I am heavy (102kg) but tall (6’4") which is still heavy for cycling but working on that. When I change the views it looks like my avatar is fluff. Is this just perception or does the look of the rider change with weight changes?
Interesting! I assumed all avatars were the same size. But now that you mention it, I noticed my avatar’s calves are kind of plump and not very well defined. I’m on the heavy side (for a cyclist) with 84kg at 5’10”. So I have the same question, will my avatar trim up as I loose weight?
Yes, the shape and size of your avatar will change based on the weight you enter.
Thanks. Bikini season is coming!
I’ve lost 10 lbs since I started entering weight in Zwift and I swear the cheeks on my avatar and sinking in a bit. I also wonder if leg muscles are getting larger too (hopefully). 
I tend to wear a black jersey, my partner said black makes you look slimmer
But, yes your avatar changes based on weight.
My Avatar makes me look muscular. I wish I was in that kind of shape! (@86 kg)
It is true - the avatar changes size with your weight.
Interestingly, I see a LOT of really skinny avatars in Zwift and very few “thick” ones. Yet on the road, I see lots of different sized people…I wonder what’s up with that.

I cant believe I searched for this question and somebody else has already asked it!! Reason I searched for it was the same as you guys, been on Zwift now for about a month and was aware that my rider looked to be carrying a bit of timber and now I have found my answer, and my cycling kit is black!!
By the way I am 6ft 4" and around 82Kg
RIDE ON!!
Al,
Your BMI is 21.9. That is not TDF thin but certainly not fluffy.
Stanley, thanks for that…compliment?!!
