Eww, fat...

Are you happy with your weight? Why/why not?

I dunno how much I weigh at the moment, but according to my CV I'm 81 kg/178 lbs. I admit, since I've been unemployed I've been horribly inactive and thus I've likely put on some extra weight, but it's never been too much of an issue for me.

In fact, I never realised until now, but for years, I was way too skinny. Awkward, lanky gangly kid with no pounds on him? Looks bad, man. I reckon it wasn't until about 2007 that I started putting on some healthy weight. Not muscle, tragically, but at least I wasn't a scrawny fool no more.

EDIT: After reading the original thread, fuck, I'm heavier than most of TPM from five and a half years ago. There's a scary thought for you.

[mattbcl]

Gotcha beat. I'm 6'5" / 193 cm and 226 lb /103 kg, which puts me slightly over the "overweight" line. And to address your question, I'm not always happy with my weight, but given my height, it's either well-hidden or distributed fairly evenly. I'm also a very lanky individual. Most of the time I don't think about it, but when I do, I consider that I might like to have a little less on me... for no other reason, really, than to get my BMI down below 25, which puts me at "normal weight" for someone my size. It's less about body image and more about health for me.

Of course, it doesn't help that I eat Sour Patch Kids like a demon at movie theaters. My tongue is still raw from yesterday when we went to see X-Men...

[Oslo]

I'm underweight at 6'1" and 135 pounds, which puts me in that "awkward, lanky gangly kid" category you described. I'm fine with that, to be honest. I figure my metabolism will slow as I age and that's just how it is.

In my experience, there's sort of an ugly belief in the gay community that you have to be either a twig or a muscly beast to be attractive. It's a generalization, but it's what I've noticed. As a result, while another person with my body type might perhaps feel pressure to bulk up, I don't really have to deal with that. That being said, paradigms that tell us what is/is not an acceptable body type are pretty douchey. Love the way you look and fuck everyone else.

[Magmar]

Ha! I'm 5'8 and weigh a little under 150 (usually 148), and I'm pretty thin, but i also have a full butt which while yes the gays love it, it makes buying jeans a literal pain in the ass. Why have a tiny waist (I'm a size 29", 28" at some stores) when I can't ever find jeans that my ass fits in?

It may sound like an oxymoron or something, why would anyone complain about having a nice butt and being skinny, well on that note. Whenever I find jeans that aren't falling off my waist, they're super-tight on my butt, they stretch over my crotch and the world gets a show, the zipper will undo itself now and then, and I just generally feel kind of uncomfortable. When they fit my butt nicely, there's also a belt that's on its final notch, lots of excess fabric chafing on my waist, etc.

tl;dr--I have the body to be the hipster of all hipsters and wear bitch jeans but I hate hipsters

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'm 185 cm and something like 75 kg. My mother is terrified at 'how fat I have got', I used to be underweight. I myself don't care so much. My hands are like sticks but my stomach is big. More excercise would help perhaps.

This! I'm just under 5'7'', 119 pounds (hey google, thanks for explaining what 8 and a half stone is <3). I have a tiny waist (28''ish) and ickle boobs, but a round butt. I love hipster jeans, I can't stand them if they're all up around my waist, but I also love skinny jeans. Size 8 jeans (UK) + big butt= OW. I don't have the crotch problem though. I have to get a size up to accommodate for butt, and I've got a belt that has no notches, so all is good (except for when I broke it. Bf fixed it though).

My BMI has only gone up 1 in the last 6 years. Brilliant >_>

[Lady Vulpix]

My height is 163cm, which is about 5'4". My weight... I think it's around 56 to 57 kg. That should be between 123 and 126 lbs if my converter is right. I think that's fine. I have a healthy body mass index and have no problem with my physical appearance.

[classy_cat18]

Same height as Gabi, and around 180 lbs.

I regret nothing.

[Blademaster]

I'm about 5'9" and 170 pounds.

...Yep...

[shazza]

I was overweight until the end of 2007. 5'8" and about 90kg/198lb I started going on walks/jogs and eating about 1200 calories a day with no weight training. My lowest was in September 2008 where I reached a low of 64kg/141lb.

I fluctuated around 69kg-72kg for a couple of years and still continued exercised. Properly took up building muscle September of last year and got to a peak of 83kg in March. A lot is muscle, but a substantial amount was fat which was a bit frightening. Have since been cutting, eating 1800 calories a day, yet still doing weights 3 times a week and cardio/HIIT on my non-weights days. It's increasingly difficult though with the winter here and a 40 hour a week job. But I'm down to 78kg now, still have retained my strength, and can see in the mirror I've lost fat.

Aim is to get down to low 70's and see how I go from there. :)

[Katie]

I have gained 8lbs since '05 according to that old thread :( (118 now) it's okay though, I've started jogging in the mornings with my new pup. I will be back down soon enough.

[RedStarWarrior]

I weight 180lbs, down from 280lbs a year ago.

Scotty Too Hotty reporting for duty.

[Blademaster]

How'd you do it, RedStar? I'm curious how people pull off (so to speak) numbers like that.

