What I want to say, stay like you are, this is a perfect weight, don't loose more then you will loose your strength.

Good luck

yes,this is the prob-after that original post i went down to 46kg and did lose my strength,things took a bad turn!!!!and from being strongish on the bike i became weakend.very frustrating,ive regained some self esteem and am now moving forward,i have lost bike strength for sure,but the experience has been a cautionary tale.DONT DO IT!ive still won some races this year,but i know my end of season will be more fruitful if i really get my act together now!your postings have been great-shows that being so thin is plain WRONG,facts and figures support this=added proof im doing the right thing!!!xx
