what is your height and weight? (Page 9)

5 foot 10 inches and 35 lbs. 

I can fly by my heavier friends riding uphill.  But always lose it in the downhill.  Never thought being skinny would be such a disadvantage on a downhill race.  Of course I don't really like riding downhill fast anyway.

This is too thin-LOL

Can I send over the last couple of lbs too????

Would love to wear heels but height makes it difficult????  Also have a big foot!

Who knows maybe I need taller friends.

I have a sister who is 4'11- yes same parents.  It is awk when we are out togeher.  We say my mom smoked while PG with her and it stunted her growth.

The difference is that people are proud of their snot rockets and if they are overweight (or undertall, in my case), they are not proud of that fact.

I am currently 140 (plus or minus a fluctuating pound) and am about 5'5" and am above 30% in body fat.  I would like to be between 20-25% body fat, about 5'7" and if I had both of those, I wouldn't care what my weight was.  But since that doesn't seem likely, I would like to weigh between 130-135.  Which also doesn't seem to be likely. 

You SKINNY, yeah I said it, skinny people who keep saying you could lose 10 more pounds kill me  .   If you are within 10 pounds then you are just nit picking.  BUT, if you really want to lose it around the waist then P90X core synergistics and abripper will do it....

6 feet tall and weighing in this morning at 214.

6 foot 160. Race day weight about 154.

Ok guys, raise your hand if you saw this post and clicked on the Albums button on the bottom of the page!

Ha! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I don't need any extra pounds. I have ten more than I need myself :p

So we're roughly the same height--what size shoes do you have? I am the opposite--I have small feet for my size: 7.5. I buy kids shoes a lot, which sometimes gets funny looks :D

At my wedding, all my bridesmaids were 5'3" or so...I felt like Godzilla. That's why I picked my 6'2" brother to be my maid of honor :p

Yes, but at one time in my life I was over 200 pounds and even though I am within a measly ten pounds of my goal weight, the truth is that I do have an unhealthful body fat percentage.  The weight number doesn't tell the whole story.  And I do Crossfit three times per week and s/b/r and am really hoping that by the time of my HIM in March, that I will have a better body fat percentage.  I have to hope for March since it does seem like I am going to achieve it by the end of October. 

Thought is was worth a try to push the pounds, maybe one of the skinny guys would like them????? 

I wear a size 10.5(long and skinny), more like flippers then feet, but good for swimming, i guess???? 

Yes, Godzilla is a feeling I have often-LOL  In most situations I feel like I am the best chance for a body gaurd/security  in the room! 

Maybe I should ask the BT guys if height on a women is sexy???? 

I am tall as well.....about 5' 10 1/2 ".....but I LOVE wearing heels! The higher the better!! 

10lbs, assuming you are a healthy weight isn't a big deal in the scheme of things, no...but in terms of athletic performance, esp. running, it means a lot.

My husband doesn't seem to mind :-)

re: feet size... I have heard many, many, many times "Gee, rocker, it's a good thing you don't have boobs, or you'd tip right over on those little pinhead feet." :D

10 lbs of fat lost (for me) is 5% bodyfat, that's a huge difference. 

  I don't get it ladies. I dated a woman for a year or so who was a tad shy of 6 feet, and I loved it. There's nothing more striking than a tall woman (particularly in heels), who stands straight with confidence. I thought she was beautiful (as did my friends) and I was proud to be with her.

Be proud of your height. I think it's a gift most people would love to have.

I do have the bigfoot issue (15 sneaker, 14 shoe) and it is a pain to find good shoes so I can sympathize with that issue.      

You are the same height and weight as I am but my %BF is slightly lower.  I once hit 130 after my daughter was born.  It took a lot of hard work and was very difficult to maintain.  People kept exclaiming how skinny I looked but when I saw pictures I didn't think I looked that great - thin yes - but I didn't have that healthy glow that I wanted.  I feel healthy now (140) but would like to firm up my core.  135-140 seems a healthier range for me...

I read once that it can take a long time for the mind to catch up to the body - meaning that when you are larger and lose a lot of weight - you look in the mirror and still see the weight - that bigger person.  That it can take months for your mind to catch up with what you REALLY look like.  The reverse is true too - every notice how you can think you are fine and then suddenly catch a glimpse of yourself months later and realize somewhere along the line you gained 10 pounds?  Maybe you should take some pics of yourself and then look at them objectively.  You might be a little surprised at what you see. 

What diet are you on?

5'10.5" / 201 to 205

    Time for intervention, my friend!

I'm 5 11 and 154lbs and people think im on crack or something. Thanksgiving week in 2007 i decided to go a serious diet, i was 230lbs and just got over cancer in 2006 and back surgery july 2007. i would love to get to 160 or so.

5' 11"  -175 lbs

I'm trying to work the weight down to 160    

I'm also 46,    I only seem to lose weight at this point with 9+ hours of hard training and very carefully watch everything that I eat.  Can't cut too many calories or I can lose muscle mass or not have enough energy for training.  Eat just a bit more and I gain weight.  People also tell me I look thin and do not need to lose any weight.   Just like other posters have mentioned, thin relative to what???    In reality I only need to lose weight at this point to be faster in competition.  

5'11" 170-180lbs.
