Presently 88kg on my journey from 110kg to 80kg.
ETA sometime next summer.
I'm 38, 5'10 and currently at 66kg.. aiming for 63ish by the end of summer
I can't be bothered with messing around with what I eat or drink.
I prefer interval training twice a week to lose weight.
5'11 and 82k, which I feel is where I should be for my body shape.
I am also not doing anything like enough exercise, which is annoying as if I was the first two problems would also vanish!
You have probably already thought of this but I always feel that the easiest way to get the regular exercise that you need is to make it part of your daily routine, the most obvious thing being your commute (if you have one!). Even if you can't cycle all the way to work you can still walk or cycle to the station, or park further from work and walk in, or even just take the stairs instead of the lift when you get there! Current thinking is that it's important not to underestimate the importance of even a little bit of daily physical activity. It. May not be enough to help with weight loss but it does seem to make a large difference to a whole raft of other potential issues, including stress 🙂

We'd all be much better off without scales - it's just too easy to measure weight and obsess over it. Power:weight ratio is what matters uphill. If you're strong and flexible you'll crash better. If you ride MTBs it seems a lot more useful and fun to get stronger than thinner.
44, 6ft, 79kg. Lost about 5kg recently, trouser size went from 38 to 34. Tape measure is most important.
Don't like the idea of being 70kg to be healthy, ^ also thinking of starting strength training.
75.5kg

33yo
22.5bmi
Lightest I've ever been, purely down to riding more, I also eat a lot more as well.
A slightly chubby 75kg at 6' (182cm) and 35y old.
I'm 3kg heavier than I was 10years ago tomorrow. But am a bit broader in the shoulders...but also have more tummy fat...
2 stone over what I should be. Time to do something about it.
tinribz, strength training is great! As is yoga. I've found a local yoga class I can do at lunchtime and I've been doing deadlifting in the garage at home (got up to 130kg so far). Am standing up straighter and suffering far fewer annoying back/shoulder niggles (which I'm rather prone to normally). Sitting and pedalling bikes isn't very natural. Pump tracks or BMX tracks are a nice workout if you can find one!
FWIW I'm 179cm and 79kg in metric. And eat everything in [s]excessive[/s] large quantities.
40yrs old 5ft 11, at my racing (well riding more quickly than a sunday spin) weight a couple of years ago I was 11st 1lb of lean mean sixpacked tattooed evil, then divorce, work stress, no riding and starting smoking again then gave up and scoffed food like a fker soon resulted in me being a whooppin 14st! Luckily having shoulders like a chimp hides a lot of the blob as I just widen out rather than get a gut, so i didnt look tooo horrific
New job, new lady, new love of bikes and riding back down to 12st 7lb and dropping rapidly so will soon be back to a decent shape.
66kg

Something like 22.5 bmi. Not that it means anything!
I like racing.
37, 178cm, 68kg. Barely changes from summer riding loads eating salad or winter sitting on the sofa hiding from the weather with beers.
I got a bit ill when I was 19-20 though and my weight dropped nearly to 50kgs, that was unpleasant.
47, 185cm, 80kg ish, happy with that, been under 70kg which probably wasn't good!
43.
5'10 (177cm?)
145lbs (66kg).
BMI when we did that thread was 21 or 21.5?
Weight only fluctuated by around a kilo since I was 21, actually gone down as I've stopped weight/strength training and lost the bit of upper body mass I had.
40, 188, 73kg, 9% body fat, 20.7 bmi.
Consistent numbers over the previous 20 or so years.
186cm, 72kg
33, 5'10", 81kg 🙁
Would like to hit mid-70s... mostly through exercise but I find it just makes me hungry. Still, down from 86kg at my peak - just need to keep on it!
Not weighed/measured myself in years. Probably around 15st and was 6'5". I do know my age though, which is 45.
6ft1.6 and 95kg. 'BMI' of 28. Although if I lost any weight below 93kg I'd look odd.
Something like 22.5 bmi. Not that it means anything!
It definitely means [i]something[/i] but I agree it should also only be a starting point. Waist size and, if you have an accurate way of measuring it like a Tanita machine, body fat percentage need to be taken into account as well (those scales that you can buy that also measure body composition can be quite inaccurate, unfortunately! 🙂 )
52, 178cm and 82-ish kg (haven't been on the scales in 4 weeks). I have been down as low as 77kg but it wasn't a pleasant sight.
Recent pre-op appointment resting heart rate was 49 (I was late and had rushed in) and 122/78 blood pressure.
79-80kg is the sweet spot for me.
36, 5'10 and 67kg. Though that varies quite fast, I've not done much riding for a couple of weeks so it's up a bit. If I ever stop riding completely I'll be 100kg within a year 😆
33yrs, between 5'7 and 5'8, 58kg, BMI of 19. Eat healthily excluding a weakness for beer and pain au raisin.
Do well in hilly races, get destroyed on flatter races. Going to race cross this winter to try and improve that. I probably need to do weights to up the power but it just doesn't sit well with me.
Crikey , you lot make me feel huge!
45 years old
5'10" , 34" waist , 46" chest.
currently weigh 15.5st which in the grand scheme of things makes me obese although according to my doctor at the last health check I don't look it .In my defence I am carrying quite a bit of muscle but could happily lose a stone of fat.
Interesting thread, not least of all for the curious mix of imperial and metric measures, bout time we committed to metric IMO.

