How tall/how much does everyone weigh on the board? (Ladies feel free to not answer the weight)

[Quitter]

[Ben]

Oh yeah, I'm 6'4 250lbs

[Moist Happenings]

6'0" and 250.(Working on getting that down to 200 by the summer)

6'3" 180lbs .. I might be wrong, but isn't quarter of a ton 500lbs?

[Moist Happenings]

Join the quarter of a metric ton club with me!

There's your answer, Gerbill.

[Dighn Darkbeam]

I think he meant together they would form the club.

I can just see them now, lovingly intwined in each others arms, both releasing squeals of pure exastacy as they watch the scale hit that oh so magical number.

[Moist Happenings]

Hey cool, check out my mathematical error above.

Nobody saw it, understand?

[Soulpieced]

6'2'' 180. Getting my ups back too. Stupid knee.

[peam]

6'2 about 280.

[Jolena]

Err..ah to hell with it. 5'10 and 202. But damnit I carry it well! ROAR!

heh I hate to add to the repitition but 6'3 180

[Dighn Darkbeam]

That is so very sad. I am the lightest guy in here at 163ish?

[Ben]

scratch that, i'm dumb

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

[Quitter]

No, a metric ton is 1000 kilogrammes

1 kilo = 2,2 pounds
so around 2,200 pounds

[Ansherak]

A metric ton is approximately 2200 pounds....

Anyways, 6 foot 200 pounds, give or take a holiday meal.

Shimmerain (sp?) is probably lighter. He looks all pale and sickly.


I'm like 6'2"-6'3"? It's been a long while since I've been measured. I'm about 225 lbs I think. I don't care enough to weigh myself. I just stay sexy and don't worry about the rest. :D

[Ansherak]

Thats ok Ben, you'd actually be a full 1/8th of a metric ton, thats not exactly a light weight *chuckle*

Just did a quicky google on it, a metric ton is actually 2240 pounds.

[Quitter]

it's 1000 kilogrammes, damn, stop using that fucked up system that has TOO many decimals

ton, metric, 1,000 kilograms, 2,204.623 pounds

Nope, you wouldn't destroy me. I'd beat your ass most definitly. I guess 150 sounds light but I'm like 3 percent body fat. I wouldn't be any stronger if I had 20 pounds of fat, and I'd be a hell of a lot slower.

Well... I hate to ruin my image, but I'm only 5'7ish myself. 145 pounds of solid nerd.

But I do work out daily, alternating between running and lifting weights, so I guess I don't feel too bad about being a short lightweight.

[Quitter]

3% of fat?

is that impossible or i don't recall my college knowledge of body fitness well?

[Drew2]

It is impossible. I believe males can only be healthy and reach a minimum of like 6 or 8% (not sure which). Anything lower is malnutrition.

Women is something like 12% I think.

[StrayRogue]

6' dead on and about 205 pounds (not 100% on the conversion from stone).

[Hulkein]

It's not impossible, Herschal Walker (Old Eagles RB) had 3 percent, and he was like 250 lbs, lol. I don't know if it is really 3%, I'm just saying it is low.. I wrestled during HS so cutting weight kept it off (Not that i had to cut much, lol) And now I box and have been eating a ton and lifting heavy to keep building muscle.

PS Tayre- I never brought it up, I think it's gay saying 'I COULD BEAT YOU UP' on the internet. I'm just telling you just because I'm light doesn't really mean much.

I'm not disappointed, just trying to figure out the underlying causes that affect his attitude.

Just idiots, I'm afraid.

[Jolena]

*sings loudly "Jessa's got a big ol' butt oh yeah!" a few times then runs and hides. Softly around the corner can be heard "Michi's got back.." as she snickers*

[Bestatte]

5'5.5" and 125 pounds? Okay - if you HONESTLY think that means you're a) short and b) overweight enough to feel the need to explain where all the weigh is...

Then you have a seriously unhealthy body image and should probably visit your resident psychiatrist.

