How Fat Are You?

Waist-to-height ratio is .46

The less adipose tissue I have, the fewer ACE2 receptors for the coronavirus to latch onto.

I'm 5' 10". I weigh myself every morning before jumping in the show and I fluctuate between 168 and 171. I'm small boned and the extra weight is in my gut, I hate it. I need to lose at least 10 pounds.

Small boned? Girl, you’re fat.

I’m not fat! I’m merely portly.

R3, 5'10, 168 is fat??

Fat as fuck. I could cosplay as Chrissie Metz, snack purse included!

And since it's an anonymous board - 6ft, 405lbs.

5' 8", 200 lbs. BMI is 30.4 which in considered obese. I would need to lose 37 lbs to be considered normal weight according to the BMI calculator. That is about what my weight was in high school 40 years ago.

I'm about as fat as they make a bitch.

I need to lose another 48 pounds to be considered "overweight" as opposed to "obese" according to my BMI.

I'm so fat that when I sit around the house....I really sit AROUND the house!

Good one R10

I am just on the line between very fat and obese.

6'2, 240. Technically I think I qualify as obese although my height and broad shoulders help disperse the extra weight; I'm told that I "carry it well." Often when I refer to myself as fat, which I am, people respond: You're not fat! You just have a beer gut. It's true that most of the extra weight is in my gut. I've lost about 10 pounds since COVID hit (it helps to not eat takeout every day for lunch) and am down from a peak of about 300 pounds that I hit about 15 years ago.

I'm not fat, but my tum has expanded since mail-order Chex Mix entered my lockdown regimen.

I'm not fat, I'm fluffy!

I’m 6’3 220. Luckily I live in Little Rock and I’m considered thin here.

Why are you showing a picture like that OP? The reality is that people make fun of people who are only slightly overweight. It would be more accurate to show somebody with only 10 extra pounds, because those are the people who get routinely excoriated.

This will end in tears.

[Quote] Waist-to-height ratio is .46

Explain this please.

1) What's the normal range?

2) how or where do you measure your waist? Like I wear 34 in pants but that hangs below the largest circumference.

I agree with R5....[R3], 5'10, 168 is fat?? Where? Biafra?

I'm a perfect weight....if I was 8 feet tall!

I could stand to lose an ounce, but then I would die.

5’9 and 180lbs. HUGE! Fattest I’ve ever been.

Wow, two defensive declarations in the first sentence. That has to be a record.

I was 30 lbs overweight. Now I’m 15 lbs overweight. I’ve hit a plateau. I haven’t lost for 2 weeks. I keep gaining & losing the same half pound.

5'10", from 168 to 175. Natural muscle. A little gut. My ass is getting smaller with age.

I’m 80-90 lbs. overweight.

I don’t go to the gym and I’ve been on my fat ass for almost 6 months now. I think they call it a “sedentary” lifestyle. Anyway, I’m fucking fat and I’m not happy about it but not motivated enough to do anything about it either.

I would love to be a Rejoicing Fat Whore. (I also want that on a t-shirt but . . .) But I'm an avid hiker/walker, walk between 5 and 10 km almost every day. So all I can own up to is a Rejoicing Whore.

r19 A person's waist-to-height ratio (WtHR), also called waist-to-stature ratio (WSR), is defined as their waist circumference divided by their height, both measured in the same units. The WtHR is a measure of the distribution of body fat. Higher values of WtHR indicate higher risk of obesity-related cardiovascular diseases; it is correlated with abdominal obesity.

Healthy WtHR is 0.43 to 0.52 for men, 0.53 to 0.57 is the overweight range, 0.58 to 0.62 is obese, 0.63 and over is Trump-sized (I'm guessing, weird how US doctors on social media opine about subjects of which they do not specialize but won't hazard a WtHR on the Orange one)

I am ample.

I have sufficient

I'm good with my weight, but I lose 5 - 10 pounds before Thanksgiving so I can indulge over the holidays, and not have to work on losing it in January. Works for me.

I've gained a bunch of weight during the lockdown. It's making me crazy. It's at least 20lbs. My clothes wont fit when it's time to wear them again for work..

I'm a fat ass.

700 pounds, 6'3"

6'4"/58/bl/bl/193 - I've gained 3 pounds since COVID and live in Los Angeles. I feel fat anytime i go over 190.

Same as R2, 5ft 11, 180lb most in the gut, 165 is my ideal weight.

I am cery overweight, to the extent that covid terrifies me.

