Most of you wouldn't like to know what I'd like to weigh... I think I'm a little less than 8 stone. I'll find out tomorrow when I have my health check for work.

Weight is irrelevant....
BMI is a crude device that easily portrays a wrong message for an individual.
Percentage body fat, that's a different matter

Don't worry, I spent years deceiving myself with other measures.
Our capacity for finding the evidence to suit our beliefs is amazing
P.S. Is it really likely to be that bad? Or is it just the idea of someone using a tape measure and skin calipers to take measurement while you stand around in your shorts

Oooh. Bit jealous of that
I've got access to calipers (and the training to use them) and have had reasonable results with Skulpt for purposes of being less intimidating.
But, I'd love to have a play with the big toys too

When I lost weight for Southampton my clothes fit me differently and the scales confirmed I'd lost weight.

I think at a pure mechanical physics level losing weight has got to be a good thing (for racing)?
Carrying a stone, in weight, less for fifty miles has got to equate to a fair bit of energy no longer required?