My skinniest as an adult was 122 pounds, at my current 5'2.5" inches in height. And I felt lousy. I had a flat stomach, a flat ass, way too much space between my thighs, and bony elbows and shoulders. BLECH.

At 147 pounds I think I'm out of shape and need to get more exercise..but if I got down to 130 I'd be exactly where I want to be.

Then again, I think skinny women are unattractive. Thighs are supposed to be a little wobbly - helps to hold his head in place better <wink wink nudge nudge> And women with 6-pack abs are ... vomitous. Women are supposed to have some roundness to their bodies. Not as much as mine maybe..but certainly not that skin and bones shit you see on magazine covers. Who the hell would want to cuddle up with THAT at night? You'd risk those hipbones digging a hole in your spine or something. Blech blech blech.

I complain about it, but every guy I know tells me I have the nicest ass they've ever seen. So there.

And damnit, my older brother (by 7 years) used to torment me and call me "big butt" all the time... so hush, I don't need it from you too. You're just jealous. :P

[Quitter]

Next topic, will be, i'm afraid, to how long is your penis

My guess is everyone will be over 7", ahh, i feel so bad being superior and being copied

[Quitter]

NORMALY, to calculate if you're ok, you do the following

100 pounds base

every inch over 5 foot adds 5 pounds for a female, 6 for a male.

add 10% overall if you got big bones..

Works for you? works for me

[Jolena]

Aww Jessa, actually..I am jealous. I'd trade you my boobs for your butt any day. I have absolutely NO ass whatsoever..just a back and I hate it hehe. Instead god graced my upper form.. which sucks ass and I hate that too. I wish I could just take half of my upper and distribute it to my butt..then I'd be happy.

Yes, I think I'm short, because everyone else in my family is 5'10" or taller, including my mother.

Nowhere in that post did I mention that I think I'm overweight, and if you think I implied it, than you're wrong. What I said about my butt being where all the weight is... well, the truth is, I have a rather large derriere. It was a JOKE.

No, I do not have issues about my body image. Thank you for jumping down my throat and telling me to see a psychiatrist for no reason.

[Hulkein]

Nah, that's not scientific, I'm in the normal range at 150 and your method has me needing to be 166 pounds. While 166 would still be considered normal, they are ranges, not set numbers.

[Edaarin]

6'1 and 178.5 lbs

Just came back from the gym, so that weight's accurate. Heheh. I'm about 13 lbs heavier than I was at this time last year.

Amen HarmNone.. I like the gym .. Im there alot .. I dont have what you would call a washboard stomach but i do pride myself on the fact that after having 3 kids most who dont know me cant believe it. My thighs DO NOT WOBBLE < and if you need to know .. I shouldnt have to hold a head anywhere .. if im holding it there .. wouldnt that mean It doesnt want to be there in the first place :?: > I have a tight stomach i have abs that you can see .. Im to skinny i think but then again .. Im one of those people that can eat all the junk in the world and not gain a pound. I was excited to say that i weigh 135 ..LOL thats silly .. But no really i like me the way i am .. No jello wiggling no cottage cheese thighs no sagging < cough > yeah so im done with my rant now

[Edaarin]

That was disturbing.

[GSLeloo]

I have to say this... I never liked my body, I was always insecure about my weight and how I looked and I still won't say my weight, especially on here. But I do have to commend all the women that answered truthfully about their weight because that really is amazing to me. I'm not.

5'8" 180lbs. Yes, I'd like to lose 20 or so pounds, even then I'm not looking too bad.

gray, you won't get much weight by working out, you'll even lose some if you do it wrong.

[StrayRogue]

Tall skinny guys are generally good runners though. Gangly men often are the only ones able to pass SAS selection.

[Halfsilver]

No?

I'm pretty out of shape, that's why I'm working out, not necessarily to gain weight. Just need to gain a little bit of strength.

What would suggest for weight-gain, Quitter?


