I'm at 160. Still. Saw a book review on the Frank Vandenbroucke and he was about my height and 140. That's pro weight, and I'm 46, but still, I'd like to split that difference. I think over the years not being about to lose that last 5 to 10 pounds has kept me from better results.

Weighed in 61.1kg; that means I’ve broken 135 for the first time since 2021. Completely lost the weight training gains since moving back to Korea last August.

Just hit 142; I peaked at 158 when I was out but crawled my way back. I still have about 3-5 to go, but for the most part I measure using bodyfat calipers.

I have been on the new nutrition a.k.a. diet program for a month. Weight is 165.6 this morning. So far, the new plan has been transformational for me - hard to believe. I am much stronger in the gym, riding out of my mind on bike. I did 4 interval sessions this week and feel great. Some of my old guy aches and pains just vanished, skin is better/tighter, and my left knee that was starting to hurt on hard efforts just healed up. And this is just phase one of the program - adaptation without changing too many things.
The doc predicted the above result but I was skeptical and still am to a point. Let's see how it plays out long term.
The changes to my diet were pretty massive. I ate the same thing most of the time at meals and he eliminated 80% of the foods and replaced them with others in different combinations and forbid me, yes forbid me, from eating certain things - some of which I like and thought were healthy. And I have to eat constantly. 3 meals and 3 snacks per day. It is hard to eat all the food specified on my meal program per day. I am never hungry.
Water - drinking the required water per day is very hard to do. I am finally up to 85% of what is required. I pee all the time which is annoying. But I feel fabulous and I am scary fast on the bike.

Been on the low end for me the past few days, right at 145 lbs. I seem to weigh less when I'm not training heavily. On paper it seems counter intuitive, but to me it makes sense somehow, or at least feels correct. Like I'm not bloated from having to eat and drink all the time. Lower consumption in and out, but still enough exercise to be lean and have a high metabolism. More even baseline energy too. This is probably what a healthy person is supposed to feel like.
When the training and overall consumption go up, I tend to creep up a few lbs closer to 150. That's usually not till mid November or so.

I also think weight loss is doable during the race season, but the window of concurrently having high performance with steady weight loss is so slim it is best left to the off season where having bad days on the bike aren't as detrimental.

I weigh most at the first “peak” in TSS after a slump caused by “life”. Then as load becomes regular the weight comes back off.
I knew none of that, that’s what slowtwitch told me a couple times.

I have always had problems about my weight. I would take steps to lose weight, but then leave it. Now I'm doing Wall Pilates, here's the link https://betterme.world/articles/wall...day-challenge/ . When I see the result, I go to it and recommend it even more

Ate very clean yesterday, lots of water, no wine with dinner, and was 143# this morning
. Almost feel like adjusting my weight down in Zwift (from 145) but I'm too lazy / don't care enough to do that. Plus, it's probably karmic payback for having it set there for years and usually being a couple lbs heavier, lol.

Winter is here, and I have no trainer (it's at my wife's apartment an hour away), so lots of gym work for me. I was down to 60.5kg at the beginning of October (lowest ever) and now building back up with some muscle - scale said 61.8kg on Friday night at the gym.
