9/8/20:
61.0 kg, BMI 20.6, 0.6 kg loss.
Waist 75.0 cm, WHtR of 0.436, 0.5 cm loss.
New evidence suggests that the lighter the body weight, the better when fighting COVID-19. So I'll push on for a bit more.

Which obviously means you're going to have to make more significant changes to get lighter. But If you're happy at 87, then mission accomplished.

Yeah - I'd like to get a bit lighter, but right now I'm in the middle of a compressed (due to COVID) road racing season. Frankly, I'm a bit nervous about a couple of tough races over the next two weekends, and I just want to get through them before I think about changing anything.Nobody wrote: ↑Mon Aug 31, 2020 3:08 pmWhich obviously means you're going to have to make more significant changes to get lighter.

Depending on what Saturday brings, I might have to exit my weight loss mode. I don't want to get my weight into the 50s, but I find changing modes difficult.

Same here.

As is fairly obvious, set points are just the relationship between one's genetics, one's diet and the activity/exercise one gets. I remember having an apparent set point at about the same BMI as you have now (27.5). There was a time when I thought it was almost impossible to reach your goal BMI (23.7). Until I changed my diet and then went straight passed it. Now I don't believe in set points. My weight wanders up and down depending on what I'm doing with my diet in any particular week.rollmop wrote:It appears around 87kgs is my body's 'set point' and it is fighting against losing any more weight.

Yeah - to be honest, I don't measure my waist very often, because it's slightly more inconvenient than just jumping on the bathroom scales. I will do so soon, though.

I think that it's a good idea. I agree with your changes.Nobody wrote: ↑Sat Oct 03, 2020 12:30 pmI've updated the initial post to include a bit on WHtR again. I've also removed the years off the thread title as 2021 is coming around soon. I understand that people often use individual years to mark progress, or lack of. However, the advantage of keeping this thread is that the previous year's posts aren't as hard to find as in an old thread. Also one could argue that weight management should be an ongoing process, rather than something that has an end point.
If anyone has an objection to this, please post.
