| There are people who are jealous of my eating habits. I can eat whatever I want as often as I want and I stay at 140lbs. consistently. I never exercise or work out but I still manage the same weight. Being 5'9" 140lbs at 21 years old seems good.
That was a few months ago. Now I exercise regularly and eat healthy and I am still at 140lbs. I don't feel any stronger or thinner; I have no noticable added muscle mass. I can't seem to outgrow my body. Basically this thread is about workout habits. I'd like to know what you do to keep in shape so maybe I can try out different methods to see if it works for me. I'll start with my own daily routine. Everyday I do at least 150 push-ups and as many sit-ups (spread throughout the day) and I run a half mile roughly three times a week. |

| I, uh, *cough* don't really work out.
And it shows, as I'm not really the fittest gal you'll ever see. I'm not too extreme, but... I could do with more exercise. I do have a job, so at least I'm not sitting on my ass all day. 
When I played softball, we'd have practices 3-4 nights a week, and games on the weekends (usually double-headers, sometimes tournaments that meant 3-4 games a day). That kept me pretty well in shape (I was satisfied, at least), not to mention PE at school. I don't really do weights, though... that's not my thing. |

| I have a real thin frame that I also can't outgrow; so I'm in a similar boat with you, except I'm a bit taller. Mostly, I just lift free weights three or four times a week, do 100 situps during those days, and also work in some pull-ups. I'm 18 and still not 150, yet I'm over 6 foot. It's crazy. |

| I'm kind of the same. I'm 5'10"; I was 155 pounds after three years of no physical activity. I was 155 pounds after biking 25km a day for three months. I'm 155 pounds after another couple months of that plus heavy core workouts 3 times a week (climbing). Apparently this is the weight I get to be. | |||

| I used to be squishy and weak, and then I improved my diet and took up weight lifting. Now I have above average muscle mass and below average bodyfat, and my body type is what people generally consider to be "athletic-looking". My workout routines always include challenging resistance training, whether it be weight lifting or tough calisthenics. I'm currently working on dropping some bodyfat (I want to see how lean I can get without going batty), so I'm doing more cardio than usual.
The exact days of the week may be fudged a bit in either direction (for instance, I might do the first workout on Sunday instead of Monday), but the general structure of each week is the same. Monday - Round and Round, cardio Wednesday - 5x5 squat pyramid (working up to a 5-rep max over 5 sets, increasing the weight for the next workout if you got all 5 reps at the top weight in one go), cardio Friday - Round and Round, cardio One of my goals is to be able to complete the Round and Round workout with no broken sets. The best I've ever done in that regard is gotten through the round of 7 without stopping for rest. I still work past the point where I need to take breaks (which are always in the yoga and funky pushup sets), and I'm currently adding more and more of the round of 9. I can't handle long sets of chin-ups yet, but I can do a total of about 11 in each workout. Cardio consists of getting on the elliptical machine and hauling ass for 1.5 to 2 miles. Sometimes it's more steady-state, sometimes I do interval sprints, but in any case, I try to match or beat the paces I've set at previous workouts, and if I'm still feeling energetic, I'll add a small amount of distance. I push myself pretty hard but never to the point of getting dizzy or puking. Also, I'm 5'8" and 150-155 pounds, but I'm more concerned with my bodyfat percentage than my scale weight. I haven't actually gotten that measured, but I can tell when it drops because I have more muscle definition. I keep track of my body measurements, too. My hip size is a good indicator of whether I've gained or lost bodyfat. (edited by Rydain on 07-24-06 07:15 AM) |

| Eh, I'm stuck at around 120-130. My weight has never left that range, and I'm 5'9", a guy, and 17. *Shrugs*
Sometimes I'll be in a period of a month or two of heavy workouts, doing a sport like Tennis or Track. Then the rest of the time, I'm pretty lazy. I notice no difference, to be honest. It just doesn't hurt as much to jog half a mile, heh. |

| Ah yes. My metabolism is at the speed of light in this body.
I'm 5'6", weigh around 115-120 lbs and that seems to be the limit. I have muscles, and I have a low percent of body fat, what I do need is more mass to this body to turn it into more muscle. I was obviously more active in High School. Not so much now. I have taken a long hiatus from working out to which I may return soon enough. Once I start weight lifting again I'll probably gain a few more pounds due to how much food consumption I would need to have to keep me going. |

I hate you all. 
5'10", 239 lbs. now. Thanks to diet and (not so much now, due to a raging case of poison ivy) exercise, I've dropped 14 lbs. but I'm trying to get down around 180. I've just got to get back on the workout regimen, but I've been losing lately, so that's good.  |

| Last time I stood on a scale I was 161.5. At my heaviest, a few years ago, I was about 180. I'm pretty sure I weigh less now, 'cos, well, I don't eat much anymore (I'm on the poverty diet!), but then again, back when I was eating right and excerising, I still never dropped below 161.5...Man, was that ever infuriating! You'd think I'd at least vary by half a pound, but nooooo, there was always that .5! Little snot nosed decimal, always pointing and laughing, I'd like to teach him a thing or two about fractions! | |||

