yr weight
 
How concerned are you about yr weight? i have gained a little weight lately and its really starting to play on my mind, dont think its gonna turn me onto "manorexia" but its bugging me.
i'm just wondering do many of you people worry about your waistlines?

Tokolosh 08.28.2006 06:29 AM

Yes, I do care.
That's why I keep fit. Tennis, swimming, long walks and lot's of sex.
There's no way I'll land up with a beer belly 'cause I hardly drink, and if I do, it's normally strong drinks.

porkmarras 08.28.2006 06:34 AM

I find that if i drink i gain weight very easily but if i don't i'll lose it rapidly.I don't eat all that much so i blame it on the booze.As far as being concerned about it,yes,i worry sometimes.

Pookie 08.28.2006 06:38 AM

I've almost always been a fat-arse so I don't think about it.

I did used to go to the gym, but haven't been for a couple of years.

porkmarras 08.28.2006 06:38 AM

haha.

RdTv 08.28.2006 06:40 AM

Yes I care, I gained a little weight during the winter here and have been working during the summer to lose it, not really a lot to lose mainly my beer gut....those damn Czechvar's, why do they make them tasty so?

have to lose 2-3 kilos. am 51 now.

how much you gained?


i have gained about a stone, which i think is about 13lb?
its probably not a lot in the scheme of things but fuckin hell, its really wrecking my head, i cant think straight. the problem with my family is we all love eating, i get this directly from my Dad, he loves sweet things and eats them a lot. now he's not very very fat or anything, just a little overweight, but i feel i'm following in his footsteps.
its a real headwreck, makin this little fishy blue.

cryptowonderdruginvogue 08.28.2006 06:47 AM

yes, i care
i dont freak out about it though
im at 225 right now
ideal weight would be 190-200
thats the goal for this fall

i worked out all of my freshman year (2001-2002)
and then i stopped cause i felt like i could just chill
but i gained the weight back
so yeah

i started my diet 2 weeks ago
going to go work out for the first time in years in 30 minutes


woot. exciting.

jon boy 08.28.2006 06:53 AM

i care, but not as much as i used to. i watch what i eat and exercise so its not as much of an issue as before.

Toilet & Bowels 08.28.2006 10:04 AM

well i'm quite skinny but i do have a little bit of a pot belly, i started to cut out certain evilous ingredients from my diet such as hydrogenated oils and glucose-fructose syrup because they seem to do nothing but fuck you up. but that is more for my overall health rather than weight.

HaydenAsche 08.28.2006 10:06 AM

I am going to start eating better. I'm barely chubby but I am just going to stop drinking soda all together and no more fancy coffee drinks. Just black coffee and water. I'm trying to cut out carbs as well. I eat alot of stuff that is full of carbs. I'm going to try and eat less Asian food as well. I eat at the Chinese restaurant like 3-4 times a week.

Hip Priest 08.28.2006 10:16 AM

I'm happy enough with the way I am - which is very slightly above my supposed ideal weight, which is a pretty irrelevent idea anyway, but not actually overweight. I care enough that I wouldn't let myself become overweight.

nicfit 08.28.2006 10:20 AM

i did not vote,coz i care but do barely more than nothing to keep it under control.if i gain too much kilos, at least i'll eventually became a new planet (eat this,you Pluto sucker!)

gmku 08.28.2006 10:51 AM

Why the hell should I give a rat's arse. I'm freaking married. I do try to manage it, just so I don't let it get out of control and have to buy a whole new wardrobe. I'm about 10 percent over my ideal weight but I'm healthy, can still climb stairs, walk a mile without getting winded, etc., and that's all that really matters.

Alex's Trip 08.28.2006 01:05 PM

I care, I wish I could lose about 10-20 pounds. That'd be cool, but I don't really freak about it.

My mom joined 'the biggest loser' thing at work and she won $500 bucks for losing about 43 pounds in 3 months. She is really looking good, and is still on the diet and is exercising. She joined the biggest loser thing for another unit at the hospital that she works at. It'll be awesome if she wins.

DemonBox 08.28.2006 01:19 PM

I could not care any less about my weigth. Fucking luxury problems.

jon boy 08.28.2006 01:31 PM

to lose weight i say dont diet. just eat more healthy and exercise more, thats it. cut down on the booze as well.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 08.28.2006 03:27 PM

yeah I care. Im trying to gain wieght actually. Im shotting for 180 pounds. Not sure how much I am now though, around 175. A lot people get surprised by that but it's because I work but still look thin. Ive worn 32 inch waist since going into highschool.

Iain 08.28.2006 03:33 PM

Yes, but really I'm more bothered about getting more exercise to be a bit fitter. I'm the right weight for my height but my cardio vascular capacity is shit. I'm not that bothered about it but I have started playing squash. I wouldn't bother doing boring exercise though, it has to be enjoyable or I'm just not going to stick with it.

nomadicfollower 08.28.2006 03:35 PM

I don't really care. Who am I trying to impress?

yeah, my cario sucks as well. Besides walking and biking I don't get much. I should start jogging.

Iain 08.28.2006 03:42 PM

Biking must be pretty good, providing you push yourself a bit. I only really get exercise from walking (well, until I started playing squash but that was only last week) but I walk most places and walk quite fast.

And Jonboy has hit the nail on the head....a change of lifestyle is what you need I suppose.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 08.28.2006 03:50 PM

i dont smoke or anything so that helps. I also started paying attention to what I eat.

