I'm currently below 160 lbs for the first time in 2-3 years.

I feel great. The bike seems to like it as well. You got any idea how much ca$h 'Zuki spends trying to lose 15 pounds of weight on one of their bikes? A LOT!!

I lost the weight by simply eating less and walking on a treadmill for 15-30 minutes a night. That coupled with the light workouts (with weights) that I've been doing has been eating up more calories than I have been consuming, so the result is weight loss.

I included that last part because I seem to be surrounded by people that think calories don't matter . . . they say it's the amount of salt/fat/carbs that you eat that makes the difference. Uh . . . they're all still struggling to lose weight while they inform me of the salt/fat/carb content of my 400 calorie lunch. I always smile and say, "Yeah, this is probably going to kill me."

Nice one!

You bring up a good point though. Racers spend the big bux to drop weight from the bike. It makes me wonderwhat kind of advantage this short 115 lb person I call me has on a big bike that can't tell if I'm on it or not.

Be carefull what you wish for, I used to be like you. I could just stuff food away like there was no tomorrow and never get over 150lbs ( I'm 6'2") then for some reason it just started piling on and now I'm 240lbs yet eating probably the least amount of food I ever have in my life.

I second that I'm also 6'2" and weighed 155 most of my life. My weight went way up for a while, soring past 200+. Now I'm down to 198 and holding. Luckily it's evenly distributed! Still need to work out more and get in better shape. :roll:

 

[Nexus242]

No cares right here. Haven't really worked out since Nov, I always fall off during the holidays-no time eh, but I'm still sittin pretty at 170lbs sortin my 32" waist. I need to get back in there soon and start liftin again. Swimsuit weather is coming up and no one wants to be a fat guy in the pool with the hairy back.

Damn Nexus! Wax that back! :mrgreen:

I have such an oddball weight. I weigh about 185 and am 5'8". I'm not fat at all and not jacked with muscles. I just get confused because my girlfriends magazine says my prime weight is about 140lbs. I would be a Somalian if I were that small! It's a mystery to me why I weigh so much but don't show it at all......

heres a bad pic of me with my little black pug on my stomach "Tank"

i know it, but my dad is 6' and never weight over 16 till he was in his 50's and retired. then he put on a little bit of a gut, and got up to 180 or so.

my grandfather (moms side) was 6-2 and probably no more than 180 or so. we are just a thing family.

Ok I hate you. I"m like 160-163 and I'm 5'7"

 

[Freakinout]

I'm 6'2" at about 175lbs. Used to be at around 230, but I got rid of the extra a long time ago.

 

[prekarious1]

6'2", 195lbs.

Think its something along the lines of every 10lbs dropped "gives" you an extra 1hp in real world application.

 

[Adrenalin_Junky]

:!: Props Prekarious1~ im exactly the same @ 6'2 195 hopin to climb to 125-130 with a lil more training over summer for next Rugby season! (then its new bike time!)
Protein Protein Protein~ Balanced diet n excercise is the way to go~

:-| Dieting is the only Business that has a 95% failure rate and is still able to expand (no pun intended) :evil:

 

[prekarious1]

Know what ya mean A J. I get to stop working out for a couple of weeks since I'm getting surgery on Thurs, but will be getting right back into it afterwards. Hoping to hit about 225 before I'm happy.

 

[Street buff]

Man, To loose weight... I've been getting my butt kicked in the Army for 11yrs now. They say I'm suposed to weigh 200-208. Ha Ha Ha. I've been 230 for ten yrs of it.
Flux beteen 230 and 225, but I'm 6'4. And man do I look good in the mirror.
But congrats for your success!!!!!!

I've always heard 8lbs.




I usually weigh inbetween 150-160 lbs. But I'm only 5'6" and 6-8% body fat.

Check your body fat %, not your actual weight.

This will mean a lot more because you can tell how many lbs of fat you are carrying around.

BTW I'm gettin ready for bike week so I'm at about 150 lbs and 8% right now :twisted: I hope to get down to about 6% (The Mrs. loves the abs!!!)

 

[prekarious1]

8 or 10, either way it is measurable on a track. I'm not sure of the exact amount or science behind it. BF is a good way to tell whats going on with you though. Don't think I have ever been over 10%, but have no real idea of where I am now.
