I'm skinny and have always been.

We have a psychic on this board!

I have a lot of muscle, but I'm quite slim. A bit too slim for my friends' liking.



NB: remember when I used to always have a go at you for nowt?

My diet starts tomorrow at 8am... I'm becoming a fat bastard again! I'm 5'8 so can pull off a but of weight but I've taken it too far again.... slimming pills here I come

[Doogle]

Im too fat and im not saying that for people to go "no you arent", I actually am, and even though I've lost some fat where I've grown, I would like to be slim ideally but Im actually not that fussed

[Redway]

The reason why I'm so slim is because, yes, I eat quite healthily, but I burn off my calories from more unhealthy foods. In other words, I can eat as many chips as I want and not be fused, because I'll be at the gym for hours, getting fit and burning off all those calories the next day.

But I am a 19 year old guy???

So it's the ideal weight for me to be for my height.It also gives me a body mass index of 20.5 which is well within the 18.5 to 24.5 range of body mass that is ideal for my age, height and weight.

[Boothy]

I'm 5'8 and weigh just under 9.5 stone. I think my BMI is around 21/22.

Not that BMI is accurate, it's actually pretty ****e.

[patsylimerick]

Lose. 5'8" and hovering around 11 stone. Until I first got pregnant at 29, I never weighed more than 9 stone. When I was 21, I weighed just over 7. Was like a pull through for a rifle, a long drink of sour milk or a zip with it's tongue sticking out; all according to my father, all my life. Then I got pregnant, stopped smoking and discovered food. Some years and several pregnancies later, I can't effin shift the effin thing. So to all those youngsters feeling smug about their skinniness, enjoy it! I've been doing a lot of running lately, which is slowly starting to work - but I'm also flirting with smoking a bit again; which is so monumentally stupid, but it does suppress appetite. Bloody, frigging, effin' nature, age, hormones...........................

Put on weight.

Around three years ago, I was next to anorexic I'm sure, at the age of 15, I was just below 7 stone. I looked really ill, I then went on an extensive weight gain plan. I am now 18 and at 9 stone, normal weight for someone short like me (5'6), but I would like to put more weight on. I think 10 stone at my age would be ideal.

Makes me wonder if pregnancy has a long term effect with some people as far as metabolism etc is concerned - this is a story I've heard and seen with friends over the years - no weight issues till after baby arrives then despite all the extra exercise looking after/running around after baby etc: they can't shift the weight and it's not through eating stodge.

I'm pretty much the opposite - tend to be able to eat and drink what I like - certainly I'll come back from holiday half a stone heavier but that's lost very quickly once I'm back in my usual routine which tends to be at breakneck speed a lot of the time. If I'd had kids - I do wonder if I'd be able to lose as quickly - wonder if that would have changed how my body reacts to food.

As for the fags Pats.... come on. You quit for all those years - you've got a proven track record. (hark at me....sorry!!)

I definitely think that's the case; I've been pregnant A LOT in recent years and it gets SO much harder to stay in shape afterwards. Oh, and if you gave up the fags, Mids, you'd be singing a different tune; they REALLY speed up your metabolism. Might opt for a coffee addiction instead................

Nah... quite happy with my vice! A girl needs some dontcha know! Plus, the amount I eat currently (loads! - believe me, I'd end up like the side of a house!).

I have friends, older than me, who don't have children and they have amazing figures ladies in their twenties would be proud of, so I definately think that pregnancy does change things in terms of how easily you put on and retain weight afterwards, but I'm not sure why that is. For me though, I think I used that as an escuse for far too long. I put on huge amounts of weight in both my pregnancies because I stopped smoking through both and loved the excuse of being pregnant to eat whatever I wanted in whatever quantities I wanted. After my last pregnancy, it was so easy to take the 'what do you expect, I've got two kids' attitude because I don't think I really wanted to change my lifestyle. In the end (when my youngest was abou 13) I realised I had to stop using that excuse (actually it was after seeing a particularly unflattering photo of myself) and do something about it. I'm around 8st 3lb to 8st 6lb these days, it fluctuates a few pounds at certain times so I'm probably a bit underweight, but I don't want to put on any more in case I can't then stop it. And I know this is really shallow, but I'd rather be underweight than overweight. I do smoke as well, which does keep the weight down because I'd be more likely to have a fag break than a kitkat

Ach, your doing it all wrong Rhino.

It's 'have a cuppa, with a kit kat'....and then go have a fag to round it off!!

It works!! Honest!
