Wow.

This is because you were told you look fatter than Tauber today, isn't it?

Well, I'm 170lbs but the only choice for me is 150-199...150lbs compared to 199lbs is quite a spread!

Also height has a lot to do with one's weight.
(EDIT: by the way, I'm 5'10")

what about the rest of the world? shouldn't there be a kilo scale? .....unless this is only for Americans...

5'9-5'10 and 145lbs.

And I don't think there is a good definition for "fat"...

I'm 5'8" and I weigh 135 lbs. Part of this is my overwhelmingly large bust, and the other part is my succulent rear and yet more is

Ah who am I kidding. I'd like to lose some weight. But I haven't the time. I'll just pretend it's muscle instead. :P

A couple of years ago I weighed 145 for a few weeks, Boshko, at 1.5" taller than Asher...

Came of eating badly and not sleeping during the finals of my 3rd year.

Nonsense, I'm fit and not lanky either.

IIRC, my BMI is somewhere around 22.5...where the optimum is 20-25.

Edit: Apparently it's ~21. Normal weight = 18.5-24.9

Agreed, Asher.

People's expectations of body mass are too high for men...

Eating more ain't the answer, it just adds more fat to you.

If I wanted to gain weight, I'd work out a lot more.

But personally I don't find the muscle-freak look attractive in the slightest, so...

I could lose a good twenty pounds? But even despite that I'm not near the point where people would think of me as chubby.

5'10"-11"ish, 165lb.

Mostly when I work out, I get cut, not bigger. Its because most of my workout involves doing repetitive lighter weights while watching TV... I guess Im lazy.

Is that that bad? Im not too familiar with whats an "acceptable" range for girls... but then again I cant figure what guys range is.. All I see here is numbers. And I'm horrible with them.

I dropped 25lb during 1 summer session. (I had no money to eat )

I couldn't be bothered converting from metric, but picked the lowest weight option. My BMI is ~18.

I am maybe just a little chubby, I'm 6'1 and 190 pounds. I used to be about 150 about three years ago. Interestingly, I find that I actually look a lot beter with a little meat on my bones. I have strange, native american-style cheekbones, that make me really gaunt and unhealthy when I am skinny. So, I have gotten *a lot* more flirtation from girls these days as "just a tad bit chubby" boy. (although I have been losing weight again since I started my new job, I may actually try to stem the ammount of weight I lose since I feel that I am just about at my best weight).

1,75 m, between 70 and 75 kg

fluctuates, to be honest...155 has been the norm in the past 6 months, but I've been as high as 180 and as low as 155 in the past 2 years.

actually, i must confess, i am no giant . Tho when i was youngster, i always hoped I'd grow up to be, what we call around here, a Hoss (someone of my fake dimensions - professional football playeresque). Didnt happen tho.


Im 6'0" 160 lbs I dunno what BMI that is, tho i do know im quite healthy and am in great shape.