| I'm currently at 210 or thereabouts. I usually do high weight, low rep exercises and try to do as much cardio as I can before I drop. During the school year I do rowing and rugby and that keeps me pretty good. Unfortunately there are no gyms near my home that I can attend economically during the summer months (100 bucks a month? Fuck that shit). So I usually just do some pushups and situps every day. I work about 8 km from my house and jog home from work which is completely up hill (...I bus in the morning...). I also found about 60 lbs of plate weight and a decent bar to put the plates on. I use it to work my triceps, shoulders, biceps, and so on.
Based on pure measurements I have a 45 inch chest and other similar measurements. I mean, I'm not a small guy. I'm around 5 10 5 11 6 foot or so. So, right now I'm out of shape as hell.I normally have a 12% or lower body fat percentage. It is probably far higher right now. |

| I have no idea how much I weigh, all I know is it's a tiny bit more than I'd like to, but doesn't seem to be going up or down. I should work out, but I need to find time first. |

| I don't work out much these days. Haven't gone to the gym in about half a year. I'm a bit out of shape and it sucks. I need to get back into good habits.
I'm 5'9.5" and about 160 pounds. I'm certainly not flabby, but I don't have a lot of definition anymore and three miles would kill me. When I'm in decent shape I usually run 2 miles every couple of days and do 150 push-ups and anywhere between 600-1000 crunches a night, depending on how sore I am. For my upper body I do the total gym and then curls with barbells untill my arms hurt. In high school I ran track and cross country. The 2 mile is my favorite run. Christmas ruined me though. Too much food and laziness. For the past several years I've depended on horribly unhealthy eating habits to keep the weight off. Not that I really have weight to lose. I'm seriously considering getting some counselling for my bulimia, but I hate shrinks and think that 75% of psychology/pshychiarty is bullshit... |

| When I came back from college I weighed 170, and I stand a little under 6 feet tall. 5' 11.5", if you will.
Then I got curious earlier this summer and looked up my BMI. It was 23.7. 25 is where overweight starts, 18.5 is where underweight starts. It should be fairly accurate for me, as I don't have much muscle on my frame. I've started eating less and healthier, and because of it I'm down to 162 pounds as of now. That's a 22.6 BMI. I'm shooting for being inbetween of 155-160, a BMI of about 21.9. It's not that I just starved myself... It's about making a healthy change. I used to snack when I was bored, and eat stupid shit like Doritos or whatever. Now I mostly eat deli meats, sandwiches, cereal... Things like that. And I only eat when I'm hungry. It's making a big difference. I don't know how I'm going to stay on the diet when I go back to college, as the food there... Well, it sucks and it's bad for you to boot. As of now I plan to eat as many turkey sandwiches as I can and just hope my weight stays even. Need to make up calories for the beer, too 
As for exercise... I like to play sports, so that's usually where I got that from. Considering I got the fucking shit knocked out of me last time I did that, I'm gonna start thinking about a more conventional exercise routine. |

6' 0" and a solid 180lbs... closer to 6' 1" though 
Im still thin as a straw though so I dont know. For exercise... I ride my bike, head to the pool, find an arcade and hit the DDR machine, go laser tagging... Just, everything that is fun and I can bear to do for a while that is physically engaging, I will
Im perfectly happy with my body though. I can run a mile under 8 min (7:30 last time I checked) stretch a fair bit, hang on the bar for a while (1 Minute), do a fair amount of push ups, good number of curlups in a minute. (57 last time I checked) It isnt the body of a star athelete, and sure, by all standards, I could afford to be like, what, 5 pounds lighter, but Im fine with what I have. |

| I think I'm moderately unfit at the moment. At least, I certainly feel that way, but then I've just had the flu and that can make you feel crappy for weeks...
About the most exercise I do is walking. I walk / catch public transport pretty much everywhere, which means I walk a fair bit. I also try to take the stairs at lunchtime at work (although have not done recently due to flu). And I play a dancing game (not DDR unfortunately... can't seem to get that anywhere....) too from time to time. In the past 15 months, I've lost 24kg (52.91 lbs). Mostly through changing my diet from one less saturated in chocolate to a more balanced diet, and more exercise. I currently weigh 64kg (141 lbs). This is not however my goal weight -- I want to get down to around 57kg (125 lbs), but I'll see when I get closer.... I'm moderately short, at 163cm high (5' 4"), and I think according to BMI, 57kg is about right smack dab in the middle of the healthy weight range, which is why I'm aiming for that... I know BMI doesn't mean a whole lot -- but it's not too bad as a rough guide, and at the very least it gives me a loose goal. The number though I suspect won't mean much as I get closer to it -- the real goal is actually to eliminate my acid reflux symptoms and hopefully also the pain from my nonexistent ovary. Both problems have been pointed out to me as possibly caused by my weight. However, as a "goal" goes -- something to work towards -- this is kinda hazy, so I've gone with a number for now and I'll see how things go.
The skinniest that BMI thing reckons I can go is 49kg (108 lbs)  I don't think I've weighed that little outside of high school!! It's ridiculous! |

| Funny, recently I started to bicycle alot on a training bicycle. I do at least 20 KM a day in around a hour or so, I plan to increase the speed when my muscles catch up. xD Funny how my muscles gives up faster than my lungs when bicycling.
I can't give a accurate weight though, as the weighing scale seems to be broken. According to it, I lost 10-15 KG in a week... which can't be accurate. xD Other family members have noticed it's inaccuracy, so I guess we have to get a new one *shrug*. I eat a little less than before, but i'm hardly starving. I would be 125 KG currently according to it, but I kinda suspect it's a bit little more. But I already had noticeable effects, I feel much healthier and my heartburns are much rare. Last time I had a heartburn was from me not eating enough. xD For a month ago or so, I had them constantly. :/ |
