i dont have any scales and refuse to weigh myself, especially when doing exercise, muscule density is greater than fat so i always put on a bit of weight when i start exercising, but still loose body fat. I need a belt to hold up my jeans at the mo. I know I am loosing fat because my clothes feel bigger and i look slimmer in the face., and my boobs shrink - arrrr! I am just aiming to drop a dress size rather than weight.
Well done and keep up the good work.
there's something about writing down your goals and achievements that spurs us on even more....i don't know about my weight up to this point but from now on will weigh myself every week to see what's going on...
so...
24th Feb: 74kg

well done scott[:)]
I do weigh myself most days but only for a laugh - just to make sure I am not putting weight on - I have lost about 2 stone in 6 months and now need to start building up the weight again ... long story but I now need a full new set of clothes I have lost 4 inches from my waist and unfortunately 2 inches from my chest and nothing fits me ... whatever anyone says about Triathlon it is bloody expensive lol ...
This morning I was mostly 76kg I am aiming to be sub 70kg by June.
Tips on weight recording have the scales close at hand each morning get out of bed perform your ablutions and then weighh yourself. By all means take a daily score but its a weekly average that should be decreasing
I get what your saying though about not worrying too much about loosing weight, but loosing the right weight can do great things for your performance, especially running!
So here goes:
02/2008: 94kg
08/2008: 83kg
21/02/2009: (I go hi tech!!)
Weight 85.6kg, BMI 25.6, BF% 13.8, visceral fat 10, muscle mass 41.1%
Goal: drop the 5.6 kg and make sure its all fat, preferably from the gut!
seriously well done everyone Ive set myself the modest target of dropping 2 stone this season 1/4 of the way so far but the last stone is gonna be a bugger cos its all gotta come of the belly . Time for sunday morning bricks with long slow runs

Today :106.1Kg
Happy [:D]
If I lost any weight the wind would blow me away. i am 6 FT and 11.stone 6.ibs
i like to think of it as bantom weight.
21/02/2009: 85.6kg, BMI 25.6, BF% 13.8, visceral fat 10, muscle mass 41.1%
28/02/2009: 84.8kg, BMI 24.8, BF% 13.2, vf 10, mm 41.2%
Actually, for me it was/is worse than that.
Step 1. Loose weight -> Waist goes from 36 (38 on a bad day) to 32 inches.
Requires a new set of clothes.
This is done through walking, then running.
Step 2. Start doing Tri training, i.e. more stuff in the gym/swimming, waist goes down to 30 inches, but Chest/Back increases!
Now my shirts don't fit again: Too big over the stomach, too small at the chest/back.
I now need a second set of clothing.
Maybe I should just wear compression clothing all the time.
I'm not really grumbling.

In terms of weight, I sort of don't need to loose any - just need to get the composition right.
Since not being able to run for the last month, my weight has crept back up again. But some of this is to do (honest!) with more gym work and strengthening work.
My target is really to get body fat < 15%.
My race weight is probably around 12st/76 Kgs.
Last Monday I was 12st 9lbs - Heaviest for a year or so. But I spent most of the weekend quaffing and eating.
Today I was 12st 4lbs.
Body fat percentage 16.5% last week, 16% this week (not really statistically significant).
If I was just running, then I think my ideal race weight would be 11.5st. Possibly a bit lighter.
The missus says that If I dip below 12st then she will not be happy, as she doesn't like skinny blokes.
Trying to lose most of the weight before training harder. Started running, doing about 5 miles 3-4 times.
Talked my boss into signing up for cycle to work scheme, collecting new bike on Friday.
5th Jan 93.5 Kg
1st Feb 87.6 Kg
1st March 85.3 Kg
Target 80 kg

next update 9th Mar
It's quite frustrating; am naturally curvy but don't look 'overweight', I eat a healthy low fat diet apart from the very odd treat at weekends. I base my diet around plenty of fruit and veg, Gillian MacKeith and the Glycaemic Index loosely- not too many carbs especially at night.
Breakfast = homemade smoothie with porridge oats, ground almond, soy milk, fat free natural Yoghurt and handful fruit
Lunch = healthy brown rice etc, aduki beans, quinoa, salsa and avocado or tuna (with small amount mayo) wholemeal bap x2
Dinner = chicken breast dry pan cooked and fresh veg/sauerkraut with small amount of granule gravy so it's not all dry.
I have virtually cut out alcohol (have maybe one or two pints midweek and on saturdays a few glasses of wine or beers if out with friends) and am doing at least an hours fairly high intensity exercise virtually every evening. I use isostar drink powder at a low concentration for intense classes and a small protein shake after workouts so that I get protein intake within 1/2 hour. I don't eat a lot of chocolate or crisps/biscuits- eat rice cake things with a really thin layer of mayo instead as a snack.
So what am I doing wrong?! Every BMI etc tells me I'm overweight and even the nurse commented that 'I carry it well' but I don't really know what else I can do/eat so that i have the energy to train and can lose some weight. Anyone got any ideas? What is working for you? Apologies for length of this!!!
But the main thing is not to get too hung up on weight, I haven't weighed myself since I stopped competing in lightweight rowing where it actually mattered, and go on how I look. When I think I have lost enough weight from how I look, I'll up my calories, so calories in is equal to calories out. In my opinion the BMI system is a load of rubbish, that is a VERY general guideline my sedentary people, and has no account for people who actually train for something and so will have more muscle mass on them. If you look thinner, then that ultimately is what you are looking for, not what a pair of scales is telling you!
9/3/09: 12st 3lb (75.5kg 23.2 BMI)
steady as she goes!
Race weight target (for 29 March) <= 12st, 76kg.
Although 75kg sounds like a nice round number.