[Edited on 11-18-2003 by Halfsilver]

[Quitter]

marriage, food, prayers and acceptance :)

[StrayRogue]

A weight gain program for gaining those pounds can be good. Or simply eat more. Do the opposite of the Atkin's diet ;)

[Quitter]

some people are made to be thin, if you work out, you'll have definied muscles, but remain thin. That's just that

At 14 i was already weighting 180, and i wasn't that fat!

[StrayRogue]

Bruce Lee was scrawny when he was 14. That thought always makes me feel better.

[HarmNone]

A can of Boost added to each meal, and combined with exercise (correctly done), will help add those pounds you are seeking, Greys. Muscle weighs more than fat, as well; therefore, as you gain muscle and lose fat, your weight will increase. :)

HarmNone

[Edaarin]

Eat more calories than you expend. Simple as that.

Don't take that to mean eat at McDonald's every day. Cut back on 'bad' fats, and don't overdo the carbs. For you I'd just say eat bigger portions of everything. Drink one blended fruit drink, with yogurt and ice cream a day too.

Also...eat often. 3 meals a day won't cut it. Keep around something to snack on (tuna and low saturated fat pretzels are what I munch on usually).

[Quitter]

it's a factor of 2/1 if i remember right

Still, i'll bet 100$ you'll remain with your "thin" frame

Don't fight too much nature, you know, you were born like that!

[Halfsilver]

Well, I guess I can settle for defined muscles.

And to those who are trying to lose weight...you should be happy...It is so hard to gain weight. =P

for me, anyways.

thanks for the advice, guys.

Fast metabolism has nothing to do with being thin at all Quitter.

Eh, as i recall it does.

you burn faster, simply


if you need 2000 calories per day and you burn 2100, you won't get any fat.

women has slower metabolism, that's why their average is lower.

No, that doesn't work AT ALL. At my height, according to your little theory, I'd need to be 112.5 pounds. Less actually, since I'm petite-boned and not merely short. Lemme tell ya something..if I EVER got that skinny, blech. I wouldn't ever get that skinny. That's disgusting. At 122 I felt tired all the time. My doctor said he couldn't find anything wrong other than losing weight at a very fast pace, but if I went down to 120 he'd put me in the hospital and give me every test available to find out why.

Fortunately I started gaining the weight back and maintained 135 til I lost my job at the phone company and became a couch potatoe.

No, 112.5 pounds at 5'2.5" is NOT okay. Not by any stretch of the imagination.

[Quitter]

Eh, in your case it won't work, simply. In 95% of the time it will. And it's not MY little theory, i saw that in my physical education course in college

Slim is great. Skinny is not. Skinny is just as unhealthy as obese. I'm overweight, but according to my doctor, I'm still in the range of "normal" for my height and bone structure. At the upper part of normal, granted, but still normal. Age is also a factor - as you age, some of your muscle deteriorates, and your skin loses its elasticity. So you'll gain a bit here and there. If you also lose your appetite (something that happens as you get up in the years), you might even find yourself losing weight instead of gaining it. I'm not old enough for that yet, so I'm at the "heavy" stage in my life. Though at one point I weighed in at a whopping 160 pounds. That was just as unhealthy as if I weighed 112 or 115.

120 should be pretty normal for someone of my height and bone structure, but at the thin side of normal. Standards change, what is considered normal today is a far cry from what was once considered normal.

I think skinny LOOKS sickening. It LOOKS unhealthy. Just as being obese LOOKS sickening and unhealthy. And I think that people who are obsessed with their weight, whether too much or too little, have a problem with their body image.

I'll return the sentiment to you..

5'2.5" and 112lbs is not okay. It is a bad weight. I don't know where you get off thinking that being heavier is bad. Get off YOUR high horse.

[Ladyteeoncy]

I dont think age causes you to be heavy and stuff... You just have to work harder... There are 60 year olds that are in better shape then I am! Its all on how bad you want to take care of your body... as long as it is healthy and in your weight range it shouldnt really matter... I think you should stay in shape to be healthy not to be pretty. I used to just want to stay in shape to be pretty but if you think that you will be discouraged... you have to do it for yourself.

