Do you find yourself overweight

HI everyone

Here's a sensitive subject: weight. Pretty much all my life I've wanted to weight 5kg or 10kg less. Nothing major, but basically constantly feeling like you need to loose weight. The older I got, the slower my metabolism (I am now the grand old age of 32).

Most women I know feel that way. I was wondering if I was alone out there, or, well, if we're all facing the same struggles with our stupid sedentary lifestyle! I just wish we lived in a world when it's OK to wear a bikinI in public without seeing your ribs. >

 

I don't know may be a little overweight...........i'm 23, 5'11" and 200lbs :-\

 

Man I couldn't even tell you how much I weight. I had this phase of everybody telling me I looked really great, and I still weighed like 100 tons. Am not kidding, I think I have platinum bones or something. Could it be my extraordinary brain? ;D

It would be great if exercise was important enough in our society that our work would set time aside for us to do it, because the last thing I want to do after spending hours at work is more chores.

 

nah I only weight like 35 kg I think about that I don't no how many pounds or what ever I its

Peace Out Callum!

 

Blimey, I nearly weigh 2x as much as you. :'( Am hoping am taller, seen as am not 12?

 

yer well i'm 12 and only 152 cms tall last time I measured

Peace Out Callum!

 

I'll give you 20 years to develop a beer belly!

 

20 years is plenty of time lol

Peace Out Callum!

 

It's also plenty of beer!

 

I'm 17, 6'00" and about 200-210lbs. But I am told I need to gain some more weight since I play football and I am an offensive linemen.

Wow, you're 6' tall at 17. Young people getting taller and taller...

 

Wow, you're 6' tall at 17. Young people getting taller and taller...

I was 6' when I was about 14-15. I haven't really grown much since, but I am not about 25 yet(when you really stop growing).
Tom

 

It feels like I've stopped growing when I was 12! I am 1m67 (no idea what that is in foot)

 

I weigh about 190 lbs, and am just under six feet.
Despite being involved in two different types of martial arts, and trying to eat healthy, I've got a bit of a paunch.

 

I'm about 5'10" last time I checked and around 146lbs. last time I checked. I run a lot so I eat a lot and don't really worry about my weight. I'm 16 in less than a month if that helps.

 

I'm 16 I'm about 5'4'' and 95 pounds

 

I'm 43kg. I feel I feel slightly under weight as I lost a lot of weight last year and didnt pick up. i'm 158cm tall (short?) I think. by the way i'm 17. oh and armadillo, I don't think your over weight!

 

I'm 32 at 5'1" and 123lbs. I take rhythmic aerobics every summer to maintain my weight. I worry all the time about my weight because I know the older you get the harder it is to lose the pounds.

For both of you, I feel like you are both under weight for your age and height.

I'm 14. 5'3'' and 103 lbs. I think I'm short HeeHee!! Miley

Yeah, but you're only 12. Before you know it, you'll be 6' something and towering over everybody.

Peace Out Callum!

 

You know exdactly how I feel. And the worst thing is that if I start doing sports again (I used to run a fair bit, and I love squash, and soccer's cool too), then I GAIN weight. Like one kilo in sometimes one day. People keep telling me: it's muscle mass...

I'm 32 at 5'1" and 123lbs. I take rhythmic aerobics every summer to maintain my weight. I worry all the time about my weight because I know the older you get the harder it is to lose the pounds.

 

It's dangerous to focus solely on weight. Looking at a scale isn'tt going to give you any indication what your bmI is. Your weight is insignificant compared to your body fat. Armadillo, you have a wonderful husband and great outlook on the world. Find a balance between being healthy and feeling good about yourself and don't worry about the rest.

Comparing yourself to the silly standards set by fashion and hollywood.....*thumbs down*. Dove has a great commercial showing this
You only have one body - don't spend your life hating it. l

 

Well my wonderful husband told me about this girl (whom I said was really gorgeous): yeah, his boyfriend likes them chubby. And she's like 1/2 my size!!! Needless to say am going to mentally torture him with that one for the next 20 years.

I just need to start doing sports again (which I like, so not an issue).

But living in Holland is a little tough too, as the average woman is rather thin, and really tall!

I love that saying, I didn't know it (you only have one body...)

 

I love the dove advertising campaign. refreshing to see "normal" people on skincare/beauty adverts for a change. i'm 5'7" and used to weigh 8st 6lb which is only just ideal for my height. ideally I should be a bit more. I was 8st 4lb before I had kids, but that 2 pounds remained after my 2nd child which is fine. my weight is now 8st 11lb but i'm 13 weeks preg, so that's no indictor of anything! my weight (unless preg) doesn't fluctuate at all regardless of what I eat and what exercise I do. it goes down when I get flu and don't eat for a wk, but that's it. i'd like to weigh about 9 stone, but it just doesn't change. I hoped that after the previous pregs i'd hold onto some of the weight (I gained 4 stone when preg with 1st baby afterall!!), but nope, it all went within about 6 months, so i've learnt to accept that I'll always be 8st 6lb without any curves and it could be worse! happiness is more important. no point being disappointed all your life over something that can't be changed. so long as you're healthy, you'll be happy.

 

I know I'm the perfect weght. I only wegh 73 pounds.

You need to be a certain rank. I think you need either 3 or 4 stars, unless Mike changed it.

Either, go to the top of the page and click on 'Profile' or after you reply to something, just reclick on the topoc and scroll down to where you posted and you can see what your rank is.
Tom

 

You're a fish bum, GypsyGirl. Am not being insulting, I mean that's your rank. I've looked next to your name on the posts you write. That's where you see it. I think if you reach 50 posts, you already get more rights.
