10st 7 (mini-rant)

[Fierce_LiNk]

I've just weighed myself today, and it turns out I'm now 10st 7. That probably doesn't seem like much, but I've NEVER been above 9 and a half stone in all my life.

I've always been a thin person, ever since I was a kid. I suppose I've got quite a feminine shape, it's slim, but that's just who I've always been. Over the past year, I've had quite a few problems, and some of them affected my eating. At times, I was just too stressed to worry about food, and at others I just didn't have the time or money to worry about such a thing.

In the summer I noticed I was smaller than I normally was, so I decided to try and go the other way. I tried eating, but I'd get full too quickly. In the past, I tried at several points to eat more consistenly, but I always seemed to keep the same shape. I never seemed to get bigger or smaller, so I just ate when I was hungry, and that was that.

When the summer was over, I was listening to a couple of girly friends talking, saying how they wanted big rugby blokes to come and sweep them off their feet, and I thought to myself "ffs, why can't I be like that?" I got a bit angry at them for thinking it (in my head, never outloud) and I got angry with myself for being small.

Suddenly, I gained an appetite. I'd eat, then two hours later I'd feel hungry so I'd have to eat, again. I came down the stairs one day to eat my breakfast and my housemate said I looked different, then somebody overheard and said the same thing. This spurned me on.

I bought a shirt about a month ago. I was wearing it earlier and I realised it was pretty damn tight, and the same for the new jeans I've bought. My tops are starting to feel tighter too, around the shoulders and waist.


The question is, how did this happen? Can you really 'will' yourself to be bigger?

[Kirkatronics]

did you tone up?

[Tellyn]

Yay for Fat Flinky! I joke. I'm heavier than you and I'm not fat (my BMI's normal). I've always had an appetite though, I usually can't go a few hours without eating.

[Fierce_LiNk]

did you tone up?

Not really, did a spot of weights here and there, but nothing that would break the bank, so to speak.

It's more to do with the eating that bugs me. For 20 years or so I've not had an appetite, so whats happened?

[mcj metroid]

ha I'm 7 and a half and am 19.....under weight anyone?

I love being able to eat what i want and not be affected:)

[Dante]

I'm nine stone and a half. :)

[gaggle64]

Late growth spurt perhaps? Never heading over 9 and half stone at your age, you were probably overdue.

[Strider]

I'm about 15 stone :P Which could be described as rugby build (With extra fat on top). I would like to be 13 stone, then i'd look trim.

I eat whenever something looks tasty, i hardly ever feel hungry.

[Charlie]

It's just natural "filling out" as you grow older. My uncle was saying today that until he was 23 he was really thin but now he's not fat but well-built. My dad was the same and I probably will be too. I'm really skinny at the moment but I don't think I will be in 10 years time, not fat, just not skinny.

[Cube]

I'm pretty much the same.

Some say it's killing us inside. I say they're just jealous.

[The Bard]

10st 7?

I'm 11st at the moment, I'm only 5ft11. It doesn't mean that you're fat, it probably just means that you've been working out, or you finally kicked the anorexia and ate a sandwich. Besides, if you weighed yourself right after you ate, it's not going to be a good indicator. Sometimes when I weigh myself after pigging out, I've magically put on 5 pounds. Don't worry about it, that's underweight for your size

[triforce_keeper]

Flinky, you say u want to be bulky? I'm quite broad shouldered and big bones, and I hate it, I'm not like really bulky but I would luke to be slot more slender...

Booo

[Fierce_LiNk]

That's what I'm thinking. It feels great! I've grown tired of being short and skinny. I want to, as Moria says, fill out.

I'm saying it's a good thing, not that I'm fat or owt. I'm just curious about why it's happening now. I weighed in the morning as well, never after a meal, cos...that's just daft. :D

Being slender sucks. :heh:

I say that too:)
I'll never gain weight.. It's not going to happen. I'm also quite fit without even trying. its great.

[EEVILMURRAY]

It's the b33r belly. Embrace it. You burn it off as you plow the ladies/men/goat(delete as appropriate).

[DCK]

Muscles weigh more than fat.

At least that's what I keep telling myself.

[Chuck]

I dont know how heavy I am. I guess im a bit like strider - size 11 feet, 6ft, broad shoulders.

[Stefkov]

I'd say the same for myself. Apart from having size 13 feet.
I'm always asked if I play rugby to which I reply no. Then always the counter is I should. I would if I liked the sport.
10 stone 7 consider yourself lucky. How I wish to be that weight again. I just remember a couple years ago, stepping onto the scales just before a shower I'd see if go up, then the next time it would be up more. I was sad.
Now whatever I do I can't seem to put anything on, if I ever lose anything it's a few pounds which are on again the next day.

[Zell]

Well I'm 6'2" and I'm only just 10st so I guess I'm just healthy though I'm bordering on the underweight. I guess I'm fairly happy with what I am, at least I don't look like some anorexic skellator.

[Letty]

I weighed myself just now, and I'm 8st 8 - but 8st 9 with my jumper on :D

(This is terrible, I've put on 0.5st over the holidays)

[Jordan]

(This is terrible, I've put on 0.5st over the holidays)

Same here, but so what? I'm only 12 3 1/4 now.

Man i used to be like... 13 something around the summer.

[MoogleViper]

Haven't weighed myself since christmas but I'm 6' and 11st. I'm not fat or anything and I'd like to get more muscle.

[Haden]

Im 13 stone booyah! 1 stone of that is my giant penis though so I dont feel so bad. On a more serious note hmm everyone always say I look thin then I tell them my weight and they are like wow. Im healthy according to BMI maybe I have an alien inside me thats slowly growing into it launches into the atmosphere out of my chest. Or maybe I should cut down on the subways its one of the two.

