I was 95.8 kilos and planned on being down to 78. However, when I was at university (20 years ago), my weight was between 73 and 75 kilos. I came across this fantastic article, others may have read it as well.

After reading it and having a think, I may have to revise my target to lower than I originally intended.
A good article, that. I know what you mean about revising your target - I'm just going to try and keep on losing for a while, see what happens. Already the running feels a bit easier, especially on the hills so I have an incentive to keep at it.
It was interesting! It means my target of 12st is about spot on! And my personal ideal of 11st 7lb would be over his suggested limits!
....76.2kg and 73kg respectively!!
No Edale Skyline for me but was climbing at Froggatt. (Some impressive falls going on there...).
I won't be around tomorrow, so here's this week's weigh-in:
85.2kg
Just managed to weigh myself...at home, just as I got up, in my boxers!! :o So, I hope, this is difinatively my basic weight. 78.4kg. Cheers!! :)
Do you want me to take of 30g for the boxers?Quote:

Therefore I'm already almost 12% over 'average' but, adding insult to injury, to stand a chance of winning a 10 mile (or longer) race I need to weigh 126.25 lbs (9 stones hahahahahahahaha!). Now, how to lose a 'mere' 2 stone and 12 lbs.............Quote:

That said the winner of that race was stupidly skinny and light it has to be said
Stolly that puts me at 8 stone 3 to be race fit, two stone under my current weight. I can see it would get me up the hills quicker but I don't think I'll be seeing it anytime soon. And I'm not posting my glorious physique on here! You look just fine but you are clearly not fast enough :)
I have no idea what I 'should' weigh, if I want to win owt...
...but I don't particularly ever see myself winning a fell race, so I'm not too worried about what I 'should' weigh!
I just know that a good bit less than I am right now would mean more fell-fun.
