strapping young lad:
lol thats one way of looking at it

what annoys me is that i went to the toby carvery today in warrington as a "last supper" with colleagues, and we all ate more or less the same amount but they dont put weight on

then i realise its not the meals that does it, its the choccy bars/crisps/pepsi i consume in between.

poo getting depressed now!

POTASH:
i know what you mean, i cant resist mars bars :cry:

Stormin:
I'm 6ft and was 9.5 stone from 17 till I hit 40. I could eat anything and my weight stayed the same. I went up to 12.5 in my early 40's. At 46 I broke my leg playing rounders, (not recomended diet procedure), went down to 9 stone and now back up to around 11 at 58. I sometimes wish I could put maybe another stone on, but hey! You don't see over weight thoroughbreds. :D

you're not over-weight, you're under-tall  :wink:

--- Quote from: "strapping young lad" ---i can see why the charts state you should be of a certain weight if you are a certain height, but if you are big boned (if such a thing exists) then if you were the weight they tell you, you would look a bit unhealthy i would think

That's how I see some troubles.

I don't want to cause any arguments with any medical experts that may be on here who are knowledgable on this paticular subject, but one of my father's mates can't float.  He just can't, and its apparantly because his bones are surprisingly dense compared to his physical mass.  As a result, he weighs more than his natural boyancy will allow, resulting in him going under.  :lol:

I personally follow a simple guideline.  If you can do most things, feel comfortable about how you look and what you can do, then you shouldn't really worry about how heavy you are.  I'm 13-13.5 stone and 5ft11inch and I'm not chubby at all.

There's also another aspect you need to remember.  Muscle weighs far more than fat does.  A Bodybuilder of equal size to a fat person, will naturally weigh heavier if they were identical apart from the fat and muscle ratios.  (why do I feel as though someone's going to correct me on this?  :shock: )
