How Tall and Heavy Are PF Members?

[SOS2008]

Wow, it seems like all the women around here are tiny!

And alas, no NBA candidates among us...?

 

[Moonbear]

We must have put all our energy into brain development rather than bone growth!

 

[Danger]

I'm in there with Motai.
5'9" (down from original 5'10")
132 lbs. (half of that's a beer gut; my normal weight was 125-128 before beer)

Now if you'll excuse me, I just got home from work and have to go digging up quotes to attack. It'll take a while; you folks have been busy in my absence.

 

[Danger]

I can claim I'm just health-conscious avoiding skin cancer

If you're concerned about breast cancer as well, we're starting a clinic...

I was so pale and thin skinned that I looked green (from veins under the skin)

Are you part Vulcan?

 

[mattmns]

Wow, you can tell the guys here are nerds, I would never let my weight drop below 160, probably even 180! I am about 6'-6'1" ~195lbs

 

[Mk]

Hmm, I'd say around 10^-33 centimeters tall, and my weight? I don't know if it can be determined.

 

[Grogs]

Wow, you can tell the guys here are nerds, I would never let my weight drop below 160, probably even 180! I am about 6'-6'1" ~195lbs

Well, I'm 5'11" & 195 lbs. That *could* mean that I'm more buffed than you. Or it could just mean I've put on 20 lbs. since I quit smoking.

 

[Danger]

Not nerdishness, metabolism. I couldn't get to 160 if I ate bowling balls all day. For instance, I just had my supper while mucking about here. It was an IGA chicken pie, which contains about 1/2 of a barbecued chicken, and 1/2 of a lemon crumble pie. If I'm eating my breakfast in a restaurant, I have either 6 fried or 8 scrambled eggs plus 4 pieces of toast. I only get 3 eggs for breakfast at home because that's all my little cooking pot will hold.

PS: If I don't get to bed within 2 hours, I'll need a snack.

 

[hypnagogue]

I've been obsessing over NBA draft scouting recently.

Fan of one of the California teams, I assume? Most of them are lottery fodder this season, so it'd make sense. I'm hoping for my Knicks to tab Gerald Green or Chris Taft.

I'm 5'10", ~190 lbs. Been letting myself go recently. Typically I'm closer to 170, and when I was in tip-top shape a few years ago I was more like 160.

 

[Moonbear]

I'd be happy to share some of mine. I can get a tan, but it's harder to keep the weight off (darn Moonbear keeps baking cakes...!).

That's part of my problem too. When it's raining and gray and there's nothing else to do, I bake. I think I need a larger mailing list to share the goodies.

 

[hypatia]

I'm 5'6" and about 140 lbs, some of the medicine I take makes it impossible to loose the extra 10 lbs

 

[Ivan Seeking]

3' 7", 68 Lbs.

 

[Moonbear]

3' 7", 68 Lbs.

I suspect somebody might be fibbing a bit.

 

[hypatia]

wow and I thought the "grays" were a bit heaver then that.

 

[SOS2008]

3' 7", 68 Lbs.

Good Lord, you're not much larger than Tsu's chain saw (but does your engine run hot?) So, um, what kind of teeth marks does a little critter like you leave, on say, small domesticated animals...?

 

[Moonbear]

wow and I thought the "grays" were a bit heaver then that.

Yeah, those big heads alone must weigh a lot. And they always seem to be pictured with really big pot bellies. Then there's that extra digging foot. It starts to add up quickly.

 

[Danger]

Maybe they have a helium-based metabolism...

 

[Ivan Seeking]

And they always seem to be pictured with really big pot bellies.

Obviously you will believe anything.

pot bellies, geez...

 

[Chronos]

Checking drivers license for official stats... Ah, there it is
Height: 4.35E34 Planck lengths
Mass: 1.33E28 GeV

 

[gravenewworld]

SCREW YOU ALL SKINNY BIATCHES. I am ~5'5 160 lbs. I gained my "freshman 15" this year, i.e. sr. year. Damn I am a skinny ass. After this year is over I am defnitely going on a diet. I need to get back to my high school wieght of 145lbs.

 

[Monique]

Geez...do all your bones stick out?

I hope you don't ask someone with a big size whether they've got their belly hanging out. But the comment was probably in good fun

 

[Moonbear]

Yeah, it was meant in fun. And a tad bit of jealousy that she has a body type that allows her to be so thin. Then again, I think I did accuse Ivan of having a pot-belly, though only when he reveals his gray alien form.

 

[Bladibla]

185-188 cm
71 kg.

 

[recon]

165 cm and 52 kg

 

[brewnog]

175cm, 79kg.

 

[Artman]

6'-2" and 145lbs. I weight the same as I did in high school 28 years ago.

 

[saltydog]

My 11 year old daugher is taller then that!

Good for you! May I suggest "Reviving Ophelia" by Mary Pipher? Where were all the dads? Don't mind me. Just a little something I need to do . . .

 

[Janitor]

6'-1, 217 lb. Not getting any taller as the years go by, but I've got 300 pounds in my crosshairs. I think I can get there.

 

[motai]

ack I, along with dextercioby and Danger, seem to be the skinniest for our heights. I am around 6-7 inches taller than Moonbear and Evo and yet I am near their weight class (!).

Then again, I have no fat on my arms (very slowly building up muscle), very little on my legs, and only around 1 inch of stretchable midsection which I can't quite tell whether it is fat or skin. Even though I am slowly trying to build up muscle in some areas, I doubt that my stature allows for an Arnold Schwarzenegger build. At least the slight muscle definition that is there isn't masked by any fat.

That's probably what happens when an already skinny person decides to take part in a highly aerobic activity like long distance running.. I get even leaner.

 

[Danger]

Strangely enough, I'm not exactly skinny. I've casuallly studied a bit of physiology (that's how I study everything), and still have no clue of what the hell exactly is going on with my body. It's almost like a 'Hulk' thing. Under normal circumstances I'm built like a 10-year-old. If I concentrate for a couple of seconds and tense up, suddenly muscles appear (not huge, but well-defined). I have no difficulty lifting 100lbs with one hand. A few years ago I had a 390lb grip with my right hand and 370 with the left, and yet I have wrists like pipe-cleaners. The arthritis has really messed that up, but I can still manage about 250. Overall, though, I try not to exert myself any more than is absolutely necessary (breathing, eating, sex when I can get it...) The last time I tried something heroic didn't go well. I tore a couple of muscles in my ass picking up the end of an 800lb pool table to shake a stuck ball loose. The ball came out, but I couldn't finish the game.