!@#$%! 08.28.2006 04:05 PM

i care about my wait only to the extent that i like to fit into my pants. it's as good a measure as any. i like to be a bit on the large size, as it keeps trouble away. seriously.

however, i do care about the quality of my food, but mainly because a) i love food and b) i'm a bit of a glutton, but a refined one. so in that vein i avoid excess sugar (unless we're talking french pastries), trans fats and processed crap, sodas & such worthless shit.

the other problem i have that relates to my weight is that i work sitting on my ass all day and i can feel sick after a long day of-- just sitting on my ass. it's not so much the weight but the wasting of muscle that bugs me. so i go for walks every day. good enough to keep the blood flowing. i might add some weight workouts in the future but i have no time right now. i spent the weekend fixing a work truck-- lots of fun!

sonicl 08.28.2006 04:20 PM

I have no idea what I weigh. I haven't weighed myself for over three years. My trousers keep getting tighter though, so I guess I need to exercise more.

jon boy 08.28.2006 04:24 PM

the main exercise i get is walking, a lot of walking. its really good for you plus you get to see nice things. i dont eat any pre packaged foods or take aways and i cut my drinking down to a few times a week. i also exercise to a sort of regime, but i stick to it and have done for years.

atari 2600 08.28.2006 04:29 PM

I have a beer gut & it bothers me because I am a vain individual. It's the only weight I have on my body other than I've got some love handles starting to form that I consider to be very unsightly. It doesn't bother me enough though to make me do anything different though. When I've fretted over it to others they tell me not to worry because I do not look like a fat person. Thing is, I've always maintained an ideal weight until a few years ago. I guess age slows your metabolism down. I should probably go to the health food store for a supplement. I used to be really active. I went out every night. I used to play a lot more tennis & soccer. Being a longtime smoker has limited how much physical activity I do now, but I still walk a lot, whenever possible actually. As God as my witness, I will never have a double chin though, that I can assure myself & everyone else.

schizophrenicroom 08.28.2006 04:43 PM

i worry about it a lot.

i'm ok with my upper legs. they're muscular from running and gymnastics, but still, i'm not in top form. everything else i really don't like. i'm an... eleven in jeans. i hate getting that "oh, you're so curvy!" shit. i was 14/16 at like, age eight because my hips decided that one would rest on one side of the world, and the other on the other side.

Yeah, ditto. I know I have a gut. Its not huge, but I don't really feel comfortable with people seeing it, either. I'm attempted "dieting", which is basically just cutting down on snacking, portion control, and substituting beverages with water. My weight doesn't go down at all. I'm about 5'3 and weigh 130 lbs. It seems like a lot, but I can fit into youth large t-shirts well and wear size 4 pants. My arms are pretty skinny. People tell me I'm thin but of course, I think I'm fat. One day I'll think I'm looking good and the next I'll think I look like a cow.

static-harmony 08.28.2006 06:04 PM

I don't eat right, so I am skinny as hell I only weight 120 lbs, I need to start eating right and healthy too.

qprogeny79 08.28.2006 06:10 PM

wow, i have the opposite problem that everyone else has. i'm fairly significantly underweight . . . 5'8" and approx. 130#. i think in theory i'm supposed to be 10-15 pounds heavier to be at my ideal weight . . . although i would imagine some of that is supposed to come from muscle (i've never worked out). i've actually lost about 10 pounds in the past two years so that's supposedly cause for concern. then again, i have a friend who weighs about as much as i do and is 6' tall . . . so it could be worse.

luxinterior 08.28.2006 06:11 PM

I just visited the doctor before leaving for college...I'm my normal height (something like 5'5 I think), 117 lbs (I dropped about 8 lbs over the summer somehow), and I wear a size 6 pants, and though they are a bit loose now, I still wouldn't want to try to fit into a size 4. I am content with my body type, but I've been wearing what appear to be training bras since I was 12. Seriously, I have to go into Wal-Mart or JCPenney, head to the little girls section, look for the bras that are advertised with 9-year-old girls pictured on the packaging, and buy those. It's lame, but then again, I would probably look like some kind of mutant if they were any bigger.

finding nobody 08.28.2006 06:19 PM

I do care. I don't stress over it.. I'm probably about 5-10 pounds over weight

That's my problem too. I try to gain a little wait sometimes, but I have a fear that when I get older it'll reverse it on me and I'll wish I'd just left it alone. I'm 5'8 and stay around 130 pretty consistantly. I'm more concerned about muscle, which I don't have nearly enough of.

k-krack 08.28.2006 07:38 PM

I care a little bit. I figure I'm a bit chubby, but it doesn't seem so, i wear small t-shirts and don't jutt out in places, ie; stomach/chest. I do eat too much though...

Ripchord 08.28.2006 09:02 PM

Yes, i care. It's hard because i'm only 5'4" so it's kind of compacted (not as bad as my 5'0" sister). But the doctor said i was underweight. Which gives me reason to believe she's a liar.

touch me i'm sick 08.28.2006 10:05 PM

i'm pretty skinny but tall so i weigh more than i seem

Cantankerous 08.28.2006 10:14 PM

i'm goddamn skinny, however if i was 200 lbs i wouldn't really give a flying fuck either way.

krastian 08.29.2006 12:18 AM

I have a beer belly and it pisses me off, so yeah.