I’ve been overweight for at least 20 years, a little more each year. Food is my drug of choice, my way of punishing myself and my way of soothing myself. I hate my body, and my clothes. I have wonderful friends but socialising is a real trial. I’m still mobile, but I am aware that this has become borderline during lockdown. I’m a little breathless when I walk, which is a new and worrying development.

I’m trying to change again, to develop sustainable healthy habits, but it is hard to be optimistic.

I’m not sure why I’m saying all this here, but it’s what’s going on in my Head, so here it is.

Bah! Cery=very.

I'm 45 lbs overweight, but I was 105 pounds overweight about 8 years ago, until I started losing in 2017 and it's taken me that long to lose 60 lbs. Still working on it.

I’m 5’10”, 160 lbs of lean muscle. I have maintained my high school waist size of 31 inches.

My best friend blew up to a 40 inch waist in law school. Now he is great shape and runs marathons each year.

In our private conversations, we are very cruel to the weak willed fatties

[Quote] waist-to-stature ratio (WSR), is defined as their waist circumference divided by their height,

Sounds better than using weight as muscle is heavier than fat. A muscular man may therefore show as obese if one goes by BMI.

5'11, 300. And it ain't muscle.

I need to lost 50 pounds.

I could lose a few pounds.

Honest question for r44, r45, etc: how did you let yourselves get like this?

Maybe if I understood the reasons for your weight gain, I wouldn’t despise you.

Not fat. In the normal range of BMI.

5'8" and weigh 167lbs. My partner is 5'10" and weighs 190. We eat a very healthy diet, but both like beer and wine too much. All those empty calories are giving us both unwanted paunch.

My BMI is 22. Aka normal weight. What's yours?

R16, I'm a little over 6'2" and weight around 215 but there's not an ounce of fat on me. I work out pretty hard. Anyone trying to lose weight should look into intermittent fasting.

BMI doesn't account for muscle mass or bone structure.

I'm probably what would be classed as a pocket gay, height-wise. My BMI is over 30 though.

Waist to height ratio should be a more accurate assessment than BMI.

R53, that’s a big pocket....

6'3 235lbs. I am the dreaded fit-fat. I work out a lot - have a big chest and broad shoulders. But got that GUT. I also have a meaty ass and muscular haunches. It's weird - I've had more than one powerlifter at the gym tell me how luck I am to have the haunches I do.

Twinks love me. ***puke***

R56, you could easily lose that excess weight through intermittent fasting. Eat completely clean, no sugar and no alcohol, minimal to no carbs and you'd lose your gut.

5'11, 210. My clothes still fit but my jeans are definitely tighter in the thigh.

Heaviest I've ever been was 260. In my defense, I gained that after a sudden death in the family and food was my grieving.

My waist to height ratio is .62 (42/68). Still considered obese.

~R7

I'm 5'3" 110 pounds , 63 years old. If it weren't for a plant based diet I think I would be very over weight.

57 yr, 5’11”, and most of my life I’ve weighed between125 to 140 and I thought it would be that way the rest of my life. Because my dad was like that himself. But i learned we are two completely different beings.

my dad didn’t drink booze but was a huge smoker - up to four packs today which kept him from eating food and thus kept him very slim, (but it didn’t stop him from dying of lung cancer.) Flip side, I don’t smoke but I do/did drink (a lot) and that’s where the big difference happened. After hitting 50 I ballooned to 240 pounds. Stayed 225 to 240 for years. 2020 New Years resolution was get in shape. I started working out at the gym and running. I went down to about 220 and then with the quarantine in place and getting around has not been that easy with markets and such closed, I’ve stop drinking booze completely. And happily, I have lost another 20 pounds just by that factor. So for the first time in a long time I’m under 200 pounds.

And once the quarantine is lifted, I plan to continue to not drink booze and return to the gym. Wish me continued luck! My goal is 180.

Went whole-food, plant-based five years ago and have now lost 60 pounds, am 5'10" and 175. Probably could do with maybe another 5 but all in all, no longer fat!

I've gained a lot of weight over the past year. Broke my leg and over eight months of sitting my ass in a wheelchair and barely getting any exercise, I packed on the pounds. 5'9 1/2 and 190 I'd guess.

I do not know how fat I am, I haven't weighed myself in nearly a decade (too scared).

I know I am not HUGE (thanks to genetics; skinny dad) but I can stand to lose about thirty pounds or more ;)

On the moon I'm a very skinny woman.