I'm 5'3 and a half inches tall, and uh, i weigh like 140.

umm when your that short 5'2 and way 112 lbs it is not a bad weight... perhaps at 5'7 112 your a bit on the light side im sure

now lets stop insulting the little girls

[Quitter]

Don't, it will end up in a pool full of mud

MAN, must i teach you everything? ;)

[Skirmisher]

Yeesh, unless a person is incredibly over or under weight it will vary from person to person.

How you carry yourself transforms a blah person into an oh my goodness kind of person quite easily.

I'm pretty tall at about 6'(not sure where all the height came from as sisters are 5'5" and 5'4" ) but my weight has fluxuated alot since finishing high school. I got so used to being able to eat anything due to growing upward that when that finally stopped I put on weight but due to remainng active I personally thought I never looked bad, just heavier than I had been before.

So final height of 6' and weight varying between the seasons at the moment of 155-160.

I said if you guys are saying it is not possible, then I'm wrong. I never took the actual test to see, so I guess I'm around 6%.

Average height of a male in America isn't 5'11, I'd guess it'd be around 5'8", 5'9"

PS. Bestatte, are you talking about women or men? That weight and height is fine for women.

[Skirmisher]

The average man is about 5'10" and the average woman is about 5'4" or so.

Average height for an American male is 5'11 and 1/4.

Okay Bestatte.. I'm a big girl.. so I am a fan of big girls.. and that they can be very beautiful too.. but why does that give you the right to talk so disdainfully of small women? My mother is 5'1.5" and she's like 120. She's small and she looks small.. that does not make her disgusting looking. You have issues with insulting others I spose over their weight and that would lead me to believe that you are insecure with your own body. I would also say that the fact that you felt the need to explain to all of us how your doc said you are obese but 'normal' for your frame etc. means that you are insecure enough to try to explain it all so noone bashes YOU for YOUR weight while you continue to degrade others for theirs. Personally..I wouldn't bash anyone for their weight. There are always going to be things involved with someone's physique that we may not be aware of such as thyroids, genetics, maybe even a disease such as bulemia etc. Who are we to judge them? Honestly.. if anyone here seems to be on a high horse it would be you. Perhaps you might want to take the advice of seeing a personal psychiatrist to heart yourself.

Body mass index isn't good. It just is NOT a good tool. Any heavyweight bodybuilder will be obese by the body mass index. The grand majority of them are not.

And I'm willing to wager that the average height of a man has a accuracy of +/- 3 inches. At least.

I hate it when everyone starts getting jumpy about weight. It all comes down to confidence, health and how you carry it IMO.

My pre-prego weight was 160 (I did let myself go a bit, I like 145 on me) and I am 5'7".

My prego weight is *cough* 195 *cough*. My thighs touch, I do have some "cottage cheese" as one person said. I have some lovely stretch marks on my belly. My boobs rock and my ass will always be fantastic.

I am rolly polly and cute as a button. I do miss my ankles though.......


Oh and by the way, my hubby is 6'2 and only 165. I like 'em lean.

[Bestatte]

First of all, 5'1" and 120 pounds sounds pretty decent to me. Healthy, not stick-skinny anorexic. Second of all, my doctor didn't say I was obese. He said I was at the high end of normal. Try reading what I write before responding to it.

My concern is that too many women, partiularly, are so obsessed with their weight that we have anorexics and obese women in high proportions in this country, and it's a national sickness caused by the media and pharmaceutical companies pushing their skinny models and diet pills down our throats.

[Jolena]

My apologies, I just reread your post and you said you are overweight not obese. For that I apologize, However, everything else I said still stands. There are plenty of reasons that people are either overweight or skinny as you put it. We are not the ones to judge that about them and you honest come across as a very insecure person when you feel the need to degrade someone else for how much they weigh. Yes I do agree, media and magazines have given general society the idea that being bone thin is the way to go. However there are just as many 'big' women out there who model and that is proof that not everyone follows the general society view of what is sexy as a weight. I think if you put the time you spend talking poorly of people who are 'skinny' and 'obese' into something else you might just find yourself surprised. I dont think any of us are perfect.

