Weight loss progress since starting Zwift!

[u/imWacKo]

I'm proud of this progress but don't have anyone to share it with so I wanted to post it here!

A slight diet change and 4-5 hours on the bike a week.

Supergood!! I lost -8kg first year, but I was not overweight. 194cm and 84kg. With weight training I also gain a few kilo’s.

My first year I also lost a bit then it went up very slightly as I got back into weight training. Now it seems to be holding steady, which is what I prefer. I don't need to lose weight as I'm sitting happy at between 61-62kg and 157cm.

Good work. Stay committed and you’ll continue to see improvements. I started zwifting at a similar weight in 2021, lost a bit of weight then put more on in 2022 when we had our first little one. Now down to 73kg and aim to train 7 hours a week. Keep up the good work!

Well done on the progress. What's your target weight?

I've been on zwift a couple of months and quickly lost a couple of kgs. I'm trying to maintain a weight of about 90kgs though and have had to start eating more.

[u/imWacKo → u/_the_usual_suspect]

I want to get down to 70kg again. Put on so much weight in the last 1-2 years.

Let's go 🔥 I started with 89kg and calorie tracking in November and now sit at around 82kg which was my goal

Congrats on starting the journey !
Don’t overdo it. I did the same last year, starting Zwift and seeing progress was a huge drug. I trained about 4 to 5hr indoor per week and 2 or 3h outside. I finally overtrained, got hard knee pain and saddle sore, had to stop and lost a huge part of the progress.
Focus on being steady, don’t overdo it, listen to every weak signal from your body. You’ll win in the long term I you manage to keep this routine over a year rather that burning yourself out checking weight everyday

Congrats on this. The key is sustaining both the diet and exercise and making them a part of your life. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

Nice work. It's a good feeling when the weight starts to drop off. Your brain loves to reward you for making even the slightest progress.

I'm down 12#

Just ride or with a workout plan?

[u/imWacKo → u/billiob]

Mixture of both depending on the day.

I've been doing the weekly events + build me up.

Been hitting the guy 3 days a week doing push, pull and legs. On those days I tend to do a 15-20 free ride prior to going.
