Towards the higher end of the BMI range for normal (the normal range is 20-25), but still easily within. And I carry more muscle than most of my age group having bulked up in the last six months (which is where the seven pounds have gone, RJ).

So I'm no chubb.

At first, I thought the title said "Greeks." I had some brilliant answers ready, but alas, will have to go back to the drawing board...

I thought it said Greeks at first too...


anyway, I'm of pretty slight build (6'1", 145 lbs [just checked. I lost some pounds recently ****]) but a lot of people my age are about the same size (at least here in philly). I don't play Civilization at all. I tried Civ1 and Civ2 now and then for a month but deleted them after a while. I go days sometimes without posting while other times I might come on twice a day. I play a lot of bball, about an hour every day during the fall, winter, and spring.


thanks

The REAL question should be "Why Are Greeks Either Really Hairy or ... even more hairy?" yeah, that's what it should be... hmm

We will never convert to the metric system... even if our shores are invaded and we are under siege, we will fight on the beachheads and in our streets and homes and they will say it was our finest hour when we fought against the heathen metric system...

I am fairly lanky due to my height, but I'm usually fairly toned because I exercise a lot (I've let myself go a little over the last coupla weeks tho).

Now I understand why I was getting a bit flabby around the midriff - the evils of sitting in a chair for hours on end...

There I was thinking it was because I was getting older...

It's a coincidence that I'm skinny. I should be quite obese. I eat constantly and I don't eat healthily. Well, I eat so much that some of the food I eat is probably healthy.

But I'm a young and spry sixteen year old with a metabolism that means my food is in and out in about ten minutes. I consume, I dunno, three thousand calories a day, probably more. And that just means I maintain my present weight.

5'9" 128 lbs.

I can't be arsed trauling through the thread where I posted this last time - but when I was last at the gym which was two weeks ago I weighed in at 11.5 St ( 160 ish lbs ? ) and I'm 5' 11 or 6' depending on when I'm measured :s

I guess I'm pretty average, though I wouldn't consider myself as a geek. I used to be quite underweight though when I had glandular fever as I couldn't eat a thing for a few weeks; but I enjoyed putting it all back on

Boddington's is a confirmed fat bastard, he looks pear shaped and doesn't carry well. I don't believe for a second that he has turned this to muscle.

I'm 5'11" and 185 lbs. Or about 180 cm and 84 kg. So my BMI is around 26, but I'm still not terribly fat for a rugby player.

Ah, competing against fatasses with beer bellies. It's the only way a stoner can cope with any sport.