[Edited on 11-19-2003 by Jolena]

[Anebriated]

Ok, there is nothing wrong with skinny. I am extremely tall, at 6'5 it has been very hard to gain any weight. Add height with a fast metabolism and im lucky to have the 170 that i do. No i dont play basketball damnit, and yes i run cross country.

That's silly.

p.s. Who saw Lewis Black's diatribe 20 minutes ago? It was very related to this discussion.

[Jolena]

Exactly Elrodin, but in Bestattes eyes you would be sickening. *smirks* I think it's ridiculous.

[GSLeloo]

Hmm.. this isn't exactly in response to Beastette's thing but.. to be obese is actually very very bad. Overweight and obese are two different things. Obese is to the point where you are harming yourself and sometimes, as my dad says, it's just food and you have to stop yourself to save yourself. But.. like being 5'7 or 5'10 and 200 pounds, isn't bad.

[Jolena]

Actually..I am overweight.. and I'd love to lose some weight. However, I don't think it's disgusting. Nor do I think that skinny people are sickening to look at. My problem is that I don't exercise enough which is ironic considering i chase 3 kids all over most of the time. However I could also stand to change my diet. My point is this.. it's not right for anyone to degrade someone for their weight whether it be skinny or big. There very well may be reasons that that person is like he or she is and we would not have any way of knowing that.

[GSLeloo]

Overweight and Obese are different... Overweight is yeah I guess like 200 (depending on height). Obese is like 300 and you can't breathe and your heart is struggling, you're getting diabetes and going to kill yourself because you won't stop.

[Jolena]

I agree it is a health hazard. If I was that overweight I would most likely have to make some drastic changes, whether that be a change in diet adn excersize or a medical solution if need be or maybe all three.. but you aren't degrading people who are obese. That is what bothers me so much.

[Drew2]

I don't condem people for being skinny, but most guys I know prefer their women to have... substance. Not bones and skin... but some ... ahem.. cushion for... yeah.

Anyway... I just read somewhere recently that what women consider an appropriate weight is always considerably less than what men do for them. That is to say, women want to be skinnier then men really want.

So skinny is bad.

[Ilvane]

I tend to side with Bestatte on this one.. I'm in the entertainment area, as well as in health care. I started off at 221 pounds, which was way too much. Back when I was singing in New York, I was 113-120 pounds. I was sickly skinny to me. I was also eating saltine crackers and popcorn. I came back from New York and people would say, "Oh my god, you look great!" Meanwhile, I was starving myself. I went way up after some stressful things in life, a bad relationship and my dad getting sick..but I'm back on track. I actually in the last 5 months of my fathers terminal illness I lost about 25 pounds..heh. Odd, but I just lost my appetite.

I went to far the other end, granted, but now I'm right in the middle, which is much more comfortable for me. I think I'd be happy with myself at about 135-140. I'm almost there, maybe 30 pounds or so. My doctor is happy, though..so I suppose it's good. I've always exercised in some way, so I've never been sick, even if the doctor considered me really overweight..:lol:

-A

Edited to add some stuff about exercise.

[Edited on 11-19-2003 by Ilvane]

[AnticorRifling]

I used to starve myself for wrestling. No one said "You look great." It wasn't a sickness, no one wakes up and decides to be sick. I woke up and decided to cut weight to be more competative. When you're a guy that's 5'10" and weigh 135 you're very skinny. I looked like a skeleton but damnit if I didn't whoop up on the other kids at that weight :cool:

[Skirmisher]

It's always the whooping that counts Anticor.

Go whoop!

