Over/under weight?

**SamHarber** · Posted On: 12/28/2004 5:32pm

There have been several threads/polls in the past about how tall and how heavy people were, but they never actually addressed if they were at a good weight for their hight.

So, are you over or under weight? A lot or a little/ Or are you one of those lucky bastards with a body like Adonis*.

*I doubt you'll have a face to match.

Oh? So we are using our own objective viewpoint to define these terms you use?

I'm 6' and 175 lbs, I'd like to be 185.

I'm 5'6" and 195 I put very overweight. My goal for the year was 180, but my ultimate goal is 165ish, +/-, give or take.

Way overweight. I'm 6'2" and very large-framed . . . I know every fat guy says that, but people consistently guess my weight 100 pounds low.

Just before my hernia surgery last June, I weighed 396 on the hospital scale. I was officially a big fat sack of crap. I don't know what my weight did over the next few months, but I'm pretty sure it had to have increased--I was bedridden for ten days after the surgery, and then didn't do much physically for the next few months. In late August, when I thought I was ready to start training again and had actually done a couple of days of weight lifting and bleacher runs, I developed a wicked infection around the incision and was hospitalized for a week of bed rest (but no loss of appetite, of course) followed by a few weeks of IV's and low activity at home.

So, essentially, I worked very hard at becoming, not only a fat tub of goo, but an ever-expanding tub of goo growing faster than Wal-Mart (and containing more candy bars than Wally World, as well.) I am proud to say that I proved to be exceptionally good at this.

Since the middle of November, I've been on a low-carb diet plus walking and calisthenics. One month into the diet, I had lost 31 pounds from my pre-surgery weight (I don't know what I weighed when the diet began, so that's how I'm reckoning.) For those of you who went to public school, that means I still weigh 365 lbs. My goal at the moment is to hit 357 and stay there awhile so I can start calling myself "Magnum."

I don't really notice the weight lost (though my pants and watch are looser) but my family has noticed.

I didn't notice the weight loss until I dropped 50 or 60lbs. I am also doing the low carb diet, just be careful with high cholesterol foods. I've always tried to stay on the healthier side of the low carb diet. I drink nothing but water (150oz a day), maybe a no sodium seltzer and I keep the butter, mayo, and red meat to a once a month maximum. I know you didn't ask for or need my advice but I don't like that low carb diets have a bad wrap for being unhealthy.

I'm a shortie at 5'3" and 133 lbs. I guess that's pretty good.

While I would like to put on a little bit of weight, I'm at pretty much an ideal weight for my height and size. (6', 175, 6-7% BF).... and I've actually been called Adonis before, by an actual female! *gasp!!*

5'11'' on a good day, 200 pounds would probably like to be at 175, 180 current bodyfat about 25 to 27 percent. Used to bodybuild, got a girl, focused on school, kept eating.
