Also...I have found that Zwift's algorithms for speed and power are not built for people over 200 pounds. I used my regular weight and the bike on zwift was moving very slow even when putting out decent power. I ended up lowering my weight in Zwift because I was getting very frustrated with trying to ride with that setup. I am not riding in any competitive events...only riding by myself on the Zwift programs. If I ever get to the point where I want to ride and of the competitive rides I would set my weight back up. But I found that the program set up for my accurate weight just killed my motivation.