[Myshel]

I took offense to some of the statements Bessette said. My good friend is very skinny and she can't gain weight to save her life, she has tried. She is very healthy and its her metabolism, she comes from a family of skinny people. I also have a friend who is heavy, she has dieted and dieted, but can't keep the weight off. She comes from a family of heavy people. They are both attractive people who carry themselves well and look great. We are all different and we have to rejoice in our differences and accept each other no matter what our weight is. To say someone looks disgusting because of appearance is in my opinion disgusting. I myself have been on both sides, I used to get.. oh you have such a pretty face, to bad your fat.. to now, you need to gain alittle weight, skinny makes you look older. BAH... I say I feel great and I like where I'm at so stuff it.

[Bestatte]

How vain are all you people? Or how hard are you trying to hide your own inadequacies?

I have a really hideous scar on my leg. It's sickening to look at it, I recognize this fact, and I'm fine with it. I don't get all kinds of upset when people stare and make faces and whisper to their friends, "Eww that looks gross!" Because hey - it does look gross.

The same with my opinion of how I think skinny is sick and unhealthy looking, and obese is sick and unhealthy looking. It doesn't mean I think the person who's skinny or obese is a bad person, or someone I wouldn't want to be friends with.

Ylena's a good example. She's a beautiful lady. Heart of gold, sense of humor to envy, good-natured, and comfortable with herself. But yes, she's very overweight, and yes, I personally find that unattractive. Does it make me unkind to say that? Could be. I somehow doubt Ylena's player will take offense though, because she knows that I'm not such a snob that I'd consider her weight as a detriment to my opinion of her as a human being.

If YOU take offense at my opinion that skinny and obese is unattractive, then maybe YOU should take a deeper look at yourself and ask yourself why.

[Skirmisher]

I cannot speak for anyone else here Bestatte, but for me it's not so much the message you bring ( and mind me I am not saying I am in agreeance on that either) , but the manner in which it is conveyed.

Your posts at times have a tone as if you bring tidings and directives from Olympus or something. That doesn't often bode well for a warm reception.

Bestatte i think your perceptions on ideal weight are skewed by your own personal inadequacies or preferences however you look at it. So please don't try and pass it off on us. Everyone has their opinion on what looks good. Not everyone is comfortable with a layer of padding, just as some people are.

I could easily call alot of people fat or overweight based upon my own personal beliefs for what *I* should be, but i don't becuse i realize that not everyone is the same or has the same standards.

So please stop trying to pass off your personal beliefs as gospel, because i can only speak for myself when i say it gets fucking old.

So, everyone else who's said that they think skinny is unattractive, and everyone else who's taken potshots at people for being overweight in other threads..how come no one's railing against them?

In fact, why does this thread even exist? Why should anyone care how tall or short or fat or thin anyone is? Seems to me like the whole thread exists to compare, and get peoples' opinions on what they consider normal.

If people don't like my opinion on what's normal, then they can stop creating threads like this or reading them.

Don't take anything personal, it's internet, you aren't supposed to get piss from people you will never met and have any experience with though.

While I can't speak for the original poster of this thread, I do know that he works out quite a bit and there have been threads on body-building that he's participated in. It could be that he wanted to get an idea of other people's weight/height.



If people don't like my opinion on what's normal, then they can stop creating threads like this or reading them.

You have your right to an opinion. But just know that your opinion may upset other people. Maybe if you would have stated that "I don't prefer obese or super-thin people" or something like that, people wouldn't have reacted so harshly.

When one makes a blanket statement putting down a large number of people, expect people to come down on that person. Even if the people aren't, in this case, obese/super-thin - they may know someone, or care about someone who is.

[Bestatte]

Bellydancing huh? I've heard that's supposed to be awesome exercise. I have a hoola-hoop that I bought for the same purpose a few years back, maybe I should start using it again. Total body aerobic workout, zero impact. It even strengthens the muscles along your toes and your jaw. The hardest part is keeping the damned thing up, but I grew up with hoola-hoops so I was lucky to learn how to keep it from falling for awhile.

I had a friend who was awesome - she'd swing two hoops going in different directions around her waist, one around her neck, one on each wrist, and hop over another one around her ankle all at the same time.

