113.1kg
26% BF (this is from the scales and calipers which isnt very accurate)
109cm waist
1cm off the waist I am most happy with as thats far more likely a reduction in fat than changes in hydration etc.

Haven’t weighed myself but feeling better
Survived the first week of better diet and a solid 10 hours of training this week. Walked up the stairs to the office every day (9 floors).
A good start

1kg down, exactly what the numbers say should be the result, no first week bonanza for me.
Happy with that though. 100.1 kg annoyingly.

First weigh in for 2024 was 80kg. 5kg to shed which is going to be tricky as I’ve stopped running for the time being but my appetite is still the same!

Not a good start to the year. Just one run last week (NYD Parkrun) so more of an effort to be made this week.

106.6kg & 34.4%, was expecting a decent start after Xmas/New year excesses but not that much.
Even I couldn’t have sh@t out 4kg of takeaway after New years Eve, so suspect it might also be Creatine related, which I stopped a week or so before Xmas and haven’t started again yet.

96.3kg, a little down on pre Xmas so pleased
77.8kg muscle
14.9kg fat
3.6kg bone
and
51.3kg water
But last weigh in had 80.9 muscle and 12kg fat but 2kg more water so guessing the lack of fluids in me affects fat/muscle “estimates” as the previous is quite unrealistic when doing the Truffle Shuffle test

I don’t really have any faith in the bodyfat percentage my scales produce, other than it seems quite consistent and goes up/down as I would expect it to, so I keep track of it for the trend even if the absolute figure is a bit useless.

77kg this morning (and the couple of other times I’ve weighed since 4th January), which is lightest I’ve been in well over 20 years I reckon.
Sticking with 16/8 but being a bit crap during the 8 hour window, I reckon I had 3 ice creams yesterday.
If only I could manage to hit the sweet treats on the head, plus add some more exercise…

That “craving” for sugar could be the bodies way of demanding energy/fuel as it is short due to a long fast. If you ignored it and ate fruit, or other carbs it may help, easier said than done!

1 week and no change, not a great start really

First time poster on this thread. On the scales yesterday and it said 86.7kg. I’d like to be in the lower 80s to be honest. I made it to around 80kg in April last year when I did London Marathon. I’ve been screwed ever since (knee trouble) and haven’t run further than 5k in a single day since then. Christmas didn’t help (as expected).
One thing I’m please that I have is a graph of my weight over the past 14 years. In 2013 I bought a Withings Smart Scale and it’s still working great. My best year in tri was 2013 and you’ll also see I dropped a bit of timber in 2019 when I did my last Ironman. Got right into Zwift in late 2020 and that took me through until I ran London last year. Then it all went downhill (or uphill if you look at the graph!).

I restarted 16/8, I have about 3 coffees in the morning to kick any food craving! Last year I only did it a couple of days a week, this time I’m trying to go full time. Do you do it everyday, have you found it has any impact on higher intensity runs?

Sorry, I meant to reply to your query in the 2023 thread.
I also have a number of black coffees in the morning, I’ve had at least 3 today. As a result I do find myself a little wired and can find it challenging to focus on work. I’m being quite relaxed about it (16/8), especially now I’ve dropped a few kg and I think I must be approaching my racing weight. If I need to make one day have a 9/10 eating window, so be it. I kind of allow myself one cheat day a week.
I don’t really have that many intensive runs in my schedule, my hard track session is on a Tuesday evening and by then I’ve had plenty of time to fuel. Any other runs I can fit in are either easy or a race. If racing I’ll allow myself to cheat the evening before & morning.
I swam for the first time in ages last week (local pool was shut since Sep/Oct due to flooding taking out the electrics). The tri club session is 9pm-10pm, I was pretty ravenous afterwards and that became a cheat evening!

I got mine end 2018, end 2020 was at “race weight” which is sub 90.
I always hung around 93 give or take most of my adult life, in 2012/2013 got as low as 83 but struggled with colds a lot over winter, levelled at 89ish but 2015 piled it on after i started coaching; not training.
During 2020 locked up, we prepared real meals as we had time, consequently snacked less and an enforced hour outside everyday focuses my mind, add that i zwifted a lot as i was always home! Went up again after lockdown, steadily though. Back on a downward trend now

Lots of talk about race weight recently
I 100% have one for tri and running
Swimming and cycling probably a touch better a touch heavier?!
Once I hit 76/77 kg I literally can’t run, I know others here can move with a touch on, not me.
I guess lots of training and a healthy diet you find “ we’re you need to be naturally “

Not sure i have an idea weight, just what i am good at health wise when training / eating well. When i played hockey I was 220lbs (hockey is yank) which is 100kg give or take, was definitely stronger, and much younger considering i stopped playing competitively at about 22 yrs old. Went back to football, County level Saturday league , just below semi pro, but pretty serious training and playing still, and levelled around 93 with less muscle more speed and stayed there after my knee injury when i got back into cycling/swimming again. Couple of fluctuations due to booze, but it was when tri got more serious that weight fell off to eventually 82.9 which made me weak.
