I am somewhat like a shaved bear. I am large but not morbidly obese/obese. More of overweight, tall, and very mean looking.

6 foot 4 and only 145 pounds, I'm technically underweight for my height. My metabolism will slow down some day, though, and I'll probably reach a normal weight for my height.

Wow Swift! You sound like my nephew--he's about 6'2" and 120-130 pounds. I think that if he could pick up enough running speed he can lift off and glide some.

I'm 6' and 170 lbs.

So skinny you can see my ribs.

i'm 5'10", 75kg and about 8% body fat. Having said that, my free time is mostly about working out, so my painting skills are nowhere near what i'd like them to be...

I'm overweight, to be sure. But I'm one of the lucky overweight guys who happens to carry his weight well. Joining a gym and getting some workout supplements hasn't hurt either.

As for general body shape - let's just say there's a reason why I have an affinity for Dwarves in anything fantasy.

5'11", 180 lbs. Probably should be about 170, but in well into my 30s, so the extra around the mid section has started.

6'6'' and 180 pounds, just about normal weight I suppose

Im actually pretty fit but there's always room for improvement. I go to the gym 5 days a week and spend an average of 2 hours each day there. Of course I really dont fit any gamer stereotype there is out there. If you looked at me you wouldnt think I was a gamer but deep down im a nerd at heart.

I've got a healthy 2-3 inches of fat on my 6' frame, but only in the torso area. I eat when I'm hungry, I don't when I'm not, snack on vegetables and fruits more often than not (except chocolate. That stuff's awesome) and I'm not afraid to sprint or powerwalk (though I'm not really an endurance runner- never have been). I'd probably be considered pretty handsome in a Hunter-gatherer society, but in the modern, food a-plenty society, I'm just a bit overweight.

But a healthy overweight. I've got dense bones, too.

I'm a bit overweight (Sitting at 6'1", 230 lbs. currently), but I carry my weight pretty well. I have a bit of flab here and there, but you can still see my ribcage (it's the strangest thing). I just started dieting and excercising again, though, and I'm looking to get down to about 180 again.

i actually go fitnessing and cycling/running and I can say i am in good shape.. At least my girlfriend doesn't complain

Vin Diesel plays D&D, does he count ?

He is trying hard to qualify, see the double chin he is growing from the Fast and Furious V trailers.

I am a little overweight, but it's not from gaming. My infernal anti-depresants have amde me gain 40lbs over the past year. I exercise twice a day 5 days a week (yay military).

Always been skinny, working to always stay skinny.

Well I'm in the Navy ad spend a lot of time in the gym, so I guess you could say I was very well put together. One of the guys in the joint Force Harrier Wargames Club is bigger than me [in a Chuck Norris kinda way] so yes, yes there are.

^^what he said pretty much... I'm a skin headed Matlot on the outside [100% nerd on the inside ]

5'11"

185LB

10% body fat

I work pretty hard to stay in shape. The real key to a Herculean frame is to play swarm armies so your hands are always filled with a heavy helping of dice. That and only play with metal minis because plastic is for weaklings and small children.

I was a serious weight-lifter right up until I got sick (MS). I ran three miles every day, swam and played racquetball frequently, and could bench 215. I even played local league hockey. At that point I weighed between 185 and 190 lbs, in a good way. Since getting sick, though, I'm like the Incredible Shrinking Man, and I'm starting to get moobs (while my six-pack is slowly being hidden away by a dickie-doo). If anyone out there wants to start, just remember that that's what happens when you stop...

According to the BMI thing I am normal weight, leaning towards underweight. So I put in normal weight.

People I work with just say "big" I wouldn't say Im fat or skinny.

IM normal weight. if a bit skinny. occasionaly underweight.

Between working out, airsoft, and my addiction to beer, I stay at a normal physical condition

...damned alcohol making me gain weight

I walk to and from school every morning, somthing ive recently started doing, and i`ve found it actually helps!

(Its about 1.5 miles each way)

Im in rather good shape, Im tall and dont have any excess fat on me, althou I did have before*shudderd* but now I acctualy have the beginning of a six pack

~6ft i may even be 6'1''.
Just under eleven stone. I think that is below median but within a standard deviation.

I have a swimmers physique however so have slightly wider hips than average, making me slightly uncomfortable about my body. If i pull my hardest 'Muscle gurn' my muscles even look quite imtimidating but i get light headed after about 5 seconds haha...

I'm slightly overweight, but also work out hard and am very muscular. I just eat to much lol.

66% Of Warhammer players are Average weight or Under? Hahahaha! bs! That's better than the national average! Either we are all deluded or feel like we must lie about our weight online!

I'm 6'3 and weight 165 lbs. I'm 5% body fat. I am dark eldar.

6'1 75kgs fat people need to be put to death before they eat us all...

according to my last BMI im obese. at 178cm and 82kg i make the ground shake when i walk.

I have the BMI of a 6' 7" male, too bad I'm 5' 11".