Hm. Maybe that's what contributed to her going crazy..all that shaking around like that. Spunky little thing she was too. 4'11" and 89 pounds, skin and bones. She kinda looked like a snake-lizard with a long torso and little legs and gangly arms. She was my best friend for a decade though. I just wish she didn't go crazy. I miss her.

[PoppycockTheFool]

Yeah I own about 6 bellydance tapes ranging from aerobic workouts to simple how-to tapes. I was using at least one everyday for a good 30 minute workout. On nice days I'd walk around the block for an hour instead.

I've also convinced myself to use portion control when eating. I use to eat an eat and eat until I was overstuffed. I still eat junkfood and fast food but I regulate myself.

I now wear a size 9/10 and I'm happy with that. :rolleyes: Not to mention I joined a juggling club (go ahead and laugh) but we use all kinds of props and some of them give you a great upper body workout.

[Overlord]

Sounds good to me lol I just do regular stuff i suppose.. weights and riding my bike 30 miles a day keeps me in decent shape, though as i said before losing weight because you can't afford to eat on a daily basis severly sucked.

[Hulkein]

You ride a bike 30 miles a day?

[Skirmisher]

Thirty miles isnt an ungodly distance by any means when riding a bike.

[Bestatte]

Poppycock that's awesome! Once the snow starts to melt (it's too cold for me - bad circulation) I'm gonna get new tires for my bicycle and go riding again. And get my hoola-hoop out of the garage (though I could probably use it in the living room without breaking the furniture).

As for portion control, I'm not a very big eater. I mean, I -can- easily scarf down a whole small bacon pizza in one sitting, but I don't order them more than a few times a year.

It's lack of exercise that gets me. I wouldn't mind the 147 pounds so much if they were tighter than they are now. But I know that if I start moving more, the pounds will slide off and I'll be back to a size 11. It's funny though - no matter how thin I get, my boobs still prevent me from wearing button-down shirts.

I hate that. At 122 pounds, I was wearing a size 8 pants, and if I wanted a button-down shirt I had to wear a 14. And of course those shirts fall off my neck, the waist tucks were at my hips, and the arms had to be rolled up a few times.

That's the one bad thing about being buxom - finding *petite* clothes that fit.

Right now though I'm still doing fine in a size 13, and while I'd like to get that down to an 11 I'm not all that concerned. I've gone up and down in weight since college, so I know my metabolism will eventually kick in again and the pounds will come off anyway. Seems to happen every 4 or 5 years.

[Sweets]

I hate aerobics, kickboxing (no contact) can be fun, but I have a hard time sticking with an exercise routine. I get bored very easily.

Bellydancing sounds great! I never thought about it. What a great way to shimmy my way back into my pre-maternity clothes after the bundle arrives.

Thanks for the idea!

[Ravenstorm]

I'll have to chime in with my agreement with Bastette, at least partially. The point she was trying to make was a valid one though it took a back seat to her usual, blunt, untactful, and condescending way of putting things. Which reminds me, stop stealing my act.

The diet industry is a multi billion dollar one. They have a very strong interest in making sure Americans consider themselves fat whatever they might actually weigh. Fortunately, it seems the tide has turned a bit after the extreme 'ideal' of the 90s. Anyone else remember Kate Moss and heroin chic? That was the strung out, starving junkie about to overdose look that was so fashionable then.

Which is not to say the problem is not there any longer. How many people knew that there are web pages out there that promote anorexia and bulimia as a way of life? Support groups for people who starve and purge as a way to stay thin. Sad really.

Point conceded. I admit I would not be willing to put in that kind of time personaly but for someone with a disciplined regimen it does not seem so out of line.

[Overlord]

Yeah at first 30 miles was a bit, after i lost my car i just adopted a more regular cycling regime. 30 miles going to and from work with lunch break ride to where ever the hell i flt like eating, then on weekends probably one 40-50 mile ride. Skyline in santa clara area or kenedy in the san jose area, hell its actually nice riding up in tahoe during the summer. Worked in a bike shop for 2 years so i have some fairly exceptional equipment. Spent more money on my bikes than i have on my old cars. Gotta love hydraulic disk brakes going cross country at 30 miles an hour downhil up to 45 wh00t.