I'm DL thin.

I'm 5'11" and 245 lbs. My highest weight was 255 a few years ago and it made me feel awful (mentally and physically). I cut out or limited sugars and starchy carbs and was able to get down to 208 at my lowest. Then I got weak and gradually started letting myself have sugar and starches again. And now here I am almost back to where I was. I don't really overeat. I just eat things that I know will put on the pounds. So I'm now back to doing what I was doing before and I'm making a little progress. But it's much harder than it was the first time.

I read that JFK, 5’11” weighed 155. Seriously wanted to kill self

If I dyed my hair pink I'd look like a pencil with shoulders.

I'm fat, but I got a man, so suck on it, OP. He loves me the way I am.

I’m auditioning for My 600 lb life. Need I say more?

It's immoral to be a fatty.

My weight is perfect for my height, which varies.

I’m 5’10” and 187 right now. I’ve gained the quarantine fifteen. I admit it. DoorDash been hooking me up with Cheesecake Factory and McDonald’s chicken McNuggets. What’s a gurl to do?

OP in a shop.

This should be a poll

5’10”, 130. Small boned, so this size works for me—I once got up to 190 pounds (mostly fat), and it was clearly too much for my frame. Lost the weight over a year by going to the gym 4 times a week and slowly reducing my intake.

An acquaintance of mine ballooned from 160 to 280 pounds (at 6’1”) over four years for an encourager boyfriend. He’s since lost the weight as well.

People often say drastic weight loss isn’t sustainable, but it can be done! Hang in there, and put down the pies.

I am precisely one million pounds. Not one ounce more or less.

5'7 and 142 pounds. I've gained about 15 pounds during lockdown. I eat small healthy meals...but then snack on sweets at night out of boredom. I feel like the extra weight is ALL in my gut. Trying IF and have sworn off sweets. Hoping to get back down to 125-130.

I expected to gain weight during the coviddening like everybody else, but I've lost about 10 lbs now. I'm eating less. I'm taking more supplements. Nothing fancy, a multivitamin, another multimineral, milk thistle, and some chlorella.

Q: how fact are you?

A: yes.

PM&L

6'1", 175 lbs, 66 y/o

The link is what I've come to believe most other DLers look like.

I remember when I was a skinny as the dude I'm the video at R83.

I've always been lean, but I got long-haul Covid. I'm now underweight, I'd love to be able to put on 12 pounds.

In the video... F'in autocorrect

6'4", 215lb, my heaviest ever. Getting back down to 200lb.

6'3, 240 but I look fabulous and the doctors say I'm the healthiest man they've ever seen.

6'5" - 292 lbs. I really feel great when I'm 275.

I'm not fat -I'm fluffy!

I wonder who the fattest dude on DL is? It would be quite an honor. If only there were an honest way to find out questions like fattest, most straight guys blown, etc. we could give out awards here.

R87, R88, R89, I like big tall guys with a little meat on their bones.

My moobs are spectacular!

My cock is fat!

I've lost a lot of weight trying to keep my blood sugar down, but that still leaves some persistent flab. At least I can wear 'normal' clothes again. 5'10", 175#.

I've lost about 8 lbs, doing intermittent fasting from alcohol.

I’m so fat that if I wanted to raise sea levels, all I need do is dip my pinkie toe in the ocean.

Let's just say I'm pleasingly plump.

I need to take 20 lbs. out of my gut easily. I'm hoping most of it is a tumor and can be done away with in an operation and a brief recovery period.

Well I hope you bitches over 250 are taking extra care after shitting if you want us to eat your ass and fuck you.

I don't mind a chubby bottom, but he's gotta be clean before I eat his ass.

Pleasantly plump.

REJOICE!

Nah, I don't think many, if any of us, are all THAT big.

Some of the chunky hissing eldergay caftan types are more in the Ross Matthews when she was fat category.

I am 6’ 4” and weigh 240 lbs

I was 30 lbs overweight. I’ve lost 17 lbs but I’m stuck. Haven’t lost weight in over 3 weeks. I eat about 1000 cals a day because I’m very short. I can’t exercise right now because I had a bad chest CT & might have pneumonia or something more serious (don’t have the CT report myself & wont see pulmonologist til Monday). I’m a bit short of breath these last few days & don’t want to end up in hospital.

I wish I could go for a walk but I have chronic respiratory disease & the oppressive subtropical heat, humidity & sun beating down on me make me sick.

