I'm currious how many people are lying on this thread. Just cause I know people would.

... and I don't get fat, I got a gut once, and it looked like an olive on a stick. Lol I have never lived that down... but sports does wonders

This is the intarweb. Everybody should be a 6' 220# rock.

I wash myself with a rag on a stick.

Heh, I'm 240lbs and 6ft tall. I used to be around 340lbs, but I have an incredibly physical job and have lost almost 100lbs in about a year.

Im 6'2 and 135 pounds. I'm quite underweight.

Dude, do you disappear when you turn sideways?

That's unhealthy skinny.

I'll have to settle for "normal."

Anyway, I don't know if this is true or not but, how many people are going to admit they are "morbidly obese"?

I can't wait for the "Hey female gamers what is your cup size" poll...

Yeah... That'd be just lovely...

</sarcasm>

lol

I'd be cool with that.

Sorry, I didn't mean that to be hurtful, just playing up the interweb size stuff.

Sorry again.

Its kay.

Im heavy for my age (79 kgs) but not exactly fat broad sholders and dense build help towards that

BMI is apparently 20.2, according to the NHS site. Though I am a scrawny little fether, really....

6'3" 350ish I am fat diabetic and it sucks royally. Why does bad food taste good.

174 cms. 96 kilos. 30% Body Fat. Thats medically 'Obese' which is what Ive selected - but I dont struggle to sit in chairs, or walk around, so most people would consider this overweight.

I do personal training at least once a week, but cos I focus on weights, Ive tended to build muscle and strength, not lose weight. I can bench 75 Kilos, and am out of breath after 3 flights of stairs!

Ah well, 10 months to lose the weight before the wedding...

Nice pick darkkt,
I think people don't really understand what overweight is.

5'11" and 74kg about,
a little overweight (as I am not that built) but I am fairly athletic (Tae Kwon Do, Tennis and Basketball).

If you have a gut you are overweight, Not normal!!!
(Normal is not way too skinny and definitely not fat - I don't mean 6 pack, but come on guys, if you can afford to loose 5-10kgs weight you are OVERWEIGHT)

If you have tire around your waist (albeit a small one) you are obese medically. 30% is obese medically , well for guys at least (And I am surprised how many guys think they are ok). It's really easy to get here!!

If you have more than this,
you are morbidly obese.

When over 40% of the US and Also Australia are obese I cannot Imagine that people really have a good idea what obese is if we only have 8% obese or higher. That's just not true!!

I wish it was,
But it's not. :(

I'll admit I'm over weight but I'm working on it.

Where was i? ah yes, bah, were fat too technicaly, but thats ment to be liver poisoning.... too much whisky!

actually most people are around 18-22 percent bodyfat. If you have 7 i think you should know that fact.

ftw

5'8" about 150 pounds. I used to be fat. Yah eating disorder!

5'9", 175 lbs. Not great, but not fat either. I got my leg messed up in the Army and can't run for the rest of my life (my leg will shatter if I do), so keeping weight off has been a challenge not at all helped by having to eat Army chow while sitting immobile in a hospital for 6 months. I do miss my 6-pack...

Pre-army, it was 5'9", and 160 lbs.

Im 6 foot 1 inches with a weight of just over 11 stone
thus my BMI is around 20/21 (a healthy BMI is 20 to 25, its its under 20 your underweight and its its over 25 your overweight) so i consider myself to be average weight.

Dispite this i used to be quite fat, giving me lots of goddamn loose skin that hides my manly muscles

I weigh a bit more than average, but I have a lot more muscle than fat...now that i think about it, why do I even play warhammer? I could be out there getting popular

Necron (Very underweight)
Tau (Scrawny and weak)
Eldar (Slim and Fit)

Always been skinny, working to always stay skinny.

I'm REALLY interested to see if there are any folks built like body builders who are gamers....I mean, just because, really!

.... here you go. 5'8", 220lbs, but I'm a power lifter and I end up spending 15-20 hours a week in the gym. My BMI puts me in the obese range, so I put myself down as one of those.

Using the link from AgeofEgos, my BMI is 15.5 (48kg, 1.76m)
Uh-oh.

I'm 6'2 and 220 lbs (100kg) - I'm overweight by the BMI, but my arms and legs are like Conan limbs due to working out and my past employment...mostly past employment. I have a gut that's pretty repulsive to most chicks...one chick in particular...my wife. My moobs are like a 52 A cup. I used to be a beachball with flippers I was so fat before (135kg). My suggestion to everyone who sweats when they walk down stairs, throw the Coke out for one month and walk everywhere. You'll lose weight and feel better.

Whatever a fairly fit rugby player is shaped like.

6'3", 265 lbs....kind of a point-down triangle with legs?

I'm ex military... definitely not overweight yet. Maybe in a few more years as my body lets go... but not yet!

I'm sure most people will fit into either the "overweight" or "underweight" category. A look at my FLGS suggests the overweights are the adults/extra late teens and the underweights are the 8-year-olds.

i agree with some people are lying, but only with overweight, not underweight.

p.s: i would put the percentage closer to 40%.

p.p.s: i am one of the 60%.
