Default Weight Problems
I've been overweight for years. Not massively, but a good 30-40 pounds. In this past year, I lost some 20 pounds, through some various reasons. I weight about 215 pounds at 5'11, and I'm still trying to lose that last 20-25 pounds. I've found that one of the best exercises is to play with children. Gods, those kids are crazy! My 12 year old brother brought a bunch of friends over to play snowball games. I went out and played for a while with them, and I was tired out in minutes! How do they do it?!?!? Anyway, does anyone else have weight problems?

Hey!, I'm there too at close to 230. Ten more pounds and diabites kicks in. My exercise problem (apart from the dislike of "formal" exercise for exercise alone) is that I don't have the staying power and really need the frequent "time outs" for my heart. Just bringing in the groceries is done in three segments (and there are no stairs to climb).

Hehehe, I remember my doctor at the time saying I should lose some weight and I got down to 180. Meanwhile, he had been running and lost more and wanted more from me. It was a bit depressing and I've put on more weight in those 20 some-odd years. ( I have jeans in 3 sizes and none of the suits fit).

Im 6'5, 270 lbs. According to BMI, I would be severly obese, but what the BMI doesn't consider is that muscle mass is much heavier that fat mass. Im guessing Im about 30-40 pounds of fat mass over-weight. I work out alot, so its difficult to tell if I've lost any fat wieght with a scale since its constantly up and down. Guess Ill know when my wieght problem is done with when I go from 28% body fat to aboput 15%.
I love lifting wieghts and aerobics. I try to get to the gym every day to work out for 1 or 2 hours, then I do about 30 push ups and sit ups in suana at 250 degrees ferienhiet. I get in 20 push ups, sit ups and jumping jacks, 100 crunches, and at least a 10 minute jog in every evening. Now that its warmed up were I live, Im adding in about 30 minutes of trampoline jumping.

My problem is not being overweight, but being slightly underweight. I'm only about 7lbs underweight right now, but it still sucks because I get tired far more easily than I should.

Luke Wolf has a point. Muscle weighs more than fat. I have always been considered 20 to 30 lbs overweight, I weigh about 155 to 160, but I have a low body fat percentage. When I was in the military and had to get weighed in for every PRT I was told to be overweight so they had to do a percentage test and I always came out with less body fat that those who were of "average" weight. So, that is why I don't really worry about my "few extra pounds" ... they are muscle and I'd like to keep that.

Well, not ALL muscle I'm sure, I have my curves I'd like to keep too

The charts suck!

When I was 17, I was borderline obese according to the charts. At 5'9", I was 194 pounds at 5% bodyfat.

My weight throughout my 20's ranged from 220 to 300 pounds. At the beginning of my current round of weight loss, I was going to try to lose 100 pounds. That would have brought me down to 190. After doing a body composition test, I had to re-evaluate my target because I had 223 pounds of lean mass. For all the work it takes to put it on, I can't see myself losing 40 pounds of muscle just to hit a meaningless number. When I find a spot where I look and feel good, I'll stop there.
