Thread: Weight Poll

I'm considered underweight for my height and gender. 5'10" and 130 lbs.

Healthy weight. 6 feet and 154 lbs.

I am at a healthy weight too. 5'4'' and 120lbs.

Im around 140 lbs at 5' 11"... What would that be considered?

6ft< with >140lbs is slightly underweight...
Weightlifting does nothing for me.

Heh, in terms of things that interest you, or literally?

Here all, use your BMI to figure out what&#39;s "healthy" or not.

You can use it as a guide, but keep in mind that it assumes you have an average build (if you&#39;re a weightlifter you may come across as being overweight due to muscle mass, but still be healthy)

5&#39;11" 170 lbs. I do martial arts from time to time to stay in shape, as well as working out with weights or running. A fit body helps with a fit mind.

I don&#39;t know. And I don&#39;t care either&#33; That is to say, I&#39;m pretty sure of not being morbidly obese or fanatically underweight, so, I don&#39;t mind.

&#39;cording to the BMI, I need to be 8 foot tall

I&#39;m overweight, but I am walking at least five miles a day (if not more...last week I did ten) at one time so that I can loose some of it. I love myself, but I know I could be happier if I were a lot slimmer...Within a year, I&#39;d like to loose at least 30 pounds.

I&#39;m about 5&#39;10 and 185 pounds. According to the BMI that makes me overwieght, although I consider myself to be &#39;well built&#39;, so I ignore the stupid thing. (forgive me if that makes me sound a little narcissistic)

6&#39;2 185-190 lbs

I lift on a regular basis at college, stronger than the average person my size, so yeah... that test is bogus for some. I still can&#39;t bench my own wieght (free weight, not the machine) 10-8-6 but I am starting to get pretty close.

The real one is where they put you under water, though I don&#39;t know how that works.

That has to do with the boyancy of fat compared to muscle I think. Either the way fat is displaced in water or how fat floats leaving the weight measured while you&#39;re submerged in water only take into account the weight of your your bones, muscles, skin etc.

Something like that. Either way process to have that done, from what I understand, is expensive.

I&#39;m not sure what I am. I&#39;m 120 lbs and 5&#39;9".

I have no muscles. I never weightlift because I&#39;m still growing.

Damn, benman - you&#39;re definitely underweight. Go grab a burger or somethin, buddy&#33;

That&#39;s the ideal time to start lifting (if you have any interest in it). I&#39;m assuming you&#39;re in your teens and that&#39;s when you&#39;re body is in it&#39;s growing stage, building muscle and bone tissue. If you were to lift (even just light weights) you&#39;d be helping your body out and getting some nice shape and composition and improve your overal posture.

And because you likely have very low body fat, you stand a very good chance of ending up with a well defined body (somewhat like below)

rather than something like this

I&#39;m underweight. I&#39;m 5&#39;1 or 2 and weight about 90 lbs. I&#39;m young too but I weight train a little. It feels so good after a sluggish day...

I said that I was slightly overweight. I&#39;m not fat, but my 6-pack is hiding and I&#39;m hoping to eventually coax it out.

I&#39;m about 5&#39;11 and last time I checked I was 218lbs. I have a larger body structure, though, and a lot of muscle mass is located on my back and shoulders, and in my legs from swimming (ergo, I&#39;m a hard person to throw in Judo).

I&#39;ve been trying hard this week to start eating more fruits and vegetables and stay away from coffee (mochas) and other sugary foods and drinks. Unfortunately, it&#39;s kind of the time for birthdays around here... stupid cake.... (I love you.)

I picked slightly overweight - I&#39;m 87 kgs for 178 centimeters(that&#39;s 190 pounds and 5&#39;11" for those who don&#39;t know the metric system). I&#39;m concentrating on exercise, though, so I&#39;m planning to become fitter.

I thought I was slightly underweight, 5&#39;10" and about 135 pounds, but according to the BMI I&#39;m just on the low end of healthy weight. I do lift, and it&#39;s true, I never had much body fat so it was relatively easy for me to get definition. A little while ago I could bench more than my own weight, but I&#39;ve been slacking since it&#39;s summertime and hot.

I&#39;m something like 170cm and weight 60kg... that&#39;s 20BMP, which is close to underweight (18BMP) ?&#33;?

I&#39;m a weakling but manage to liftmyself (haven&#39;t tried to lift and outside body)... you know, standing on two hands upsidedown. Though can hardly hold for more than a few secs (40 was max I think..)
Mean to be able to do pushups upsidedown (basically walk on hands..)
Thing is, my bones are paper-thin

I&#39;m 0.1 under the BMI for normal weight&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; I guess that makes me underweight........... don&#39;t think I don&#39;t tryto get heavier, I eat loads & loads, my metabolism is keeping it down. But I like my metabolism, it is my friend... it&#39;s better than having not enough&#33; -Stoat

I don&#39;t think that makes you underweight. I mean, what&#39;s .1 BMI? it&#39;s like saying that if you do something in 1 minute 1 second, when the average is 1 minute, you are below average.

BMI is body mass index. It measure what is the healthy weight for your height is (healthiest is 20). So... he is a 19.9 BMI... so he is barely underweight. If he were to gain like half a pound he would be normal.
