I'm also obese according to the BMI calc

At 140kg's I would sure hope so   

How many kilos is our single speed machine actually wanting to lose?

BMI is a joke ... when I was at my fittest at school with tons of sport and lean and mean I still came in at just on "Obese" .... frankly, I prefer big boned

According to some charts you are "Morbidly Obese"  - that should give some urgency to the  challenge.

Hi Guys,

Last year I dropped from 134 down to my lowest in Nov 108,6.

After the holidays, I am unfortunately back up to 113. Kgs, so I have my work cut out for me.

 

I started cycling only in October, was previously spinning at the gym since Jan last year, but I much prefer cycling.

Entered my first cycle race being the Tshwane Classic for a warm up for the 94.7, and managed to complete both, but am looking to do much better as far as times go this year.

 

My goal for this year is to get to 95. Kg, so I have joined the pack and lets see where this goes. 

 

Cheers for now.

Hahaha... I'm gonna hold you to that 5kgs. I'd guess that will take you to the low 60's.

Definitely not going riding with you then

I wish...

No in actual fact it will take me to 70 on the dot.

When i reach that, it will be the light i have been since I left school.

 

Please can someone remove my name from the 140 odd kg person. It is not me.

Been there, done that. That silence hurts a bit.

Tried to make a joke with a guy that overtook me this morning.... complete silence. I had to drop my speed alot just so there could be some distance between us - was seriously awkward!!

According to some charts you are "Morbidly Obese" - that should give some urgency to the challenge.

Spoke to a dietician about BMI the other day. Apprently the measurements as to what is normal was taken more than a 100 years ago. She says the BMI is completely irrelevant by today's standards and should be ignored. I'm quite happy to ignore it haha - according to it I am very obese!
