I skipped last quarter and it shows
Start: 174
Goal: 165
Getting back to 170 is pretty easy, but I seem to plateau there. If I want to get below that I'll actually have to work for it.
Rule number one of a gunfight, bring a gun. Rule number two of a gunfight, bring friends with guns.
Just a dude.
I think with the BF% in there, it's not needed. At least that's the way it appears to be working. It seems odd to me, but spits out 150 for me. Since I know 145-147 is prime it's roughly sorta close.

It would be nice if I knew what my existing body fat percentage was. Playing with that number gave me a wide variety of different goal weights.

Getting back in shape... Just need it to be a skinnier shape...

fine.
186.6 yesterday.
165 goal, for now.
real racing weight "should be" 139-142, says me, for my age and height.
Interesting that calculator. It spits out 146lbs and 13% BF if I keep the current BF at 20 (which for all I know could be wildly off or dead on). I'll say that the best racing I ever did, by far, was the one time I was able to get my weight down to 147 for awhile. I suspect I could run much better at 140 but I don't think I'll ever know.
I need some accountability so I'm in.
Start: 143.8

Oh yeah...I won't be weighing in for the first week. I will be in Death Valley. I really don't want to weigh myself at the lowest point in the US. All that empty space below sea level is filled with extra gravitys. Science. (And I won't have a scale. Or an internet connection.)

Hurry back, we'll miss you!
W1 - 193.2
Last weigh in was New Year's Eve morning so this week has holiday gluttony built into it. Next week I won't have any excuses.
Not at it at all.

2021 Goals: 50mpw 'cause there's nothing else to do
I've looked at those. I am somewhere between 14 and 20 percent by the pics. The calculator gave me 177 if I am at 20 percent, and 185 if I am at 14%. When I was in college, 155 seemed to be ideal for me. If I got down to 150, I'd feel weak. 160 and I'd feel heavy.
My goal right now is to get down to 175. I think 165 might be close to ideal now, but I am not sure that living almost 20 years over the 200 pound mark will let me get or stay there easily...
(BTW, I am about 6'3")
Same here. 42yo. Spent years around 192. In HS I think I was 153. In college a more healthy and muscular (for a runner-type) 165. I don't really remember.
Last year at 162 I felt like a machine -- kinda felt like any lower would be detrimental, but it's hard to judge unless you go there.
172 feels like a good "training weight". 182 (where I seem to gravitate when not exercising) felt very cumbersome. 175 and I start feeling it on my knees.
From the pictures it seems I'm around 13% BF at 168. Just a guess, though.
(just trying to give you a few comparative numbers/feels that you might hone in on something)
Interesting. That puts me at 12-14%. The Takita scale rarely puts me above 10%. But I think the 12% guy as more upper body definition than me so that throws it off.
It's really an estimate unless you do an immersion test. Personally I just compare against prior personal experience with little care to what the real number is.
If I could get to 14% body fat I'd feel like a stud. If I could get to 10% I'd be too sexy for my shirt. Too sexy.
I don't think my body fat's ever been that low. Even when I wore size 28 waist pants.
