This is a great idea and always need that extra accountability boost.
I can be quite a yo-yo. Was 98kg four years ago and dropped it to 78kg (relationship breakdown- nothing better than being motivated by self loathing).
Crept back up over lockdown 1 and was 88kg last September 2020 and managed to work it down to 75kg by December 2020. Lightest I had been for a long while and really felt good and was back to doing long distances on the bike - including 170km gravel race.
However, autumn and winter has hit me hard - overworking and dark Sweden - so crept up again and at 82kg ish.
Target is 75kg
Stretch 72kg
Plan is in 10-12 weeks. Low carb diet (vegan so can be tricky) and back to calorie countinb (used “Lose It” app which previously was effective) plus high daily exercise target combination of gym, hikes and as many winter rides as possible.
Aim is for several gravel races this summer and a big bikepacking trip in northern Sweden.
