    over 50 chiming in with my $0.02

    I go by a combo of how my clothes fit and how I feel/perform.

    If I didn't, I'd go batty.

    Today I had the day off to take care of evil-infernal-combustion-vehicle so while waiting I hit the gym.

    Since I don't own a scale, the one in my "usual gym" doesn't work, I'm at a different location....hey...look...one of those Tanita Body Fat thingies ......

    !

    Printout says I should be on the Bigggest Looser.

    But I feel good, workouts feel good, I'm in my "thin jeans"...yes, I know by any charts I could drop 25+++ lbs and I probably will loose both lbs and inches by the AIDS ride in June.

    But I'm not sweating it; I feel good on and off the bike, that's what counts.

    Even my LBS who never talks about training or weight when he built up my wheels on the commute-mobile said something like "good for you riding off season, you know that more commute miles, off road, anaerobic workouts...you'll feel hungrier and you may gain weight but you'll be better in Spring"
