    Weighed myself on the first and found I was 72Kg, which was disappointing. I'm blaming it on new scales, which are clearly calibrated differently.

    Anyway, now down to 71kg, concentrating on calories in rather than out. Just want to get to 69kg again and we'll see where we go from there.

    The spare tyre is huge at the moment, too much Xmas chocolate and I've not finished it yet. I also have cravings for Creme Eggs, must by inspired by them being in the news.

    How the bloodyblinkingflip can anyone have a spare tyre when they weigh 71kg? Are you missing limbs or something? Or maybe are about 5' tall?

    some of my work colleagues are under 5ft and sub 50KG one young lass doesn't even come up to my armpit...

    at 6ft and best part of 14stone/90KG I feel at times like Gulliver.

    I'm roughly the same height (couple of inches shorter), but was those dimensions when I was about 18!

    If you think you've got a muffin top..... :oops:

    A friend of mine fell for the marketing hidden in a press release and bought some. Said the chocolate is not as good, otherwise the same.
    Why am I reading this thread? 81.5kg in my work clothes, that'll do because I'm not going on a diet.

    Start of last year I was 85kg, trying to get down to about 73kg, hope it doesn't take me another 4 years!

    You've done a pretty good job though!

    I found I would plateau for some quite long periods and there was a time I was doing 50 miles a day and eating like a horse and so I put a bit back on. I found it pretty easy to get down to about 76kg, but then I was stuck there for about two years.

    70.5kg this morning.

    Off to Spain for a week in the Sierra Nevada come April. I hear their are some brutal climbs around there, so I'd like to get down to around 69kg. Currently hovering around 73kg.

    Trying to cut carbs in the evening and booze during the week. Slowly upping the mileage as well but it's hard now my son is nearly 2. In the summer I can leave home at 5am and get a long ride in before anyone's awake. Impossible to do this in the winter without impacting on family time.

    Just read an interview with froome in which he said he's currently 70kg and is aiming to be 66kg for this years tour :shock:

    Is he 7ft tall or something?

    not a great week as my body adapts to the low carb high fat routine.

    however now im able to ride to work again so a little bit of cardio being added on top of my three weekly weight sessions.

    lol. Froome is much taller than me. 185cm I think. I got down to 69 in 2012 & 2013 without too much difficulty. Being quite short helps.