[Roostophe]

I think I'm about 9st. I'm one tall, gangly motherfarmer that's for sure...

[Caris]

I'm gonna loose 3 stone by my birthday in May. Starting January 1st.

[The Bard]

I did that. I was a really fat bastard at the start of last summer, but I lost 3 and a half stone in 5 months. It's pretty hard dude, the only reason I managed it was cause I used to be in Florida walking for 10/11 hours a day in 30 degree heat without anything after breakfast. You gotta hit the gym.

[Caris]

I ride Bmx everyday in the spring/summer. So it shouldn't be too bad.

I'm gonna get my mum to take some before and after photo's as well haha.

[Raining_again]

I've lost 2 stone in 2 months. It's doable, but hard.

It would be nice to be anywhere near 10 stone 7 XD

bmi chart:

Although I thought healthy was between 20 and 25 tbh.

[chairdriver]

How much is 9 stone in pounds?

[Raining_again]

1 stone = 14 pounds

[Charlie]

How much is 9 stone in pounds?

Try typing it in Google. :)

9 stones = 126 pounds

[ReZourceman]

Iza fat beach, but also intend to lose weight as soon as the Christmas period is over.

[Wesley]

I'm 9 stone on the dot and cannot put on weight.

This is probably the most I will weigh in my entire life. Three years ago I was 7 stone.

I can lose around a stone in a month without doing any exercise and eating the same amount. In fact, if I eat more crap, I lose weight.

I wish I could put on more weight to turn to muscle. But instead I'm just thin and athletic. :(

That's how its always been with me, I could never get above 9 and a half stone.

Then suddenly, wtf!

There's always a way, my dear. I was getting a bit pissed off because I've always been told "you're too thin." FFS, if I can't gain weight, what can I do?

[Wesley]

Anyone got any fat they wanna unload onto me?

[Raining_again]

I think its equally as bad for the people that are desperately trying to lose weight and the ones desperately trying to put on.

At the end of the day we'll never be happy with ourselves completely. :(

[somme]

I'm 9 and a half stone.

[My Buttons are Magic!]

im 10st
quite chubby arms/stomach/legs

ive a small frame so when any weight goes on at all its very noticably.. im planning on going down till 9st before long

ive tiny tiny shoulders

[Shorty]

Flink, unless you're really short, if you weighed under 9.5st at your age you would be underweight surely :/ I weigh a bit under 11 and I never get fat

[Slaggis]

I'm about 5.8 and weigh 8 stone. I never put on weight, it's really annoying tbh. I hate looking so scrawny!

[ipaul]

From that chart I recon I'm about 20/21 BMI - 6ft 2 and 11st 6, or thereabouts. I'm pleased with my weight, always felt I was quite healthy with it. Perhaps I could do with a bit more meat (muscles =P) but I'm content.

[mcj metroid]

yey i'm the lightest here i think haha:)

[That Guy]

I have to see a dietitian because of my weight problems. I'm 5ft 10 and I used to weigh 8st 3lbs. A few months later I managed to get up to 10st 2lbs. Since then it's been nothing but downhill and I'm somewhere around 9st.

Thing is I don't actually like eating. I can eat a whole tub of ice cream or a big bar of chocolate from time to time, but there isn't a great lot of dinners I like and I could quite easily never eat breakfast.

[Slaggis]

I never eat breakfast, I haven't in years. I can't stomach food as soon as I wake up, I just usually binge when I get back from college after eating some sort of sandwich at lunch.

[Shorty]

Have you tried toast, omelets, eggs, waffles... fruit... even a muffin in the morning, Haggis? "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" isn't just an old wives' tale, it's key to starting your day off with the right nutrients. Gives you a chance to get back the glucose levels you lost during sleep and wakes you up. Breakfast skippers get tired and irritable easier and at the same time have worse sleeping habits.

Edit: Did a quick google and one site listed these for people who don't fancy breakfast foods:

Lean ham on a toasted English muffin and vegetable juice
Cheese pizza and orange juice
Grilled vegetables mixed with beans and cilantro topped with cheese
Heated leftover rice with chopped apples, nuts and cinnamon and fruit juice

[Fierce_LiNk]

Flink, unless you're really short, if you weighed under 9.5st at your age you would be underweight surely :/

That would be the correct statement.

I've always had a problem gaining weight. :(

[Shorty]

Then, your metabolism is just slowing down as you get older :heh: If you're gaining weight when you eat, now is a key time to start buildin teh muscles.

Is there still time to wish/hope for a bigger schlong, too?

[Hem]

Usually stops growing at around 17 ^^

[Charlie]

Steps to making your penis bigger:

1) Buy a heavy metal ball with a hook on the end.
2) Buy a piece of string.
3) Tie around schlong.
4) Leave to hang for a few days.


You heard it first here, boys!

Exactly. Some people are genetically determined to be thin, or large and trying to become the opposite is a monumental task.

Then there are those people that are genetically determined to be the perfect height and weight no matter how they eat or exercise. I hate these people :heh:

[Rummy]

Haha, you sound like me! I've not passed the 10st mark yet though, but growing up I was always thin, yet recently everytime I weigh myself, I seem to be creeping up in weight. However, my laziness(and still living in my parents' house) is keeping me in check, that whenever I'm hungry, I'm usually too lazy to make something to eat, so I kind of starve for a while, then have something basic. I think it's probably just age though, I know a few family and stuff who were thin, then hit their 20s and started putting it on, crazy stuff.
