I’m definitely interested. I’d love to shed 10kg.
It sounds like the weekly scale photo is a popular option. Lets continue with the discussion about healthy weight loss, personal updates and if a weekly scales photo is something you find helpful to hold yourself accountable… onwards. Just make sure you are fuelling your workouts!
Here you go, set up through the end of the year…
It should be an open sheet anyone with the link can edit. Should we have a column for goal weight?

What scales (that calculate BF%) would y’all recommend?
Gtorio, thanks for making the spreadsheet. Could we potentially have a formula in there for anyone that uses LB’s to work it out in the sheet please? i dont know how! if not no stress
optional goal weight column sounds good
Probably, let me fool with it.
On the top line is a calculator for conversion. Just enter the lbs in Yellow and it will pop up in the orange block.
I thought about that, but I used to be a powerlifter. It never worked for me. I figured people can work that out for themselves. Maybe we could set the goal weight for what could get you to 5W/kg HAHAHA

I agree, thats something to figure out and maybe adjust along the way yourself depending on where you are currently at and what your long term goals are etc some people got wide shoulders, narrow shoulders, etc etc

Does everyone track calories by planning out meals or just adding calories and by the end of the day make sure you don’t exceed? I seem to have my weight decrease/ and ambetter able to maintain weight when I eat the same lunch everyday. I find it to be efficient at work and it takes the stress of decision making during the work week.
I just eat as I go and log it. I find that tracking it causes me to make better choices.

I track as I go through the day but I get to the point where I can estimate how many calories a meal will have from past experience.
Agreed - been using MyFitnessPal for a while on and off and you get to the point where pretty accurate guesses can be made.

I wish that was my FTP
I blame no one but myself. I stopped training and kept eating as if I was training. Weight quickly came on. I have about 3 weeks of TR SSBMV1 in the books with some additional outdoor rides. It’s starting to come off again. I know what to do and started doing it. My Fitness Pal helps. What I have found helps a great deal is a small kitchen scale to keep a very accurate count of my portions of food. I was eating way more than a single serving on pretty much every single food item.
The graphs above show just how quickly the weight came on from pretty much just stopping my cycling completely. I stopped because work got extremely busy and was sleep deprived and to tired to ride even for 1 hour. I work a swing shift so I’m pretty much sleep deprived on most days.
Bottom line, if we need to loose fat/weight, we need to go into a caloric deficit. Basically stop eating so much and burn more calories.
