Poll: How fat are you?

[manaman]

I guess it would fall under "skinny". At 6' and 115 lbs. (55kg) I'm probably a bit past "slim", but I wouldn't consider myself underweight. I'm perfectly healthy at my current weight, I've always been a bean pole.

Also to be nitpicky, some people object to the idea of a single "normal" weight range given the wide variation in body types. Right now my weight is entirely normal for me and in line with my previous weigh ins. My dad has a similar body type and height and has a visible gut at 170 lbs, which would normally be considered a "healthy" weight.

You're right about not knowing what normal is. My ideal weight. The one I want to get back to is 220lbs. Back when I was in top shape, and I am also 6'. I just have a naturally stocky dense muscular build.

This concept of what is normal is something I disliked in the military. My squadron placed you on mandatory PT if you failed your BMI check, which is the hight weight/measurement, even if you passed your body fat measurement. So I was stuck on mandatory PT pretty much the entire time I wasn't deployed. There was no way in hell I was ever going to weigh in under 190lbs, that's just crazy talk, last time I met that I was a junior in high school.

Not gonna lie, I fall into the Obese category much to my dismay. But I am working on changing that. One note I would like to put out there is I am also freakishly strong and have a lot of muscle and did sports all through out high school, so its not like I'm the fat kid who just sits and eats Cheetos all day. if I was one of those I would weigh a lot less cause of the lack of muscle.

I'm thin. I'm a few pounds underweight, but I'd love to be able to gain a few back.

 

[LarenzoAOG]

I'm pretty damn fat, but I'm also pretty active, so at least I'm an active fatty.

 

[Loop Stricken]

I'm certainly overweight, but I have fantastic legs.

 

[Shaun Hastings]

I'm a little underweight. But that's probably because I do soccer 5 times a week and I barely eat anything - I never have breakfast because I always sleep in.

 

[Wardnath]

6'2" and 103 kilograms.

You tell me.

 

[Stoplesteimer]

I would say I'm thin, 6'2" and 140 lbs. but that is due totally to my metabolism, so when it slows down I'm going to be a fatty.

 

[Ham_authority95]

Border-line chubby.

I'm starting to loss weight though, due to it being summer and everything.

 

[garfoldsomeoneelse]

I'm around 350 (last time I checked), but a lot of it has to do with dense (but hardly pronounced) muscle, a 6'6" stature, and a natural frame wide enough to mount a T34 Calliope on my shoulders. I'm overweight, and certainly not in denial about how fat I am, but I've actually got fairly normal proportions in slightly-baggy clothing.

In other words, I'm fat, but it hardly keeps me from scoring.

Obese isn't as fat as you think, everyone uses it as the peek of fatness. Like 6 foot and 220lbs is obese. Like that just sounds like chubby to me but whatever.

 

[Betancore]

My GP's been on at me for being underweight pretty much all my life. I've gained a bit since puberty but I can't maintain a 'normal' weight. 45 kg and 163 cm right now, which apparently converts to 99 pounds and 5'4. I actually went to see my GP just yesterday so this is pretty accurate.

 

[koops]

I'm a big guy with wide shoulders. i'm about 6'4" and 210 pounds. all you european types can just divide by some number to find the kilos.

 

[Agent_Nahmen_Jayden]

Well, I put chubby, 6'2" 220 lbs. sounds chubby to me, though I feel I've put a little more muscle weight than "fat" weight" on since I began lifting weights. Though it depends I suppose, maybe their is some official scale where I am technically overweight, but screw that I'm going with chubby.

 

[AvsJoe]

Overweight. I was officially obese but I have lost 50 lbs since then. Still working on bringing sexy back, but it'll take a while.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

I would say chubby as I've started to get a gut. I need to exercise but I always end up so tired after work that I don't bother.

 

[Skobvs]

I'm underweight.. by about 10 kg.. so that's prob not healthy.. (yes kilos..)
