No. I’m carrying some pounds I want to get rid of, but I’m not at all fat.
Oh, I lost it much quicker than that - it was in the MPSIMS threads over about nine or ten months. I did get down to a low of 193 or so, but a few pounds have crept back on. I’m feeling bloated at the moment, but bloated in 34" waist jeans is a long way from the kind of bloated I lived with for about 30 years. 
Normally I eat sensibly for two meals a day - porridge or similar for breakfast, and a snack lunch at school. That leaves me some leeway for the third meal. But my exercise has dropped back a little from when I was walking five miles a day six days a week or better.
Officially I’m “overweight” now, which is better than MO but could stand to be improved.

I’m 5’10" and 205 pounds, as of December 17th (My school also teaches a lot of medical disciplines, and I was having lots of fun with those scales you see in the doctor’s office. I don’t really weigh myself otherwise.) In August, right before my gallbladder surgery, I was 265. Taking away your body’s ability to process fat effectively without making you feel like death helps. So does thinking pretty hard about what you buy in the grocery store. I buy grapes and pineapples instead of chips to snack on, for instance. I buy a case of bottled water and sit it next to the soda my husband insists on, so I can grab one of those instead. I bake chicken instead of frying it. It’s been a few tiny changes, made one at a time.
I want to be down to 160, I think that’s a good weight for me. Well, between 180 and 160 is ok. I just want to see a 1 before the other numbers on the scale again.
Nope. 5’11" 155 lbs. 32" pants. I don’t particularly enjoy eating and I go to the gym 3-5 times a week.
And some.
No.
At what age does a waif become a bony old bat?
Why yes, yes I am.
Yep. Less fat than I used to be, though. Don’t plan on being fat forever.
Now see here, even sven: You can be normal and fat; you can be not normal and not fat; but you cannot be normal and not fat. You wanna be normal? Get thee to Cinnabon.

I wouldn’t call the Pedant fat, no.
6’2", 230-something pounds. My gut isn’t all that bad though; it’s mainly stored in the hips and man-boobs. (Which, all in all, is quite a bit worse for a dude.) I’ma sign up for that spark website, I think. Next quarter I’ll be cooking all my own meals and I’ll be right next to the gym, so maybe that’s a sign I should get off my lazy butt.
Good point. I’m 5’6 and maybe 125 lbs. Slim, but not exceptionally so. Just kind of…normal.
I’m a fat mofo knockin at yo doe.
Yes. I want to lose 10 kilos. Diet starts 27th Dec (lets hope it doesn’t finish the 28th!)
72.7 Kilo’s and 190.5 cm but I really want to get it down to 70 k as it makes it easier to go uphill
No. I’m 5’10", 140 lbs., male. A goal of mine is to gain some weight (in muscle, not in fat).
I think I am. Weight charts and BMI charts think I am the high end of normal, but it doesn’t look it to me. I’m about 5-10 pounds over where I’m happiest, and I think it’s my height/frame. 5’1" and small bones means that an extra 5 pounds makes me look chubby when a taller/medium- or larger-framed person could carry it off better.
Somewhere between 5.2-5.3*, and about 147 lbs. I’m not fat, but I’m horribly out of shape, and I really could lose about 10-15 lbs.
So basically, I’m not fat, but I don’t want to end being fat. So I really do need to do something about it. (My problem lately is all the fucking holiday food, and I really do blame myself for not having the goddamned willpower. Dammit)
*For some reason, I got different height measurements from different doctors. Da’hell?
At what point are you fat?
As I posted earlier, at 148 (now 145-thanks, gastroenteritis!) and 5’4 and a half, I am technically overweight. I don’t call that fat, though. No way anyone without an eating disorder would ever look at me and say “she’s fat”- in fact, with my long slender arms and legs, I actually look skinny with the right clothes. Is 5-10 lbs overweight fat? 20? 50?
Yeah I’m fat. I’ve lost about 45 lbs this year, though.
Still a long way to go.
I’m still pretty though, dammit!
If you mean me, again, I said I wasn’t fat. But I don’t want to go any further than I am, and if I don’t get in shape, and if I gain anymore weight, I will be. I don’t know what “fat” is exactly. I guess it’s a case of “you know it when you see it.”
