Mayness - I assume that is him in your avatar. He definitely doesn't look overweight.

Glad I'm not crazy, lol... I think that's around his current weight (his highest was 10-15lb more)... and yet, if he weighed 15 pounds more he'd be "obese" according to his BMI. *shrug*

Nope, but he's built well and tall so I don't feel thaaat mismatched standing next to him at the moment... In the past (while overweight), I've dated skinny dudes who made me feel really awkward next to them.. but that's just me.

On a side note, one annoying thing about being with an attractive guy while I'm in my current state is the reactions people give me when they meet him. I had a coworker repeatedly stammer "ohmygod... THAT'S your boyfriend?? WOW. He's really hot.... I mean... really hot... I'm surprised!" Ever since then, she plays 20 questions with me every time he's in the building, trying to figure out exactly why he's with me. I find that beyond rude..

Dang Roxy that's messed up- I probably would have called her on it by now though lol.

BMI IMO isn't the best judge anyways- it doesn't take into account pregnant women and body builders or even people who work out who have muscle.

My husband is 6'5" and 217lbs. He's recently gained which excites him. He's 13%bf, so obviously not at all overweight. He's always been in the thin side. He's actually gained about 30lbs since we've been together. In the past, his bf was in the single digits. His high school thought his parents were starving him! They called them in for a conference about it.

The bf is about 130 and is just a hair shy of six feet. I swear I could snap that boy in half, but he's a martial artist and extremely strong. He's completely supportive of me and loves me for who I am which is amazing.

I'm still going to make him gain five pounds though. I plan on feeding him baklava all the time.

I really don't like the weight charts. I'm a stocky woman. I just told one of the ladies at the corner store that I was trying to lose 50 lbs. Once again, I got the "No freaking way are you 180." Yes I am. I weigh 130-135 at prime weight. I have a lot of muscles in my shoulders and thighs. Can't even wear those skinny leg pants.

A lot of men are the same way. If my X went below 250, he'd look anorexic. But, he's built like a football player, not basketball. I'm built like a female Franco Columbo. We need to look at our individual bodies and their structures.

My boyfriend is 5'10 and weighs 145 lbs. So he is near the bottom range for his height. He eats total crap too. He's only 21, though, so I keep warning him that in a couple years he's going to balloon. His response is "if that happens I'll just eat less." As if its that simple.

My hubby is over 6 ft and is over weight as well. But he has shed 20 pounds in the past month.

When we met almost 20 years ago, we were slim and trim.
In fact, we actually took pictures of ourselves with our clothes stuffed with pillows saying "Will you still love me when I look like this some day?"

By the time we finally got around to getting married, we DID look like that! LOL! So we used those pictures on our wedding invitation.

Of course, now we have hit the age where we both really need to dump the weight to avoid pending health issues!

DH is 51 and at a normal weight (5'7" and 152 lbs). He was around 210 when we started this journey together 19 months ago. We are now maintaining a total loss of over 150 lbs.

We are more fit than we have ever been, and are enjoying our new "healthy" selves immensely!

He is slightly overweight and has been losing along with me!

my hubby is 5'11 and about 200lbs. hes been fit his whole life till he quit smoking. ( he had been smoking since he was 12) ever since than, he has gained a good chunk of weight ( in just a couple months) when he first met me i was thin and beautiful. than i got preggo, let it alllll go. and never bothered till now to do something about the 100+++ lbs i put on.
he once told me he didnt find me attractive because of my weight.. and he couldnt understand how that would hurt me.. well, now that his pants arent fitting and hes starting to notice his growing belly i asked him the other day, "what if i told you i didnt find you attractive because of your extra weight"... no reply.

CHECK MATE!!!!!!! MUHAHAHA

*ahem* sorry. well. little off topic but. that was satisfying to share..

My husband is about a quarter inch shorter than me and has never been overweight. When we started dating, I could fit into his baggy pants. I didn't really get terribly overweight until marriage and pregnancy! He never really gained weight until he started driving truck, but now that we don't really have a lot of extra money, he's not eating like he should and has lost the weight he gained. Not unhappy that he lost the weight, just the way he's doing it...

Yes. 5' 11'' and at 275 lbs. He's completely addicted to fast food. I had a talk with him the other day (not a lecture). I told him that I get kind of worried that he eats so much BK and I told him that I will start cooking for him at home. Even if it's a big meaty burger made by me, it HAS to be better that BK or anywhere else.

And that was my rant.

When Angie and I met 14 years ago she was 5' 5" and weighed 125 pounds. She got up to 132 the first year and a half we were married. She wasn't used to eating the food I was and tried to accommodate me and the kids...well she finally put a stop to that!

I am 6' even and weighed about 165 when we met. FYI for all you gals that have skinny husbands....when the 40's come so do the pounds! I was always rail thin until I reached my 40's.

Angie got back down to her 125 in no time by getting back to her exercise routines and starting "making" us eat healthier.

I eventually got up to 201 which was not her fault but my own over eating of garbage!

Today she is at 123 and active in her yoga and walking and I am at 178 active walking but back-sliding a bit on my journey of better choices....say cheese!

I will say that Angie never once said anything to me about my weight....never. She just goes out and sets the example for our family.
