99.0kg (same as last week) Spent most of Sunday doing fence at front, fell asleep in the afternoon and decided to get Dominos for tea. Rest of the week was pretty good so no change is probably fair.
88.4kg. I feel like a bloody elephant. I keep thinking how better a runner I could be with this excess weight. And then do bugger all about losing it.
Have to take control of this, otherwise I will be battling the sweepers at SDW100.

Just volume, diet yesterday was beyond disgraceful.
Oh well it’s a new week.

I did do a search but nothing recent. Do you guys use smart scales with various body metrics or just scales? Any recommendations?
up 0.9kg to 82.1kg, fair amount of booze and an utterly mahoosive portion of cod and chips for tea last night may have been a factor!
83.6

Regular digital scales for me on the tiled bathroom floor. Have no idea if they are accurate but my belt tells me they are close!

Admittedly it’s not very scientific but I just look in the mirror & see how many ribs I can see the outline of.
Cheap though.

My wife bought Salter scales so I get some stats out of it, but body fat was wildly different from the gym scales I had been using.
I get an idea of trend for muscle % body fat % from it which can be encouraging, but it doesn’t give absolute value on the trend graphs for some reason which is annoying.

79.2 kg, down a bit from last week. Happy with that. Bike ride yesterday showed that I’ve got a long way to go

After struggling with motivation to train for a while, I’m glad to have got my mojo back, and have put 6 - 7 consistent weeks together.
I’m 5’ 7", so my ideal weight is around 72 - 74kg, and I’m currently 85kg. I’ve set myself a fairly ambitious target to get down to my ideal weight within 2 months. Keeping the training going, and wrapping my head around the mental discipline to stay away from the chocolate cupboard, is where it’s at for me for the next few months.
I hope everyone is doing ok out there - I can’t wait to get back to partaking in events.

After gorging myself on an enormous takeaway on Friday night, I had a bit of a word with myself and have got back into thinking about what I eat, rather than just constantly hitting the snack drawer. Managing to chisel away at the lard and just about back under 74kg.

I am what I am, depending which sport and distance is being done. I know what my inform race weight is. Do the training and eat well, and your body finds it’s balance. Forcing the issue can result in mild performance drops to serious health issues.

I’m trying not to snack when the stress gets high, or at least hit the fruit bowl.

This has really been brought home to me recently…
The guy I train with is flying, OK he’s 37? good background in endurance, very intelligent and virtually off work whilst still getting paid …!!
His zwift watts are just climbing… weekly, his running is improving we’re he’s leaving me each run, he was 80kg in December last year.
He’s lost 0.5kg…!? In three months, he has all kinds of plans to loose weight… why?
As you say his body will find its natural balance… first ride out this weekend, I’ll be seeing the back of a ribble ultra quite a lot this year I’m guessing

I’m currently finding Carrots a pretty good stress eating product; there’s something satisfying in the crunch.

…mmm with a tub of hummus to dip in
Fruit and walnuts are my go to at the moment.
Whenever I eat a raw carrot I nibble the outer layer off first leaving the sweet juicy core bit to finish off last. It takes longer so keeps you occupied and the last bit is really nice.
I’m a bit OCD and eat all my meals in weird ways and don’t mix foods together E.g. A roast dinner would be each vegetable separately, then the potatoes and the meat last.

I had a g/f that did that once. I’d never noticed until my sister said she was ‘weird’. We broke up eventually, big sister knows best.
