5'3 and waigh 52kg..... hehe, but im a sprinter, so there goes my excuse, less waight means more speed(less to carry)

I wonder how many people put normal weight and there really overwieght or obese...

I'm overweight...always have been since going to uni. Trying to lose it now though. Stopped having McD's for breakfast, I walk between my schools instead of grabbing a taxi, we have homemade dinners instead of takeaways now, etc.

oh yeah, Im just under 6' and 80 kg. Trying to get down to 70-75.

where is the option for fit? or athletic?

Where is the option for brain floating in a jar? strapped into a robot?

Normal is subjective and those BMI things are a big joke IMHO. Great way to stereotype health in general.

Having a few extra pounds doesn't make you overweight or skinny, or even normal for that matter. Different races have varied frames, and established dieting "guidelines". Some people are naturally allergic to milk, some cant eat oranges, lots can't eat nuts.

I am glad to see some people are being honest :3

Of course, me being Ye Olde evile trolle I am 4' 7" and 567lb

I fixed that for ya!

Thanks!

I'm 6'6" and 260, so according to my job standards I'm overweight, so that's what I voted. But I do balanced workouts 8 times a week and don't have too much of a belly, so I'm not sure exactly where I fall.

Fit. Or rather large and muscular. Not cut but you can imagine.

I'm 240 pnds and 5 feet and 8 inches. So slightly over weight

I would say VERY overweight, if you are only 5.8 Inches. Or is that a different part you are talking about?

Dang, that would be uncomfortable...have to hire somebody to carry it, methinks!

I'm bout 155 I work out quite often. Lets just say my body type is nothing like the other gamers haha. I am in pretty good shape and if you met me on the street probly wouldn't think I played alot of Warhammer.

I am a mesomorphic endomorph.

I am about average weight, more so to underweight. I think. Does a 8pack count as buff ?

6' and between 172-175 depending on the day of the week or time of day. I stay in good health, the Navy makes me prove it every six months.

I plumped for Average Weight.

Mind you, according to some Doctors, my hefty frame (I'm 6'3") should be weighing around 12 stone. To which I say nonsense. I'm around 15, with only a smallish belly on me.

So yeah, arguably overweight, but without appearing to be fat. Hence, average.

I chose normal as at 6'2 210 LBS (how many stones is that ) and wide build I am just about right. I will say however that my Beer and Starbucks diet is turning my 6 pack slowly into a keg

just checked on an online converter...about 95 kg.

7 stone, and im 14, so i think im under weight for my age.

6ft, around 18stone 12lbs, so definately obese atm, however I have dropped 6pounds in the last couple of months as I'm finally trying to do a 5day excercise program.

With too small un's didn't want to miss out on them because I was getting too big to walk around with them.

Think I need to loose 7 stone for my ideal weight for height. Bit of a task, but for the first time in years I actually want to do something about my weight, not just paying lip service to the idea I want to do something.

For US readers, 1 stone = 14lbs

I remember when I first encountered stones. I was so confuse, I thought you just got a bunch of stones and used them to weigh people compared to stones. I was younger then of course. Looking back it was pretty funny.

I put normal weight. I'm very thin though, lithe even. I'm six one but I weight 175. It's exactly where I should be on the BMI. But I work out pretty often, not a lot of weights but I run at least six and a half or seven miles four nights a week and occasionally do some weights. When people pick me up they often tell me I am very light. But I feel like they are just trying to flatter me.

I have always disregarded my weight entirely, so I had to go check. 150 lbs and about 5 feet 9 inches
I've got a little belly, but it doesn't stick out too far, my girlfriend assures me I'm not as fat as her brother, and from what I've seen he's a stick...so meh, no clue. I just put normal, most people have a bit of a belly anyway...

As per Tyfe, I would have picked athletic, as fitness is very important to me, I run marathons and play ice hockey at national level.

I didnt pick normal, due to spending at least 2-3 hours day doing some form of training.

Squidlike.

I put normal though I fall somewhere in between athletic and normal. I do alot of running, or sports, and a little weightlifting now and then.

Wow, all these 'normal' sized people must be out at the gym when I go to a LGS and see a variety of largish fellas extolling the dietary virtues of eating 10 burritos off some value menu


Honestly though, I think the aspect of having to stand around a table keeps the stereotyped D&D/MTG players away from 40k. If someone is just really lazy, they'll play something that they can sit on their butt throughout.
