.

In fairness mogrim, there’s something about your and molly’s usernames that scan the same, I often mix you up. Not too sure why.

5’11” 100kg I’m on the heavy side (of very heavy).

Bigshep isn’t kidding with that username 😉

125kg, 188cm tall, size 50 shoes (some makes 49 will do others I need 51).

100kg is my target weight (already down from 140kg last Christmas).

Most people guess my weight to be around 100-110kg, and while I am carrying a fair chunk of muscle I have no illusions about the amount of fat I also carry. I think that If I got down to 100 kg with my current muscle mass I would be pretty ripped, but expect to lose muscle especially off my legs as I get down to my target weight.

Buying shoes and knee pads is currently a nightmare. Buying pads is a situation that will probably improve, as for shoes I am generally ****.

Well I`m your ideal weight(70kg) … just 3″ inches shorter (5ft 8″) and 6yrs older.
I would hate to be any lighter.

It’s not the first time!

40yo, 193cm (6’4″) and 77kg

So basically we’re all fatbastads and hopefully doing something about it.

To work out your BMI divide your weight in kilos by your height in m2, so mine would be 77/1.93squared, or 77 divided by 3.72, which is 20.7.

Speak for yourself, I’ve got a BMI of <22 8)

180cm 95kg. I don’t look that heavy though.

Anything between 18.5 and 25 is healthy. If your over then measure your waist, as you could have a lot if muscle mass. It’s best not to be over 94cm for a man and 80cm for a lady.

5′ 6″

55kg

50 today!

Not long before my age exceeds my weight, can’t be many on here who can say that 🙂

It’s all in the manreasts