[Hulkein]

You ever whipe out at those speeds?

[Overlord]

Bwah i was wondering if someone would ask, did though. Going down kenedy on my fourth run, my rear wheel clipped a tree at roughly 38 miles an hour and suddenly i became one with the ravine below, one thing that sucks about time atac pedals... you are joined to your damn bike and usually i have no problem clicking out, but unfortunately everything was going just a shade to fast for me to respond. Resulted in a thrashed bike, broken leg and fractured arm, not to mention an obliterated helmet. My recovery time was spent building a new rear wheel and re-welding various stress points at the rear of the frame, i didn't want to spend the $1500 on a new one when i could do the work myself.

[Bestatte]

Biking is a hella lot of fun. When I was a kid (17) I rode cross-country with this group in an organization called American Trails West. We'd ride in vans to a campsite and then ride our bikes or hike up trails for the next two days. The bike-ride was usually around 30 miles, Hike usually less than 10, but it was mostly mountain climbing (no spellunking) so it was a pretty heavy duty hike.

Took two months to trail across from New York State, down the appalacians, out to Southern Arizona, up through CO and back through Wyoming and the Dakotas.

After college I continued biking around, and would often ride 10-20 miles a day just to see the sights or enjoy a relaxing day in the spring stopping at tomato stands along the country roads for lunch.

Then my back problem kicked in and I had to cut down, but I can still manage a good 4-5 miles a day when the weather's decent.

[Overlord]

Have done some rather serious biking myself, rode accross scotland rougly 300 miles from east to west coast. Not a serious distance but consider the terain i was crossing.
Hiking and biking is outstanding and i wish i could get out more to do it these days, my life at the moment currently consists of work and some college work.. with no time to spare, hell i just moved to Pleasanton and have zero friends in the area, aha well such is life when your st arting from scratch.

I was 170 lbs until I turned 20 then I gained around 80 lbs in one year. Best way to put on weight is to eat tons of meat and just hit the weights hard(+test), running is good for you but it burns off a lot of pounds if you are trying to bulk. so if you wanna get your weight up i'd just stick to eating like a pig and lifting hardcore then burning the rest of the bulk off later. When I was in highschool I was scrawny as hell and couldn't bench 150. now I can lift japanese cars 10 inches off the ground.

Dude, I don't know how many of you watch Aqua Teen Hunger Force, but they have this character named Dr. Weird, and in one episode this is the conversation:

Dr. W: Gentlemen, Behold! I.. have lost weight!
Steve: Yeah... looking.. uh.. good..
Dr. W: All sugars, gone! Manually! With this!
(holds up chainsaw and revs it up. Camera pans down to reveal that he's carved his legs to the bone)
Dr. W: I have to lose 15 more pounds or I'll never be pretty!
(chainsaw noises)

The reason I bring it up is because I juggle hatchets, and I could picture people slicing off parts of themselves and yelling out "I've lost weight! Woo!"

I dunno. I thought it was funny. ATHF is definitely funny. Go buy the DVD.

You can't fight your genes, if you are to be thin, you'll remain thin.

I have a chinese friend that eat a poutine per day (that crap must be 2400 calories alone)

he's thin as a stick.

Heh. Spelunking is something else I have not thought of, or done, in years. I used to really enjoy that when we lived in Missouri. Lots of caves there. :D

I love eating poutine, but if it's too often my jaw might get tired.

Poutine, large (mcdonald's) which is NOT large (would need around 2, or with a bigmac to be full) is 721 calories and 43 grammes of fat

HAHAHHA

Well as I said before.. and it's been said by others.. it's the way that Bestatte put her statements. She came across as condescending and rude and of course folks will take exception to it. I personally don't have issues with my body or my weight and I don't judge others for theirs. But hey, if you wish to do so, fine whatever. I am through with it.

Oh if you're looking for good bellydance tapes I recommend the Neena and Veena ones. The goddess tapes are crap in my opinion.
