Nope. I’ve managed to maintain the same weight (give or take 10 lbs) since high school.
Yeah, I worry about it too. I am pretty much skin and bones, really. Not as bad as I was a few years ago, but still…
I wish I could gain some weight: fat or muscle, I don’t care at this point (especially if I can request that it go to my biceps or forearms). I’m 5’10" and +/- 150 pounds with a nudge over 7% body fat. The most I have ever weighed was 165.
When I joined the Army I weighed 122 pounds, but I feel just as shrimpy now as I did then. Maybe I should quit with the cigarettes or something.
One year ago at Christmas we had a health scare in the family and I lost 20 lbs. since stress makes me stop eating. THIS year, I have eaten my weight in Christmas cookies and candy, washed down with gallons of eggnog. Now my new skinny jeans are hard to zip up. Something must be done! Right after New Years, I swear!
No, not fat. I used to be super tall and super skinny, then super tall and skinny, now I’m just super tall and…not fat.

I’m not, but I’ve lost 100 pounds so psychologically I’m still a little bit fat. The last week has been really hard, what with the holidays- too much rich food and no exercise while visiting my family. I’m experiencing some fear of getting fat again. I want winter to end so I can go back to running outside, rather than visiting the Y.
They seriously do that? WTF?
I’m in the ‘no’ group.
It has taken me over 50 yrs to claw my way up into ‘normal’ from the dregs of underweight.
Small frame, metabolism of a squirrel, etc. I was once refused, when trying to donate blood, for not meeting the weight requirement!
No.
I’m sure you’d get plenty of feedback here if you posted pictures.
No, not anymore.
I was creeping up on 200 lbs. a few years back, which was just this side of obese for a guy my height. I lost it through exercise and paying attention to what I ate. I didn’t “diet” but I did cut out most packaged foods, ate more vegetables — especially salads — and increased my protein intake.
I do sanity checks every few months where I measure and weigh my food to see if my portions are bigger than I think they are. I’ve never been very far out of line with what I should be eating. If you eat well, as in eating generally healthy food in the right proportions and in reasonable amounts, you can eat occasional junk too. If I feel like eating some cake or McDonald’s, I can as long as I don’t make a habit of it.
My problem wasn’t really food, it was lack of exercise. I actually eat more calories now than when I was about 30 lbs. heavier. Now that I’ve got a new job I do have to put more effort into making time for working out, but that’s about the only planning involved. I guess if I wanted to get into single-digit body fat I’d have to have a more rigorous diet, but I’m still fairly satisfied with my fitness progress at this point.
About 2 weeks ago I wasn’t, but I’ve gained about 5 pounds since and am now looking a tad pudgy. Damn Christmas food/parties/booze. Ah, well, it will come off in January.
Not anymore. 
Well, technically. I’m now 5’7" and about 165. Another 5 pounds off and I’ll be in the normal BMI range. Ten more after that and I’ll be at my goal. I’ve taken off 55 pounds already.
Weight Watchers rocks.
Nope.
Nope. I work hard to maintain my weight, and I’m proud that I’m fit and slim.
Female, 5’7" and 135
Yes - I’m 5’4" and about 168 pounds. I want to be at 128 by June. I’ve done 30 pounds before, but I was younger than, too.
I just wanted to say that, for me, the most inspirational part of your post was the reference to “size 6” clothes. I don’t even really care about clothes, but as my bra and waist size increases, it’s just terrible. I’m fighting buying size 14 pants and a D cup bra, but I know those are my proper sizes at this point.
Hopefully, with hard work and determination, by June, I’ll be buying a size 8! 
Well, the wii fit tells me “that’s normal” in a chipper voice, so I guess no. It is still after me to get my BMI down another point though. It also tells me to see how my sister’s posture is doing. Sometimes I think it’s starting to care TOO much.
No. I’m 5’6" and about 165. My highest non-pregnant weight was 185, and my lowest (this summer) was 145 - high school graduation weight. I felt great at 145 - slender yet with curves, fitting into a size 8 pants/dress … and then I just started gaining again. Not watching what I ate and NO exercise at all. Bad combination! I turn 30 on May 1, so my goal is to be back at 145 by then, if not before. Twenty pounds in four months is totally realistic, so long as I can figure out a way to excercise without gym access and inside (cold here in Indiana) and around my two kids.
Heh, the BMI recommendation on Wii Fit is so far off it’s scary. I’m in good shape, body fat around 10%, do lifting, running or other exercise about 2–3 days a week.
A couple of days ago, I tried out some of the stuff for Wii Fit+ at my mother in law’s. It recommends that I go down to 68 kg for a BMI of 22. That would put me at about 5 lbs. over what I was as a freshman in high school, when I was 2 inches shorter and scrawny. I’ve gained almost two inches across the shoulders in bone structure alone since I reached my adult build. I’d look like a famine victim at that weight.
In my case, I know to discount it because it’s meant for a sedentary Japanese population, and I’m neither of those things. I guess they didn’t recalibrate anything for the overseas market.
I’m about the same height and have bounced between 190 and 215 over the past year or so. I’m working out and am in better shape than I was in 2008 and the beginning of 2009, but I’m still fat-- even if it’s a muscular sort of fat. I’m still working on losing the fat from my body and building lean muscle-- my arms and chest are currently the best examples on me of the progress I’ve made, as you can see there’s muscle under there, but there’s still a layer of fat on my upper arms that disguises it when not “in use”.

As you can see, I’m fat but not necessarily FAT.
