Poll: Are you FAT?

[LongCoolMother]

size 28 for dress clothes, but i wear 30 for daily clothing. 5"7 125 lbs.

 

[Storm]

Nope 31" waist but I wear 32"s. 5'9 145 I'd say.

 

[Squisher]

Corpulent.

 

[DanTMWTMP]

5'8'', 170ish lbs

GOAL: 155~160ish...

that damned freshmen15 of 2-3 yrs ago screwed me over ..

i used to be a bit over 180...got it back down to 170 yay

 

[TechnoKid]

5'10" 143lbs I guess I'm kinda on the lean side, eh?

 

[bcterps]

NTFS here.

 

[imported_Tomato]

No, but I could be more toned. Some of the "skinn" people I've known have been the most unhealthiest, by far.

 

[Dudd]

5'10", 200, 34-36 inch waist (depends on the pants). Doc wants me to get down to around 170.

 

[Maetryx]

225lbs. If only I was 6'5". Unfortunately it's the other way around. 5'6". I've always been overweight. Even in grade school (1970s). My only silver lining is that I have been as high as 230lbs, so I'm technically not at my fattest. My pants are 38" waist, 30" legs. Doh!

I've been mentally preparing myself for a change in diet. My father has done awesome on the Atkins Diet, which he pretty much adheres to constantly now. But beyond a diet change, I really need to discover a physical activity that I enjoy. I'm pretty much a computer/TV/reading dude. None of my prefered activity involve motion. :brokenheart:

I've thought of taking up paintball.

Anyone else ever notice that losing weight COSTS money?

Not necessarily.

Eat better; I get good food CHEAPER from Trader Joe's than regular food at the supermarket.
Running costs no money.
There are tons of exercises you can do without equipment.
And willpower is completely free.

are you actually overweight? it sounds like you are quite tall and slender -- be sure you don't carry it to extremes

I'm 5'10" tall, with a 31" waist and I weight under 125 pounds. I'm 19 btw.

:camera:?

(Assuming from those measurements that you are female. But then I am amazed noone figured that out.)

or a young, slender guy who will likely bulk up as he ages -- no need to be harsh

Ah, willpower. That is the crux of the problem. A diet is a mind game you play with yourself. Four distinct times in my adult life I lost weight/got in better shape.
1) Just before I got married (when I was 19) my future mother-in-law was my main source of food, and she always made healthy meals. I was working that summer doing physical work, and heck, I was 19. I got down to a pretty decent weight, although I was still above the ideal weight/height chart.
2) Back in my college days, a new couple moved into married student housing and he was into fitness. I started going to the gym to lift weights and play racquetball (badly) with him and some other friends. Eventually we graduated, and that ended that.
3) Mid nineties: separated from my wife and moved in with a cousin and had very little money and basically skipped a lot of meals. Things got better.
4) Later nineties: I was thinking of going into law enforcement. I joined a gym and got myself down to where I was 20lbs or so overweight. Changed my mind, gave up the gym because it was expensive.

I know this is boring as hell, but I wanted to write it down as a way to think about it. You know, start the mind game. So anyway, it's been about 5 years since I had an external force/ or *specific* goal motivating me to lose weight or get into better shape. I think I know what my next specific goal will be. About 6 months ago, I joined the Hazardous Materials Response Team. It is a volunteer emergency response organization. We have a lot of equipment and it can involve a lot of physical exertion. So my mind game is this: I don't want to be the anchor that slows down the team. I don't want to be the guy that takes notes and cleans up around the shop and makes coffee for the other guys that do stuff.

Anyway, I'm rambling.
