Are you Overweight?

(This was sugested to me by someone in my class)

It's funny how the poll goes straight from "Slightly overweight" to "Morbidly obese".

I am exactly in the middle of the ideal weight conditions for my height, age, and gender. What are the odds?

I am proudly right down my hight line.

I'm underweight for my height I think, but then I've always been a beanpole, so meh.

I weigh 120 kg... but that's only because half of my body is made of metal. :p

Seriously: I'm slightly below average weight for my height. ;)

I'll never be as skinny as I was before I had my kids, but that is because there have been some fundamental changes in my body structure. Nonetheless, the Cuba trip helped me lose some weight, and right now, I feel that I still have a little bit to lose, though I'm more interested in toning than weight loss...which would actually mean an increase in weight since muscle weighs more than fat.

I'm pretty much on target as far as weight goes.

thats what i was gonna say... i'm somewhere in-between. i weigh 220 pounds/101kg but i've always been kinda 'broad', so i think i just look kinda big :p
that said i'm only 5 ft 11 so kinda fat too
i hate my belly :(

yeah, sort answer: overweight

I am now very much in shape - go back a year or two and I most definitely wasn't. Back then I was tubby and lardy, now I'm trim and buff lol. I voted the 50 press ups thing because I expect I could (even if only just). Never tried though.

Does 'Within weight' mean something as 'Healthy weight'? Because I would be that.

I used to have a BMI of exactly 25. I was very proud of that.

Of course, I've probably lost weight since I stopped scabbing off Mommy and Daddy for food.

*wanders off to find a weighing scales*

Im slighly overweight i admit it, but hey i lost 3 stone over a year so hey im happy!! :D

morbidly obese in your face people, 240 pounds of me on a frame that ought to weigh about 170, oooh and i smoke too. no walk in coffin retirement home for me, i'm looking foreward to a quick massive coronary in my late 40s to early 60s thank you very much.

I'm still in shape. Round is a shape.

I'm going to say slightly, since Winter idleness in snow-bound Canada can lead to much reduced exercise. I should be back in the zone by early May.
