I don't have a scale here... yet... and I'm not planning on getting one in April... so, I don't care for weight.
I care for getting home faster than I do currently.
The goal is to make most of the trip from home to work and back using the bicycle's highest gear.
Of course, this varies with wind strength, rain and my own tiredness (either from lack of sleep or just too much work) and with other users of the bike path.
Right now, of the 8 gears available, I'm can comfortably go through the whole path on the 4th gear.
April is Easter month, so I'll have a bit of a break with lots of food... that'll be fun!
I think that, for one month, it's enough of a goal to make it on 5th gear.
Today, as I was returning home, I did it on 6th, mostly... but I had the wind on my back, which is rare, here.
I use the phone app Runkeeper to keep track of most of my rides ("most" because I sometimes forget to hit the start button...).
It feels nice to see it on those days when I take just about 15 minutes for the whole path, while there are the other days when I take 25 minutes...
This is my best, at the moment:
