How much are you supposed to weigh at 5'11''?

Hm - who is the one that supposes? What are you comfortable with? Others ideas of what is normal are not always helpful and can be very misleading. I am wondering what is behind this question.....

A subject close to my heart, in more way than one.
Try this site, it is especially handy because it allows you to calculate your frame size and that has a bearing on what your 'ideal' weight should be.

Be careful also of using BMI (body mass index), it is far too general as it calculates the result based only on height and weight. By that standard, most rugby, or amaerican football players are obese - will tell them or shall I?
I found that I'm the correct weight; but 3 feet short :-)

Hi, Weight. WEIGHT, WEIGHT, YES, it just seems to stay with me, but if I really work hard at losing it, then sometimes I do, but in a month or so later I am generally back where I started. That is very round and cuddly, this is how my partner discribes me !! and I really don't mind. The only time I get really fed up is when my clothes don't fit !!! then it is really time to take action.
But what is the correct weight ??? and who decides ???? I think some skinny doctor !!!

When someone explains to me how my friend, who is 50. can drink 10 pints a night, have greasy fry ups for breakfast 7 days a week take no exercise and still weigh the same as he did at 18. While I limit my calorie intake to 2000 a day and try like mad to get 30 minutes of medium exercise and still can't lose weight then I'll listen to the latest diet craze
Until then F**k the lot of them!

I am seriously p****d off tonight just in case no-one has noticed, but it's not personal.

Hi Swon

Really sorry your son didn't pass. No wonder you are pissed off.

Just reread you post Swon - and I wonder what diet fad you were referring to, as I didn't mention any diet fads, I definitely don't do diet fads.

If I am depressed I eat and if I am anxious I don't.

If I am in a mood to be very controlling with myself I stop my grazing habits and make sure I exercise.

But mostly I fear I just enjoy food and eat more than my lifestyle requires.

I appreciate that genes have a role in some of this - but I know that everytime my weight plummets - over 15 k too quickly that it comes back and worse.

Someone was speaking to me the other day about how our grandparents would be horrified if they thought that their ancestors would be thinking about how they had too much food to eat and had to consciously exercise to lose weight. The world for us has changed quickly in a couple of generations hasn't it? UM xx

Hi Sar,
I was being very general in my rant and not referring to any particular fad, diet plan or craze.
So, nothing personal at all.

Take care,
Swon

So many talk weight and yet so rarely do we talk about how we feel about our bodies. Poppygirl you say how your partner describes you and not how you feel. Is weight such an arbitrator of how we feel in our skins? One of the most amazing women and one of the most amazing men i knew were not any kind of stereotype of body gorgeous but they both inhabited themselves and were gorgeous to be with intimately.
It took me years to feel comfortable with my body. It does not meet any kind of external olympic standard and yet I have come to be able to inhabit myself - and hell, gravity is just one opinion isn't it?
