Thread: Weight Poll

Best thing to do while you're still growing are sports, generally... swimming, basketball, whatever, or light weights. You don't want to lift really heavy weights while you're on a growth spurt because putting a lot of weight on bones that are still soft and spongy at the ends where they're growing can result in injury. Light weights are OK though, and by your late teens you're usually finished growing anyway, girls earlier than guys.

Shit I don't care what weight I am. I think this world's fucked up enough on the whole weight thing. Girls of 8 are on bloody diets. I say throw the BMI away. What the fuck does a chart know?
Sorry for that outburst, but as a female I'm just sick of the whole paranoia about weight. Just be happy with your beautiful, sexy bodies. We are all amazing, skinny, fat, whatever.

BMI is for those who live sedentary lifestyles (IE non-athletes).

21.0 BMI, so healthy.

Would be good if you could put in two pieces of data into the poll so you could show number of LD's per month Vs Weight and see if the heavier or lighter you are the more or less Lucid dreams you have.

lol

It's probably irrelevant, but that is a good idea though. The problem is I can't edit the poll to add it in, and even if I could, i'd have to reset the poll, and all the data would be cancelled.

I'd say I'm a healthy weight. Right now I am 5'11" and 148 pounds. I used to be overweight though. At one point when I was about 17 I was 5'8" 240 pounds. Glad I lost all of that.

i need to get back to the gym... My cars been out of order for over a month and i dont like running outside so i need to get these extra lbs back off.

6 feet, 170lbs. I have gained some lately. A couple of weeks ago I had 156lbs.

I voted "Just Right".

But it takes a great deal of effort. Left to any carelessness and the free reign of dietary impulse, I would be grossly fat in no time at all.

Opra and I would have a great deal to talk about, and probably more than a few laughs.

So how much of a chubby are you, Leo (your weight, that is)? Just out of curiousity.

picked slightly overweight but the bmi had mercy of me (22.3)
so i suppose i should pick "healty"
( )

I'm 5'11'' and 155 lbs, to me I'm probably slightly underweight but that seems pretty fair.

I'm 6'4" and around 225lbs. From my BMI I seem to be on the border between healthy and overweight.

I'm 5ft11in, and roughly 240lbs, maybe a bit less now. According to BMI, I'm obese!
HAHAHAHAHA!!!

According to BMI, to be "healthy", I'd have to be roughly 170lbs. Heheheheheh.

I'm definitely a bit overweight, but in no way, shape or form am I obese... and to be 170lbs, with my broad build, I'd have to be anorexic. If I could get around about 95kgs (210lbs) and build up some more muscle, I'd be feeling pretty damn good.

The problem with BMI is that it doesn't compensate for build... I have a broad build, with wide shoulders, and I'm quite "big" across the chest, for my height. For some other people who are... err... more of the beanpole variety, it will say they're dangerously underweight, when in reality, they're probably healthy...

Hmmm. Maybe the BMI probably is a bit inaccurate. I have a rather large build and I probably am healthy. That's nice to know.

ive been obese all my life. i used to be almost 300 but now im 190 at age 20. so at 5 feet and 7 inches im still considerd obese. i recently got into health and learned that with all this fat comes a lot of toxins. as soon as i cleansed my body of those toxins i started to lucid dream, which led me to this site. so i think what happend to me was the toxins were poisoning my body and mind and the fat was pressing down on my lungs making it impossible to take a full breath and relax. as i keep improving my body even though im still obese, everything with lding seems to get very easy.

i'd consider myself slightly underweight on the verge the anorexia extreme (although i'm defenately not anorexic.

im about 6'1" and i 140 lbs.

i don't know why i dont gain weight though. i usually have 2 hamburgers and 2 cookies a day for lunch. sometimes 3 hamburgers. like i eat more than everyone at my table and i'm the skinniest on :/

yah i was just sick...and lost 10 pounds in a week, about 140lbs 6ft. and I eat exactly like you Casualtie...i think we invented a secret diet...some call it metabolism...but no...secret diet!

Interesting topic.

I'm actually taking at-home courses to be a personal trainer and have been a "health-nut" my whole life.

My lucidity and dream recall are always top-notch when I regularly work out, but more importantly, when I stick to this diet I follow. My diet causes your body to use fat as a fuel instead of sugars/carbs based on your dietary choices (I still eat carbs, but seperated from fat & protein and not everyday). Fat is a much superior fuel source and you noticeably feel the energy increase when your body switches to fat for fuel.

Maybe the felt energy increase naturally causes you to be more mentally focused all day and that in turn causes heightened lucidity & dream recall. I always recall more dreams with the more reality checks I do each day. Maybe being more mentally sharp from the energy increase causes me to remember to do more reality checks throughout the day.

Drinking always kills my dream recall and when I'm in fat-burning mode, I can over-ride any negative dream recall effects that smoking has.

For me though, not drinking, not smoking, staying in fat-burning mode for a few days, and always doing many reality checks each day is the best recipe for lucidity.

I consider myself a healthy weight at 118 but I wouldn't mind loosing about 3 pounds.

I'm about....5"11 and...185-186 pounds?
Maybe slightly overweight.
