A 5ft 5 female in cycling would be very thin, maybe 53kilos id say. But you dont need to be like that for a BG, def not.
Stef I dont really like to talk about weights for women as its very personal.
You are the same height as me, suppose 60 kilos ?
It's ok it was a rhetorical question so no need to feel cornered! I thought you meant climbing not cycling...a climbers condition would probably be ideal for a BGR or mountain marathons. Anyway, I've no idea whether I can meet my BGR goal but I'm going to work towards it and see how I go.

My target weight is set and declared somewhere above and is based on personal not very far distant history. 8 1/2 stone which I think equates to 55 kilos. I used to have a fairly stable weight of 8st 4 (around 52/53 kilos, so skinny cycling weight; akin to a road marathon runner I guess which was my sport at the time) but my ribs and shoulder blades stuck out and I was often accused of being too bony.

I'm not going to go beserk over this...when it feels right I'll stabilise and lose no more.
