Got to start that diet thing again.
10 pounds less would be good.

Ugh, I know exactly what you mean. Even when I'm down to my Auschwitz/Ghandi weight I still have what looks like "love handles"... but it's really just my broad hip bones.

I'm not entirely sure what I weigh at the moment. My guess is 205-210. Which is damned close to the most I've ever weighed. But I am 6'3", and have a large build... broad shoulders, thick chest, etc. My ideal weight is around 180ish. I've been down as low as 160 looked like a Stage 4 cancer patient... and I've been up past 220 too. Oddly enough, I don't look that much different when I gain weight... being tall has it's advantages. More area to spread out all the fat, more places for it to hide!

5'10 and about 250 pounds, although working on that (the weight not the height).

Haha, I wish I could work on the height. I'm 5 and a half feet and weigh 130. The red beans and rice are worth it.

No way. I think you're perfect at your height. I like tall hunkish men over puny ones.

I'm 6'5" and, thanks to the holidays, about 230# now. However, I have a pretty big frame from which to hang the drapes so it's all good.

5'7 and 120. I'm kind of torn on what to do with my body at this point. 125 seems to be the weight that I float at if I don't eat well or exercise. My body naturally has an exaggeratedly small waist, but at 125, my legs aren't as toned as I would like, and my stomach not quite as flat. I can get myself down to 117 fairly easily with exercise, but I can't decide if I want to put in the effort to be noticeably that tiny, or if I want to eat whatever I want for the rest of the break and still be in good shape, though not as impressivealy so, when I get back to school. I realize this whole post probably seems ridiculous. Practical application: I can't decide if I want to go downstairs and have homemade chocolate chip cookies for breakfast. I think I do.

Edit with a question: Has anyone's base weight that they float at changed? I used to be naturally heavier than I am now, not by much, but without exercise, I would be around 135. In college, though, those ten pounds just disappeared. Is it an age thing? My lifestyle hasn't changed at all.

I'm the happiest with my body, that I've ever been in my life!
I'm 5'10". And since I was about 10, I've always been at least 15-20 lbs overweight(usually about 180-185). Well, **** rolls downhill. Cut to three years ago, and I was up to 215. Now, I don't really have a big frame, although people actually (did) think of me as a pretty big guy. Well, three years ago, at a family dinner, my big mouthed aunt(one of those, who blurts out anything that crosses her mind), said, "David, you're just getting too fat, and you need to do something about it!" Well, god bless her big mouth! So, I lost about 30-35, and got down to about 180. Much better, but still not where I wanted to be. But, I lived with that weight comfortably, until about last August. Relationship-wise, I'd been alone forever, and finally decided that I was tired of being alone. Well, that decision alone, allowed me to REALLY start calorie counting, and laying down some Nazi laws for myself. I only eat red meat about once a week now. I love salad anyway, and about 5 days a week, I only have a big salad for dinner. And I drink at least 2 liters of water, every afternoon.
I just woke up now, and got on the scales........151!!!!!!!!! I've not weighed 151 since probably 7th grade. Last weekend, I had the ultimate compliment of my life, when a friend said, "look at you....you're scrawny!" And while "wonderful humanitarian" would be a nicer compliment....for someone who's had a lifelong battle with weight, "scrawny" felt like victory!
I've become a clothes WHORE, in the past couple of months, finally able to buy clothes that show my body, not hide it! No more black shirts for me! My favorite shirts(that I've been scouring Goodwill's for,) are American Eagle Outfitter polo shirts, "vintage fit". They fit snug(without being too snug). And no more XL's for me...mediums, and some SMALLS fit! And in jeans, I'm wearing 29 and 30" waist. Again, hello 7th grade size!

I've made a new me, and I'm thrilled with this new chassis!
Btw, no drugs(I've heard several "lay off the cocaine" jokes), no diet pills, nada. Just a Nazi willpower, to reinvent myself.

NO idea what my float weight is anymore. Having a kid screws everything up, you have no clue what's normal anymore.

As for you, missy, 117 is too thin bordering on unhealthy, IMO. What if you focused more on weight training for health reasons/toning as opposed to cardio? Do you still lose weight with just weights?

Dude. Scrawny is not a compliment! That's like those morons who say "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels." F*ck that. You're the size of my husband now, and he's a skinny bastard. Put on about 10 pounds, I say.

I'm glad you're happy but jesus, that's thin.

I've seen 1 picture of David, and honestly, he's a hottie.

Find you a good girl, David. One of these days, I'll be motivated to lose weight and find a good guy. I get tired of being alone as well. It's been too long.

I'm not posting my current weight, because I look nowhere near what I weigh, and if I posted my height and weight, you all would think I'm Jabba the Hut.

"nothing tastes as good as skinny feels."
Dude, all I can say is, I was not getting laid by 21 and 22yo's, before. I now have no problem. I'm rollin' on about 3-4 hours of sleep today!
Let me improve your quote, "Nothing tastes as good as a 21yo pie*e of ***!"

AND, btw, let me add, my doctor has been threatening me with cholesterol meds, for the past year. Went two weeks ago.....guess what? I don't NEED EM! Cholesterol has dropped 41 points, through weight loss only. Doctor said, "whatever you're doing, keep it up!"

So, you're a nurse, is there actually something wrong, with getting too thin?

Maria, thank you so much.
Maria, I had my heart broken, yeaaarrs ago. And completely just gave up. Well, I was on vacation in August, and I just woke up one morning, and all of the sudden, I KNEW, that minute, that I was wasting my life, and that it was time to move on. The decision was that quick, like a light bulb being turned on!
I hope that you find that light bulb, as soon as you're ready!
You know....not that someone wouldn't/shouldn't/couldn't love you, just the way you are. For me, this weight loss has nothing to do with "them". F*** them! (I'm kidding). But it IS about me. Only me. Feeling better about myself.
