150 pounds is fat?:P

Yeah, I'm overweight.

I'm 5'5 and weigh 8 stone. So I'm borderline underweight.

I'm not overweight.

It's a survival tactic. When you're lost in the desert with no food to be found, how does your body sustain itself? By moving to the fat stored in your ass. What happens if you have no fat? You die. Then your corpse gets eaten by your fatter (and therefore smarter) companions.

Because I'm incredibly lazy.

5'6 - 118 pounds.

A bit far from overweight.

a combination of large size, bone structure, muscle mass, generally sedentary life, and a devious eating disorder.

My ideal weight is around 280 lb, I have about 120 to lose right now :(

Around 5'5 or 5'6 and I weigh around 120 now, I'm far from overweight.

I use to weigh 265 pounds a year or two ago, though.

I am not overweight TC.

I've got no bones.Oborozukiyo

Send us your bones!

And no... I'm not overweight.

I just am, I used to eat to much when I was small (you know, grandma's food) and I'm still overweight. hat's kinda genetic in my family, too, hard to lose weight, easy to gain

I'm not overweight. :)I run 6 miles a day right now and am building up quickly - hope to run NYC marathon this fall.

Well for all of you who are overweight let me give you a quick tip. Back in my day my weight was 280 lb. I wanted to change but I knew it would be hard to change from one day to another. One thing that helps a lot and I mean A LOT is drinking water. Drink around 3Lts a day and you'll see some results. I went from 280 to 266 just by drinking water that got me motivated to go to the gym

Right now I'm 1.85m tall and I weight around 200-197 poundsand I look ok, I go to the gym 3-4 times a week. Due to my height I can't really lose more because I would look like I have some kind of disease. Anyways just drink water, doesn't matter if you have to stay all day in OT posting the first few pounds the ones that are easy to lose are just made of water. Drinking it will help you get rid of those and you'll see results.

It'd be easier if you were overweight. The more mass you have, the more inertia you have. Once you get up to speed, inertia kicks in and you'll be able to glide through the race with little effort.

I'm not overweight. Plus I keep active to maintain my figure.

There is no downside. Eat a donut. Now.

I'm not, I don't work out either. I just have a healthy diet :D

I drink too much beer, smoke too many cigarettes, eat too much fast food, and sit on my ass too much. After busting my ass and losing 90 pounds last year, I didn't feel much better about myself, and got less "action" than I did as an overweight individual. Sure I physically felt better, but emotionally, I did not. I'm comfortable at the weight I am even though it is probably 60 lbs too much.BrianB0422

[QUOTE="toast_burner"]

[QUOTE="Engrish_Major"] Well, I'd say that depends entirely on how much each of those stones weigh.sonicare

I could stand to lose some weight, but I'm not that bad really. Anyways I have a 40 hour a week job which keeps me from a gym. Still do some basic exercises at home though such as jogging in place, weight lifting, etc.
