Fat doesn't like me very much.

exercise, no exercise, cramming calories or eating pot noodles..
the scales stay where they are no matter what.

6' 3" and 145 lbs, feth knows how that one works out on the chart (dont usually check BMI)

I can HONESTLY say that for a teen im overwieght , but its NOT all fat

I swim and work out almsot every day , after i reached 80kgs and being only 165cm i thought it whas a time to make a change on my lifestyle ...

It sucks to be all muscular though .. every one just takes you as a bully at first sight ... <sigh> but then im just a nerd ... with some crisp on the outside

Gretar

Whats your Body type?

Necron (Very underweight)
Tau (Scrawny and weak)
Eldar (Slim and Fit)
Guardsman (Normal)
Ork (Overweight)
Space Marine (Bodybuilder)
Nurgle Daemon Prince (Obese)

Sadly enough I'm somewhere between Eldar and Necron... (5'6" - 115 - 120 lbs*).

As for athletics, I used to be a competitive ice-dancer (Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know not a macho sport as such, lol) and had to perform a workout that a dimented Russian guy randomly came up with every few days, that made every other fitness class I went look pathetic. Even though I no longer do it, I'm still quite fit for my age (17.8) though my six pack is gone...

And like some people have mentioned No matter what I do, I cannot change my weight.

*Depends whether or not I have just eaten dinner.

I'm 6'3 and 210lbs, which would probably put me in the obese category based on BMI. However, most of that 210lbs is muscle - I do a lot of weight training because I play lots of Rugby and American Football.

I'm kinda built like a linebacker, 6 foot, 235, I run everyday and work at a mattress factory. So that means lifting something like 300-600 beds a day.

I have a shape, people would describe it as "Lumpy". That is all i will say about my shape....

6'6" 240lbs.. train at a Gracie Academy in FL, and used to play football(DE, MLB, and DT), draw your own conclusions.

6'2" 90lbs, I'm an Air Caste Pilot!

More seriously though, I'm 6' and 177-187 (and considered smallish here in the Netherlands Lol.)

Hmm,
does that make you Tau,
I am very very sorry for you

To find the demographic body size of Gamers take the usualy demographic and tilt it slightly to the overweight. In my FLGS most people are Skinny/Normal weight, I'm overweight by about 2 stone or so which is ok I spose, theres maybe about 3 -5 others my size or abit over and then only 1 really big guy, who works there, not attends.

I find more gamers to be underweight than over-weight. In England atleast.

Because all the overweight gamers have moved onto WoW and Halo

A bit underweight myself, always have been. I'm waiting until I turn 30 and my metabolize just STOPS. Oh man I hope it never happens.

I use to say, "No matter how much I exercise I am always going to be 200" I went on Weight Watchers and I am now 170. You really are what you eat. So I think my boss has eaten some chaos meat.

I have been working out pretty hard core for the last year or more (5+ times a week), and I have done nothing but gain weight. I went from being 190lb after a diet, to now being 220lb. I don't eat badly by any stretch, but I do love to have a soda everyday. And I hate NOT being able to eat what I want on occasion. I have a lot more muscle now, but I look like those guys you see in the 'before' pictures now a days for the 'tone up' products. They aren't fat, but they don't have the definition of the 'after' guy. I realize if I go on a diet again, I"ll lose the extra weight and become the 'after' guy. But, I likes me some Dr. Pepper once and while and that's a NO NO!!

I don't really care to be honest. As long as you are healthy, that's all that matters.

Also, you must take a shower.

I'm sadly pretty underweight. I only hit 100 a while back. I don't even know if I'm 100 any more. I was stuck in the 90s area for about 2 or 3 years. I'm really short too. I'm only in the teens though.

Grew up skinny, started working out for work over the last year+. Put other 'cause I'm normal weight, but I don't think that really reflects body type. I'm still skinny, just more buff than before.

Meh...I'm unusual.

At age 14 I'm just over 6' in height. Last I checked I was 130 ibs, but that was five months ago. Grew up an absolute stork, still skinny but at least my arms are a little 'toned' now. (Tae Kwon Do has positive effects on one's physique. I started about 1 year ago, just got my blue belt last week.) I'd guess I'm around 145 pounds now. So I guess I'm underweight.

Last time I bench-pressed I maxed out at 150 ibs. hell, average at my youth group for pressing in my age group is 120-130. It was really fun this one time, a kid my age called me a skinny weakling and challenged me to arm wrestling. I beat the crap out of him--won all 5 rounds

Uncle Sam says im overweight, but i vote normal based on what i consider normal.

I consider myself slightly overweight. I'm 6'2 and 205 - 210. That's probably fairly normal, but i've gotten a bit of a gut which I'm working on. I was up to 235 at the beggining of the year, made some diet adjustments and hit the gym for a few weeks and dropped 25 lbs. I want to get rid of the gut still, but motivation has been an issue.

I'm kinda overweight. 6'4, 195 pounds. I don't really look overweight but I don't have a "beachbody" so to say. I'm still in pretty good condition though. I play soccer, rugby and football. (football coach kinda got pist when i lost 30 pounds over the summer though..). not terribly bad for my age of seventeen, but still i could be in better shape.
