MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
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.
+1 seadog101
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 ****ed.
Well I`m your ideal weight(70kg) ... just 3" inches shorter (5ft 8") and 6yrs older.
I would hate to be any lighter.
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.
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.
So basically we're all fatbastads and hopefully doing something about it.
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
5'9" 45 62kg - put a bit on recently.
710 Newtons.
Weight is a force.
It's best not to be over 94cm for a man
Happy days!!!!!!
Steak for tea!!!!!
40 years young 6`2" and 13stone 9 , and like cake
Going by the above calculation I've got a BMI of just over 29...
To get a BMI under 25 I'd have to go down to 100kg, I've not been under 16 stone for over 20 years, 8 of which were in the Army.
I could do with getting down to 110 in all honesty though 😳
39.. 5ft5" 60kg.. fittest ive ever been
46kg; 47 ... age exceeds weight (ahem! avdave2)
I'm quite good at riding up hills 🙂
52 , 5'10 and 82kg . I've been 90 kg and leaner ( ex gym rat) and 75kg and felt crap . When you like how you fell thsts your ideal weight .
49, 5'10, 79kg. I should be about 77kg but put a bit on early in the year and its not going away in a rush !
Sue W wins!!
178cm and 69kg. don't like being much less though
55 5'8" and 69kg weighed early evening i.e my Crit race weight?
5.11 and 75kg. On heavier side at mo', but I don't look that healthy under 70kg. Maybe just grumpy cos of the roady miles 😉
5'8'' and 68.5kg
Why 70kg? Nice round number I guess.
42, 6ft and 71kg here. Mrs Blobby complains that's too thin but it's racing season!
6ft and about 14st/89kg; bmi 26.7
Have been down to 12:13/82kg; bmi 24.6 but in honesty I felt too thin despite still having a bit of a paunch. Would be happy to be about 13.5/86kg but struggling to lose it at present; despite having done 5:2 successfully it isn't happening any more, and even though miles are up and I'm running again I'm struggling to keep weight off. In fact that plus some other symptoms (fatigue, always cold) makes me wonder if I need a thyroid test.
Age:37
Weight: 11st 3lbs

*blows kiss at self*
nickc - I should probably 'fess up to being only 5' ... there's not much weight associated with being such a shortie 🙂
BMI of 19.6 if that gives a more accurate comparison?
197.5cm 72-73kgs. I will caveat this with the following: I train quite a bit, my diet is purely functional and it's quite advantageous for me to be light when I compete (and I'm too damn tall so most people I race are lighter by a bit I suspect.)

With your tales of muscle development I expected you to be heavier for some reason, even at that height.

When you like how you fell thsts your ideal weight .
Not quite this but I agree...
😛
50 years young, 6'01" tall and only 108kg I'm feeling relatively small again like I did when I went to Skegness for the day on Saturday 😆
48, 182cm (6 foot), 89-91 kg
Can get down to 87 with lots of training but can never hold it there. Been stable here for about 3 years now having lost over 10 kgs from 100+ max.
Would love to see sub 85 where I was from all my 30's but accept it probably isn't going to happen
Age 39
Height 191cm
Weight 98kg
I'm currently the heaviest I have ever been, mainly due to having no self control and a wife that loves unhealthy snacks so the house is full of them. I was 88 kg when we met 6 years ago. Not bothered by weight per se but like the benefits in climbing and like being fit.
BMI of 19.6 as well Sue W so I'll offer a draw 🙂
5'7"(just)45 yo,75 kg when fat,@ 69kg you can see my ribs and I look hungry.
Currently hovering around71. Built like a barrel.
6'5" and 87kg. Last time I had my body fat measured it was 9%.
My wife things I am skinny.
32, 5'10 and 73kg. Can't remember being much lighter - No plans to drop much lower as I'm at a good racing weight now. Power to weight is more useful as a measure - weight loss at the expense of power is daft.
i was 27, 5 foot 10, 70 kilo.. had two heart attacks and a stroke so changed my lifestyle so now i m 52, 5 foot 10 and 110 kilo.. never felt better..
176cm (5'9" ish) and 81kg (13st ish), which is the heaviest I've been (was 60kg when I graduated 25 years ago), but then my only sport now is weight lifting, so I've gained a fair bit of muscle in the last 2 years.
45
5'6"
61kg
Seems to be my ideal weight any less and I don't feel well.
Whistle blows and I'm off like a rocket and go up climbs quick I just get nailed on the flats.
46
5'11"
70kg
10kg less than a year ago.
178cm/5'10
78kg/12.5 stones.
I have managed to drop about a stone over the last 5 years by eating less ... 😆
My weight now is similar to time when I was 18 many decades ago. However, it took me a while to go from 68kg to 78kg. Then I started pigging out and my weight went up to about 13.5 stones (85kg+ I think. Now, I am back to my normal weight but I think I want to be at 75kg so I can have 3kg room for pigging out.
OP, running will make you loose muscle weight not the fat if I can recall ... 😮

High 5 Perfect Weight Man!
45 6'2" 81kg been that around that weight for years. Ideal weight for me for normal life but prob a few kg over for racing xc, but power to weight works out ok and I like to sprint.
54,
5'6
10st 8. 74KG?
Three years back I was doing quite a lot of road miles & got down to 9st 12
5'10"
62-63kg (mass)
30" waist
Been the same for the last 25 ish years.
Up hills good. Long flats on the road bad.....
5'7
28-30" waist
Sat at 64-65kgs for the last 20yrs
Doc weighed me for the first time since changing meds earlier this year and I'm now at 30" waist and 75kgs!
Not complaining as virtually pain free, stronger and a 13" drop 😀
189cm and 119kg here.
I am trying to get it down to 110kg before winter, and will then re-evaluate my goals and see if I want to try and nudge under the 100kg mark for the first time in 20 years!
My problem seems to be lack of sleep and excess stress as my diet is pretty damn clean and remarkably low cal at the moment without having as much impact as I would anticipate. I am also not doing anything like enough exercise, which is annoying as if I was the first two problems would also vanish!
I think I need to get my sh*t together next week.
