Lighter this fall, and holding it. It doesn't hurt that I blew through 1000kJ in 59 minutes for my lunch ride today. WINDY and 33F.

You're all too fat for this sport and you know it.

mr handy 12-15-08 07:10 PM

I'm still in the neighborhood of 155lb +-3 (depends on time of day and how much h2o I have been drinking).
I don't think I have ever weighed more than 160
I don't own a scale.
I would like to weigh 145ish... I would be ripped. I need to do crunches and ride more.

I'm actually losing weight. I've been cranking it up a bit on my rides -- burning the calories.

Dropped about 7 pounds so far and looking at another 3 to get to 148 by Christmas.

Wife informed me that if I get down to 145 she is filing for divorce. That sets a floor.

... for that one day.

When I am in a period of intense training I need to eat a lot so that I can recover for the next day's ride. Then it is a struggle not to put weight on. In the late fall/early winter I back off on the intensity just enough that I can recover while eating a lot less. In that mode the pounds fly off while not taking a huge hit in power. This year I've lost about 15 lbs so far and looking to lose about 5 more.

That sounds like a challenge to me.

And no, I haven't gained any weight. Have lost weight. Eat less.

The high today was -2 F. Winter is here. I gained 4 pounds at the end of the season and am now coming back down.

Same here. At my present rate, I'll 750+ miles just for December. I've never done 700 miles in a December in my entire life. Heck, i don't think I've ever had a December where I did more than 300 miles.

I've dropped 12 lbs in the last 6 weeks. I've also ridden 840 miles in the last 6 weeks. Another personal record for an off season.

Loser of weight = Thanksgiving eve in the express line w/ Hungry Man turkey dinner, can of cranberry sauce, and single roll of toilet paper.

DataJunkie 12-15-08 08:10 PM

I gained a half pound.

RideCO 12-15-08 08:18 PM

I've lost 9 pounds in the last 4 weeks, according to my calorie counts I should be down only 6. A few more pounds and I won't be too fat for this sport anymore.

That's like saying 'a few more IQ points and I could win a Nobel Prize'. That's not going to happen either.

DataJunkie 12-15-08 08:21 PM

Winning a nobel prize may be more likely. :p

s4one 12-15-08 08:24 PM

I gained a good amount of weight just over the weekend, beer + eating dennys or Ihop at 8am after partying = FAT. Damn Im I gotta lose it.

I've been getting fat since 1990

Cleave 12-15-08 08:56 PM

Hi,

I'll post so that I can try to shame myself into losing weight before the end of the year. I've gained 5-6 pounds since July and I'm not happy. :mad:

CPREZ150 12-15-08 09:45 PM

yeah im not exactly sure what my weight was, or what is now...


but i do guarantee you that i have gained a few pounds

downtube42 12-15-08 09:49 PM

My most recent excuse is Indiana joining in the insanity called daylight savings time. So much for my 6 am daily rides that kept the pounds off through the summer.
