How much do you weight? And are you happy with your weight?
I weight about 67 kilograms (147 lbs.) which is a bit low for a guy who is 183cm (6'0) tall. But this is the heaviest I've been since I was like 15. When I was 15 I weighted about 68 kilos (149 lbs.) and was only about 175cm (5'9) at the time. The lowest I've weighted was 58 kilos (127 lbs.) at the age of 16-17 when I had a growth spurt that got me to 182cm(5'11). Since then I've mostly been stuck in the 60-63kgs (132-138 lbs.) area.
I can't help but notice that almost everyone I talk to seems to be trying to lose weight but me . The thing is, gaining weight is actually harder than you think. And while it's not socially acceptable to mock overweight people, reminding skinny people constantly that they're skinny seems to be more socially acceptable... if I had a euro for every time someone told me I'm thin and that I should eat more I'd be rich. And people don't seem to believe me when I tell them I'm not starving myself on purpose How much heavier would I like to be? I dunno. But if I reached 75 kilos (165 lbs.) I'd be quite satisfied, I'd say. What about you? |

Apparently my BMI is 20.0, which is "normal weight." It's only overweight once you go past 25.0. And underweight if it's under 18.5 I think.
I'm guessing you're a bit short? And it's funny how other people notice when you've gained or loss weight, even if it was only like 2 kilos. SO many times I've heard "you've gotten thinner" or "ah good to see you've gained a bit of weight lately" and I'm like "I am/did"?! |

BMI is a FAKE STATISTIC! An expensive HOAX!
For real though, it was created by some mathematician in the army like a million years ago. Even when I was boating every day and in the best shape of my life, it said I was over weight. I'm 6'2" 235 lbs now, and it tells me I'm obese lol. |

I doubt. I was never told this by fat people. In fact the few fat people around my age I've talked to about weight before told me "tbh I wish I was as light as you are". But goddamn old people think you're always too thin. |

It places me just fine, on the expected light end of normal for my height and weight. (Which I've always been fine with; never had any weight issues. I've got other issues to worry about instead.) |

I'm 5'8" and currently about 190 I think. Yes, people in Europe can does pounds for the Americans
Am I happy? Reasonably. I can probably afford to drop 20 if I really worked at it, but I've got wide shoulders and hips, so I'm never going to be naturally stick thin heh.

Kid in my year at school was 5'10" when we started (at age 11), and was 6'5" when we graduated. He basically had his huge growth spurt very early and gained about an inch every year after that.

I've literally weighed the same since I was in High School and early 20's and I've never gained weight even though I snack and eat regularly. I've never weighed more than 135-140 pounds but I am only 5'6'' so I'm fine.
Honestly baffles me how people put on so much weight so fast, I eat snacks like chips, cookies, soda, candy, etc. all the time and I never put on weight. |

I'm just a hair over six feet tall and last I checked was about 290 lbs. Sadly most of the extra weight is due to my medical issue but I've been trying to do more now that its warming up. Lack of energy is also an issue with the tumor so its difficult to find the last push to stay moving to lose the weight... I hate being overweight.

I'm still hovering around 96-97 lbs most of the time, though I lost a couple of pounds a few weeks back due to being under the waether. I tend to lose weight VERY easily if I'm sick or very active, but have trouble gaining even a pound for long. That might not be bad if I actually weighed more, but at my size, it tends to be an issue. More than a few pounds less and I start to look anorexic or something, and I'm not. I'm already super-thin with a very small-boned physique, so losing weight at all can leave me feeling kind of weak or tired. It's not as fun as people think, being so thin.
