    I wonder if my comments in another thread started this one up?

    250 lbs

    I think we need a body mass index as well.

    BMI = Weight in kilograms ÷ [Height in meters]^2

    Mine is 30ish.

      Here a conversion table for lbs to kg:


      128 lbs
      GNEP is right though, we ought to have a BMI-index.

                I'm fat, I confess. Not "look at that fat guy" fat, but "he just took his shirt off, look at that gut!" fat.

                Need to lose about 30lbs.

                      Considering we have women on this forum they should be allowed to select two options :

                          My BMI is 44....oh wait, height SQUARED....
                          In that case I'm 26, and although I'm heavy boned I really do need to reduce my spare tire.
                          Unfortunatley my metabolism tends to adjust very fast to reduced fat or calorie intake, which leaves me with the unenviable choice between starvation or exercise.

                          Now, how does walking go again?

                              >300 lbs, but with a 56" chest, 20" neck, 16" arms and can bench press well over 300 lbs.

                              I'm a former defensive tackle in American style football, but as a 17 year old I was the smallest starting tackle on my high school team at 6' 1.5" and 265 lbs. The starting defensive tackle on the other side of our line was 6' 9" and 310 lbs, and he was only 16 at the time.