[The Blue Avenger]

I'm 6'0" and 165 pounds. Everyone tells me I'm too skinny, but at the same time I need to tone myself too.

[Asilynne]

I've gained weight since 05 definately, I've actually gotten to be a normal weight in the past year. For the longest time I was underweight at 115-120lbs andI am now at the weight I should be at 145lbs (I'm 5'8"). Along with this weight I went up a cup size and I now have a butt :>

I do need to actually work out though so I don't lose my muscle, and so I don't get winded when I play soccer. Because ever since gaining weight I get winded more easily (probably due to the fact that I now have a job where I'm sitting a lot. x.x)

[Blademaster]

Prove it!

Fuck that noise. I'm 6'0 and 140 lbs, built for speed and nothing else. I'm also slightly more tone than the average person-and my metabolism will never slow down. Ever. I'm a beeeeeeast!

I'm always being told I'm underweight but I have a stupid big butt (comparatively) that sits high -.- hence why I wear 32W/34L Jeans, which is like Popular size # fucking 1 to have in skinny format, but not in Relaxed/Regular, which I wear :/

Errr i say fuck that noise to about being classified as Underweight. You have the same mindset I do about it, Ossy :p

[Jeff]

I'm kinda skinny, but somewhat flabby. I'm a mix of fat and not fat.

I weight about 165 and am about 5'7''

I don't go around taking pictures of just my butt and boobs ok!

But here is my haircut ;D

It'd be for their own good, fat bastards can't catch me :O

[RedStarWarrior]

How'd you do it, RedStar? I'm curious how people pull off (so to speak) numbers like that.
I did Weight Watchers. Nothing official, I just found the info for free online and followed it. It actually works.

I demand pictures of just butt and boobs! I order you as the mod of Misc.

[Blademaster]

No. Not OK. Do as the public demands. You live in a democracy.

[Crystal Mew]

We just bought a treadmill, so I have been using that ^_^

even though I'm not "fat" ... but if I lost 5 vanity pounds, that would be cool

wow, I was so dumb back then.

anyways, I'm about 5'7 and weigh like 128 now, I want my stomach a little bit more toned then it is!

[Telume]

5'7" weighing in at 150 or so but, I'm sure I've gained a little weight. I really don't gain much since I tend to walk a lot.

[Pichu Luver]

I'm 5'8 and currently wiegh about 117lbs. I'm not happy with my weight because I'm underweight, and I've lost all my muscle tone. ¬¬' Back in January my steady weight was 170lbs to put the ridiculousness in perspective. Suffice to say I got very sick in December/January and due to complications from surgery, I am still trying to get better.

[Drago]

So where you at now, bitches? Still 6'0" and at 80kg (176 pounds), but I play basketball and go to the gym now. It wasn't until I saw photos of '10/'11 era Drago, but fuck I was fatter than I thought. :(

Now I eat better and actually do shit. I drink a lot more though, so it's a dangerous balance.

[Magmar]

Woot, same weight as I was pre-relationship it seems! Bam!
No longer have problems finding jeans though, thanks to adding proper fitness to the mix. Amazing what not being lazy can fix. LOL

[Asilynne]

Now I'm 160, thank you age 30 metabolism :P

But I'm working on it, this is my year to get strong again!

[Oslo]

~145 lbs, up 10 from 2011. Fortunately, it all went to my butt. Instead of being scrawny and assless, I'm scrawny and have a partial ass. Progress.

[BTPoke]

6'2" and at 200 pounds, so fairly average I guess considering I don't exercise at all :v

[Blademaster]

5'11" and somewhere near 190.

I feel great shame.

[Drago]

Sports, bro. Sports!

[Dark-San]

Hmm I am currently standing at 174cm, weighing around around 69 kilo. Had this weight for 3 years in a row, owing to a regiment of weekly Muay Thai, jogging and cycling.

The lightest I was at was 55 kilos when I was doing shift work 5 years ago. So yeah, there is a price to pay if you want to maintain a toned up body.

[Katie]

I have gained 8lbs since '05 according to that old thread :( (118 now) it's okay though, I've started jogging in the mornings with my new pup. I will be back down soon enough.

This prediction turned out incredibly false.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I have never got a single orthodox pushup during my entire life.

[DarkestLight]

O.O Interesting. I'm now at 160, because of all the muscle I had to gain from doing Insanity workouts-and the high intake of food I need.

Still built for speed. Still slim, but an athletic slim. Still with the same jeans, well now its a bit harder cause 32w works to hover over my butt, but 31's are severly too tight in both waist and groin region. 31.6 needs to exist, I think that would be perfect. So I just manage with no belt. Still too hard to find jeans. But all my medium shirts fit..better? Iz weird.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Send me your measurements, maybe my mum might make something for you. Paypal, say, 200$. Expensive Finnish design eh?

I'm 5`11 and weigh 206. Woah..

Hell yeah bro. You're built for speed, I'm built for power. Between us, we rule the world.

One thing I find difficult to cut out of a diet is rice.

.... Especially since A LOT of Latino cuisine is based around rice.

Neither a single orthodox pull-up. When I wrote that message I didn't know what 'leuanveto' is in English.