I need to lose 40 pounds. So yes I am overweight and an emotional eater. I know how to live healthy but I’ve felt depressed. I was in great shape two years ago, went to the gym 6 days week. I’m working on my mental state.

5'6" 160lbs. The BMI calculator says im overweight, but I think I'm ok.

Do people still use the term zaftig?

Let’s just say... Dr Now isn’t returning my calls.

Let's just say I could not fit in a rowboat.

75 kg /173 cm, 165 lbs/ 5'8 in American

That waist to height thing R2 mentioned has me at 0.44 (76 cm/30 in waist although I can fit into a 28 in), used the thing linked below

I try to do at least an hours exercise a day and dont drink alcohol

Am trying to do that intermittent fasting thing like what R51 says, did it a few years back unintentionally and got to 66-67 kg. I got lots of attention, had a lot of fun

R107 - it's definitely a mental thing. I was depressed after my partner died and gained 40 lbs and for 2 years I let myself go. I finally found a gym I loved (hate their recent politics, but will probably go back when I get back to LA as it really worked for me). The important thing is to find a happy place - a gym, a park, somewhere to go and work out and some clothes and really start looking into cool kitchen gadgets and foods and it soon becomes fun.

R114 also helps to find an exercise you actually enjoy, so you will keep doing it. For me it was cycling and swimming, cant swim now cos COVID, so I go for a bike ride every day. If you use a bike to go places instead of driving you can save a shitload on gas (or public transport) over time and get more healthier

You'd think all that fresh oxygen would also make you more smarter.

R114 R115 Thanks guys, you inspired me to go and do something I like. I enjoy cycling too and I just planned a hike in the woods with a friend for tomorrow. I enjoy being outdoors.

I enjoy being outdoors naked ☺️

How fat am I? Like on a scale of 350?

I’m not fat, I just have a heavy skeleton.

R117 - yeah get out there and do it and don't forget to literally take time to look at the sky, the trees and the nature. It is proven therapy. I loved cycling at the gym and just put on my favorite music and went with it and, eventually, I made friends there and we started swapping recipes and stories. The gym had a website and app and it just got me out of my funk. A god hiking group and just taking time for you and browse hiking goods and treat yourself to a smoothie or whatever you like and try to enjoy the moments of your life. It was how I re-learned to live after losing the love of my life.

It doesn’t bother me if people think I’m fat. I have thick skin.

No, R22... "heavy" skin...

I like to fuck fat guys. Put them on their back, lift their legs up, and ram my cock into their hole. And look at them in the eyes as I do so.

So please stay fat.

So sorry for your loss R 121. You inspired me to get my ass off the couch. Thank you. A hiking group sounds good. I just love being out in nature and like you said there’s definitely something therapeutic about cycling or walking and taking in the light, the colours, trees, sky, plants and scenery.

I’m 30 years old, 175cm tall and currently weigh 81kg. Down from my heaviest at 88kg. Ideally I’d like to get back to my ideal weight of 75kg that I was when I was 23. I’ve plateaued I think as I can’t seem to lose any more weight after losing the 7kg.

This thread did not deliver the yardage that OP’s pic had promised. It was the typical humblebragathon.

R127 - once you plateau, it means the metabolism has essentially gotten used to your routine. What you need to do is add some elements to your routine. If you are using the eliptical, try for the same amount of time but on several cardio machines. Or a new exercise. It creates a "shock" to the metabolism and it starts burning again to keep up.

Thanks R129! This weight loss has just been from doing a 6km walk every day for the last 2 years so definitely need to up my game to shock my system as you say.

I'm 6'1". When I first started posting here about 5 years ago I weighed approx 165-170lbs.

Fast forward 5 years and I'm a wee bit chunkier at 185 lbs. I've lost about 10 lbs in 6 months, and the other chunkage will be gone within a year.

R130 - yeah time to start weights or push ups or something added to that. I did the same thing and plateau happened at 20 lbs. I started doing one meal a day of a smoothie and added weight training and BOOM...the rest came off.

R131 are you the real AIKC back from the dead?

If it’s real AIKC, they have increased his meds or lobotomized him.

Probably both.

I went to a portion control food business; I'm 5'6 1/4" and hovering around 200.

They told me my 'ideal weight was between 126 lbs. and 154 lbs.

I said do you really think I need to lose 80 lbs?

Cliche has it sounds, I don't have a problem losing weight. I have a problem keeping it off.
