Im just wondering, how all of us here weighs? I weigh 147 lbs, stands just 5'5" tall & our company's dietitian said Im obese. Well, Im not complaining abt. her finding abt. my weight. Its just that I feel that my body is not that overweight although sometimes when I walk in stairways, I feel tired. I think I need some exercise, the only problem is everytime Im planning to jog, something's impt. is coming up & the plan is ruined. Better not think of exercising anymore, I'll just eat a well-balanced diet, maybe eat lots of green veggies, and cut-out on rice meal. Do you think it's enough?

You need cardio to build up your stamina for stairs and such. I have the same problem. Being 30% over your "ideal" weight is considered obese. I don't want to be my ideal weight, I'd be too skinny...*shudder* I'm 5'7" and supposed to weigh in at 140. That's too thin for my build. I think it all boils down to what is good on you and how healthy you feel.

I'm 6'0 175 pounds. My ideal weight is something like 168-180.

Hell look at Sammo Hung. I am 5'8 and 148 lbs and I can only do like half the stunts he can.

But he was in Peking Opera since age 8.

Everybodys different, it depends what you eat and how you exercise, i think my so called ideal weight would be 147 but i boxed at 156 and was as lean as ****, i couldn't really go any lower i'm currently 176, trying to get down to about 165, i;ve been walking around at about 180ish for the last 8 months or so but i do plenty of cardio and weight training too so alot of my weight is muscle. my mrs was ill a few years ago and dropped to 136, her best weight is about 142 - 147, she looked ill as **** far too thin, shes 5' 8ish.
It all depends on your body type, you could be 5'7 and weigh 150 and look podgy, and the next person could look as skinny as anything at the same weight

At your height your ideal weight is like 125-130.

**** man i'd look dead, i havn't been that since i was about 15 and i was a right skinny little ****a!!!

Return of the living dead part 4 :)

Those Height & Weight charts are complete ****ing bull****. Body fat % is a better determinant of fitness.

People like Mike Tyson or Evander Holyfield are considered obese by those charts.

The mirror is a pretty good indication too, if you look good then you look good :D unless your looking in one of those mad ****ed up funfair mirrors!!

It depends on body type really. I got the upper body of a Middleweight. But I only stand at 5'8.

Exacly. Whether you can get laid or not is usually a good indicator also.
:rolleyes:

Anyone can get laid if they've got the cash spare :) but i'm assuming you mean with decent ladies

Correct. I should have been more clear.

I also think that anyone can get laid even if they are fat and ugly. They will just have to **** someone who is fat and ugly too. There really is no excuse for not being able to get laid.

LMAO so true, so thats why all the fat chicks sniff round me :cool:

how abt. those sumo wrestlers, are they fit? they must have weighed at around 300-400 lbs?

that ideal weight is bull, at my height for a large build my highest ideal weight is 170 pounds. im no where close,ill admit im a littlle fat 16% body fat but unless I get really sick and dont eat for a year I will not get to 170. Last time I was 170 i was 14 or 15 5'4 or 6 and really skinny.

i'm under my ideal weight...5'8" and 106 pounds...kinda skinny
