I wonder (skinny BF question)
 

Now I know I suck at being a regular and all that, but because of that i've been staring at 217 for 2 months now :mad: Anyways, I was thinking how much would I have to weigh for my boyfriend to be able to carry me around. He's ultra thin! He's like, 130 on a good day! How much dang weight would I need to lose to be lofted around in the arms of my man!? lol

My husband is just starting to be able to pick me up now. Well, pick me up without me yelling "You're going to break your back!" because he was arching so much. lol. But he's about 175-180 pounds and 6'1.

Good question, and one I often ask myself (my bf weighs about the same between 125-130) and I think part of it has to do with our weight and the other part has to do with his strength! My bf is way lanky, and even though he's strong I'm not sure he'll ever be able to cart my butt around, even at goal! However, two of my friends only way 30lbs more than him and have no trouble hoisting me up at the weight I am now. So you may hint to him that he should do a few bicep curls ;)

My boyfriend has always been able to pick me up. I think it depends on his build and strength. My bf is 6'5 and weighs 215. He works out frequently and can lift quite a lot, he'd have to in order to lift me up =) Please note: I did not say it was comfortable or effortless lol

LoL OK so ladies, how in the world do I bring up the "hey you need to pack on some weight" convo with him while here I am being overweight lol.

Noelle - ANOTHER good question and one I often prod my boyfriend with lol. My boyfriend is 5'10.5" and 130lbs - reaaaallly close to being underweight (though his doc hasn't ever said anything) for his height. So I always tell him he should eat healthier, and he lets me cook for him and feed him the right things like fruit instead of him reaching for chips, cookies, and that damn KFC Chicken-for-buns sandwich. He admires that I like working out and being healthy, so it inspires him to put down the Taco Bell and Burger King and eat a piece of fruit. Getting him to actually lift weights will probably be a whole other matter entirely since he has excellent metabolism and never needs to work out. Same thing with his sister - that girl is like 110lb and a size 0-1!

Right now he CAN lift me, but only for like 5 minutes and with some serious effort on his part. It probably doesn't help that I squirm and freak out about him hurting himself when I fall on him and crush him.

haha Yea I know exactly how you feel, with the squirming and what not. My boyfriend can actually pick me up now (briefly) somehow. lol Maybe I shouldn't say "pick" me up more like support my mass for a brief period of time lol. Anyways, he's not flat by any means he has the most toned little body ever just in this very small form lol he is also about 5'10. He doesn't exercise, he has a constant 6 pack and he eats like craaaap. I don't know, I was thinking if I got a gym membership he might come along and do the man lifting thing they do?

Your boyfriends are skinny! My bf was up to 180 at 6' at one point but thank god he's started exercising and dieting. He could always pick me up even when I was 155 but I could tell it wasn't easy for him. Now he's about 167-170 and I'm 126-128 and he claims it's easier.

So.. My boyfriend is 155 at his highest weight, and I'm 165 - top weight at 175. He's always been able to carry me, seemingly effortlessly.

Mine is at his highest weight ever right now (210 at 5 foot 11). He looks much better than when he's itty bitty skinny, but is getting a belly now....
He's always been able to pick me up, and we've been dating since he was in the 180s and I was in the low 200's. Guess it depends on their upper body strength.

My boyfriend works out a lot, weights and such at the gym and cycles everywhere. It was hard for him to pick me up when I was closer to 185 pounds, probably also because I freaked out about it so much and would squirm around. He currently weighs around 140 pounds and just last week asked if he could try to pick me up "threshold styles" as in... in both arms..if that makes sense...so I hesitantly agreed - and he said he was surprised and could definitely tell I was a lot lighter. I dunno though..I've never been comfortable with people trying to pick me up!

I find it odd that i almost outweigh theBF by 100 punds! Geesh, and this isn't even the worst of it! When we met I was pushing the 255 area. Makes me wonder how the sex still manages to be...so good. :P
