'Dale Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) http://www.bikewalknetwork.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/mountain_biking_-_cartoon.gif So, Rider, the sun is rising a lil' earlier.Birds are chirping again every morning. Spring is definitely around the corner. What makes cycling extra harder is W E I G H T. How was your winter performance in the kitchen area?Did you lose / gain / hovered? Or don't you really care? C'mon, own up! B) I am about 3.0 kgs over my ideal shape. Sitting squarely at 76. 5 kgs. Not too shabby. And there's work to do. Edited August 20, 2011 by AirBender
Benjamin Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 1 kg to spare. Hanging in at 79, so happy. Drank beer for the first team over 3 week holiday in July so happy. 1 month of solid intervals before hill2hill be perfect.
Blokman Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Up from 73 kgs beginning June to 79 kgs.Flu.All I do is complain and eat.Driving my family nuts.Hoping to get back on next weekend. Starting right at the back.
Flowta Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 At 108kg at the mo Been semi-hovering there for awhile. Gotta get off my ass and stop using work as an excuse. Will be Stoked to reach 98kg or even 95kg. Lower than that and I will be skin and bone (mine are heavy )
divernick Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 I'm about 180cm tall and 80-83kg....should be 75kg....Starting to commute to work next month - 22km each way, at least 3 times a week. Hope to shed a few....
GrumpyOldGuy Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 I always liked the comment by Floyd Landis, "I don't diet, when I go a few pounds over ideal I stop eating for a few days, yes I get grumpy as hell, but I shift the weight" - but he never was quite sane.! My weight never changes, I have been 77/78/79 kgs for the last 20 years, I dont diet, I dont watch what I eat and I enjoy a glass of wine every night (okay sometimes a bit more ) I always have a few beer's over the weekend and indulge in a few of life's pleasures, like fresh lemon cream cake, or hot malva pudding and ice cream........in my opinion there's more to life than riding a bicycle and life's far to short to worry about what you eat, keep it in moderation and enjoy.
Mads Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 I January I weighed 92kg. I am 1.83m I now weight 78kg. I lost 14kg this winter. Lots of training and watching what I eat. Need to loose 4 kg more. I am positive I would have by the end of September when riding the Karoo to Coast. One day at a time. One kg at a time.

You must be noticing some serious difference especially when going up hill. You weigh 2 (road bikes) less than you did! I'm around 88/89 at the moment. 3kgs above my race weight but it will drop off quickly enough when IM training begins on November 1. Until then I will just be "fat" and happy. I am 194cm tall.
no calves Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 lost 5kg. mainly due to student tour and motivation, and lack of cycling previous winters
brotherdarryl Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Gee, ja, it is easy to let it the scale climb a bit higher during winter, but hasnt been too bad this year, only 1 or 2 kg's for me - Been really bad weather to maintain the training.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Down 6kg in 4 weeks. Now down to 97 again, after a few months being at or over 100. Ideally need to be at approx 90kg. Long way to go. But I also love my beer.
Mads Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 WOW! Nice work man. You must be noticing some serious difference especially when going up hill. You weigh 2 (road bikes) less than you did! Nope .... still sucks at the hills. I am just running out of excuses.
I-FELT-the-FORCE Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) Stopped smoking, immigrated, got a new job and lost 5 kgs in the last four months (62kg's) with LOTS of training!!!! Righos and the Bwlch circuits 3 times a week will do that to you!! (do yourself a quick favour and google search for these) Missing the SA sun though, its wet out here Edited August 20, 2011 by I-FELT-the-FORCE
Eddy Gordo Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 hmm, yeah me too suck at hills still and probably still weigh the same, I dont even wanna check, but well done to all of you
