Are you overweight?

Nope, 6ft, 175lbs. But just 1 month ago i was hitting my highest weight ever at 193lbs. Red alerts went off in my head and I instantly made some life changes (and my Apple Watch has helped a ton). Started working out daily. All the weight and sluggish feelings went away instantly.

I am chubby man , weigh 82 Kg . height 5.9 .

should i consider my weight is good according to height ?
although i wanted to loose atleast 5kg down.
 
Yeah, a bit - 6'2" around 200-205 lbs, last I checked but might be a bit more now. I'm more out of shape than like, visibly fat fat, but I do have some work to do.
 
Yup. I'm 6 foot 220 LBS. Funny thing is it's mostly just a huge gut.
Anyway I just signed up at a gym for the first time and will be starting shortly when my sore knee feels better.
 
Nah, under by a bit.

Need to get back to the gym and eat right again.

I decided to go on a cycle of Accutane to knock out very mild but consistent acne and basically crippled myself for the last 6 months.
About a month off it and I'm slowly regaining strength...

But my skin is magnificent!
 
According to BMI, I'm literally obese - 6ft, 103Kg. I was pretty athletic for a while, involved in olympic weight lifting and so I've got more muscle than your average man, which makes the calculation a little off. I've always come out as overweight on the BMI, even when I was looking great.

However, this last year I REALLY let myself go. I don't exercise any more. I stress eat all the time. I look like shit. Need to make a change, but I'm so low on energy all the time that I just collapse when I get home from work. Not sure if I'm overworked or whether I've got a medical condition, because I always used to have the energy to exercise at night, even if it was just a 20 min bike ride.

Now it's getting to me, and I feel unhealthy too. I struggle to walk up stairs to my office without breathing hard, I used to just leap up there no problem (4th floor). I also have some symptoms of pre-diabetes, which is common in my family, like numbness in my toes. Checked out my fasting blood glucose and it's well within normal, but I have to make a change, just finding the energy is so difficult now.

At 1.8m and 60kg, I've always been underweight. When I was younger I felt bad about it but growing older I'm more appreciative of my body's ability to stay lean without effort.
 
No but I do have a flabby look right now over my muscles which I actually now prefer over being cut

Fuck that supermodel shit, maybe in the summer I'll cut down nahh I dig the dad bod

There we go I have a dad bod
 
Nah. I need to put on an extra 3-4 KGs and that's it. Height: 192CM - Weight: 80KG

Fuck you Americans, not going to convert that to whatever lame ass measurements you use🖕🏻
 
Yar. Comes from sitting in front of a PC for like, 12 hours a day.

I should look a lot worse given how I live, so I'm fortunate in that. Need to start jogging.
 
Not anymore. I decided to get healthy and get my life in order a few years ago. Used to weigh 135KG and I am 81KG the last 2 years. I've never felt this great in my life. Never liked exercising because I was so fat. Now I can't go without going for a run every morning.
 
Yep, not very though. Doctor said I was probably about 15 pounds overweight. I work an office job and don't have much time to exercise (I do try). When I was college age it was no big deal, I could eat three Whoppers a day and not gain a pound. Now, if I look at a slice of pizza I gain an ounce.
 
Dropped 27kg in about 1 year, 8 to go to reach my goal body weight. But I've been hitting the gym all this time so I don't look too bad.

Find someone to help, like cycle with a mate every night or this or that. Hanging around like-minded people can help you reach the goal.
 
I've put on some weight and it's enough to make me do something about it.

After I got into a car accident more than a decade ago I went from 140lbs to 230lbs fairly quickly. After years of that I had said no more and went from 230 to 175. I'm not a tall guy and that amount made a huge difference. I've slowly started to creep back up the past year with wild fluctuations from an average of 180 to 170 to a high of 199. Currently in 191 and will be cutting sweets and get back to my fasting routine. Then once I balance out diet and fasting I'll hit the gym more often again.
 
I'm 220lbs and 6'2 tall..... I should lose pounds but I love potato chips and don't feel like going through the extra Hassel of useless diets. I can drop the soft drinks and all that sweet stuff, but I can't drop the chips. I'll stick to an hour exercise from now on.
 
I'm under weight, which makes me look a little older than I am (Slightly gaunt face).

You can't win either way. Finding the middle balance is tough.
 
In the last year I gained a lot of weight, from 6'2" 185 pounds to 205 pounds, so I'm now overweight.

Really difficult to stay healthy due to multiple stressors and lack of home support. I technically hit 210 and have dropped back down, obviously there's some more work to do.
 
Not anymore!
I went from 87kg to 65kg in 1 year, with diet and light exercise (I'm 1.68m).
Part of me is happy (I no longer get tired just from climbing the stairs from the garage), but then I see the excess skin I have now and it's depressing (apparently the skin re-tightens itself, but it's a very slow process that can take years).
 
I am about 5"11 220 lbs. Kinda built like a linebacker who has let himself go a little bit. Just gotta hit the cardio hard, stop eating holiday garbage, weight lift, and I will be very happy to be around a solid, lean 200 lbs.

I'm Team Dad bod and i've never exercised regularly except for the past few months. I bought a Quest VR and found that even in non-exercise games i was moving around quite a bit. Then i got Beat Saber and that rythm boxing game and now i'm doing regular workout but it's actually fun
 
I motivate myself by referring my health/weight as being a classified Fat Piece of shit. I've had the blessed life to basically eat/drink whatever I want whenever I want and not turn into a grotesque blob however I'm certainly not fit/thin. I sat at 230lbs at 5'9 for nearly a decade.

Had my own reckoning with that this last year and just decided to get motivated with my health and have since changed what I eat and have a regular walking routine I do daily. I went from basically doing nothing all the time to walking around 40-50 miles every week. I've since lost 30 lbs and kept it off and my goal for 2020 is to get down to 180lbs which is totally doable.

I still call myself a fat piece of shit because I think it sounds funny and reminds me I still have work to go.
 
I'm 20 lbs overweight. Trying to cut right now actually and it's been a slow start.

In a side note, I just saw 311 live. They are all fucking ripped and jumped around stage the entire show. The lead singer is 50 years old. I googled him after the show and I guess he does the keto diet.

So yeah, I'm heavily considering starting keto lol.