The word is lean...
Age 24
179cm
80kg
About as lean as I get 5 weeks out from an ironman. I have been a comfortable 95kg when playing rugby regularly.
I'm 63, five nine and a half tall and 67kgs.
48 this month 179 cm and 67 kg gives a BMI of 21. A racing weight of 65 kg would be errrr difficult, not least because of all the comments about how ill I look! FTP is 4.2 Watts/kg, hills - check, flats - check, sprints bwahahahaaha!
43..old
5'6" tall ( short)
63kg
Age 37, height 6' 2" weight 12.5 stones / 79kg, 32 waist, 42 chest. I ( not deliberately) got down to close to 12 stones 6 months or so ago and was told by my ex girlfriend that she could see too many of my bones!! I tend to agree.
6'0", 79kg, most of it in my legs. Could do with losing 3kg or so to get back to my leanest but I like food.
kg?
Are we bloody Europeans?
Stones, pints and miles, we're Brits, and that's the end of it 😛
(and for what it's worth, 42, 5'7", 11st - beer belly that needs shifting, and bike rides doesn't do it. Beer has something to do with it 😉 ).
BMI is balls. I'm nearly overweight according to BMI. Though on the other hand, do the BHF tape measure test and I'm nearly clinically obese! (again with that belly).
I'm 6'3" and wavering between 16 and 17 stone. Mooshed my hand over a month ago and couldn't do anything active, leading to boredom, leading to chocolates and put on a stone 🙁
All my fat accumulates solely on my belly, arms, back and legs are all muscley/toned but my belly is just jelly 😳
39 years old - at least for a few more weeks, 175cms (5'9" in old money), 85kgs...body fat 14%. I do those Insanity and UFC fit sessions as well as biking...great for getting the body fat levels down.
Im more the diesel/sprinter than hill climber.
193cm 36yo
Currently 111kg, was 107kg at start of summer holidays, I think my self medicating my cold with bottles of whisky didn;t help.
Have been in the past just under 80kg after Dengue fever followed by a severe bout of food poisoning from eating uncooked duck laarp.
Ideally want to be down to 100kg to save my knees
180cm (about 6ft) 73kg (11.5st), 39yo
Are we bloody Europeans?
Yes unfortunately for you, geographically that is.

So basically we're all fatbastads and hopefully doing something about it.
A good title for an over 50s - 60s "pootle" 💡 😆

Kin'hell Seanole, Feather weight!
My bmi is 25.4, so I am officially overweight. If I lose 1.5 kg I'll be at a healthy weight. I'll have to cut out that third pint on Thursdays evenings
48yo, 6'2", 13st 10lbs (87kg) 34" waist & 46" chest.
Sprints and short, sharp hills are my Nemesis - I'm a big, old diesel with a stubborn streak and a try-hard attitude.
