How Much Do You Weigh? For Men Only

[meateater]

5' 8" and 190. I got some catching up to do.

 

[ronp]

Since I started this I guess I should fess up also. A couple years ago I was diagnosed with pre diabetes. I weighed about 215' and I am 6'0.

I did a lot of research on it and decided NO WAY was I going to take the meds and then more meds to combat the other side effects from all the meds combined.

So I went on a crusade to change my habits. No more big meals before bed, maybe a sammie, no sides, I only eat lunch and a late nite snack or sammie.

I am a former brewer and love rich dark german beer and craft brew, lots of calories and carbs. I drink 3 - 4 beers a night, so I did some research on that also. I used to buy Sam Adams, very high in both. I found that Miller light was way lower in both and switched. It tastes like crap but I drink it with v-8 to cover up the taste, lol.

I don't eat many "white" things like potatoes, rice, bread ETC. I love soup and try and eat that for lunch and sometimes dinner, homemade of course. I love chicken so I eat a lot of that smoked, my favorite is thighs cured with TQ.

I just weighed myself and the result was 175'.

I need to get another A1C test as soon as I get some insurance.

Time to figure out the snack for tonight, I had smoked chicken/ wild rice/ mushroom soup the last 2 nights, time for a sammie I think. HMM, turkey, beef, or pork? What a problem to have, huh? All good and home smoked.

I wish you all that are trying to lose weight good results. You can do it!

I'll say!! You are just about the right weight for me to take you to work and dress you out to go into my smoker for a snack!

Just kiddin! I only like Plump juicy snacks!

I need to get back to working out...I'm feeling a little bloated!

I'm 6' 4" 475 lbs.


The fish is holding me!

6'7", 240. I was up to 250 but after knee surgery May 1 I didn't feel like eating much and lost 20 pounds. Went to the doctor two weeks ago and he was impressed that I lost ten pounds. He lost the smile when I said it was 20 a couple of months ago. I think it's the sauces and the sides.

 

[smokingohiobutcher]

AMEN! I'm hopefully gonna die before I get too old, cranky,and am no fun for anyone!

[scottywotty]

I am 50, 6'2" about 250# pretty healthy do alot of spearfishing here in So.Cal. I've got a little belly

, probably could loose about 30-40# any thinner and I would feel anemic. I used to smoke only fish for many years but I am finding I love smoked beef and pork way more! I really should eat more fish though.

This is the correct way to express your weight.

On a resume I write in that I weigh 153 and am 6 feet tall. Looks good huh?

You should always read the fine print.

To put it another way 338 pounds or 153 KG.

 

[freshmeat]

Currently 6'5" and 190 pounds, endurance fitness is my lifestyle. Foodie that is just going nuts over this new found (to me preparing) technique. I am open for all invitations to your 'smokes' to display my hollow legs and highly tuned liver in action

You guys / gals are great...thanks for the help and inspiration.

I was 5'11 and 175 of lean mean skateboarding machine now a fat kid at 225lbs and not stopping there either. The wife just turns to the side and says "See what He did to Me" She's still 120lbs like when I met her.

 

[athabaskar]

A year ago it was 6'2", 255.

Today I'm still 6'2", but down to 196 this morning. There have had to be some beef and pork sacrifices, but I've discovered a new taste for turkey, salmon, and chicken. My BP has reduced from 187/96 to 130/70.

Diet and exercise is the key. Use EVOO instead of butter. Simple stuff like that.

Oh, and thank you Nintendo for wii Fit, and EA Sports for Active. I can work out at home in my skivvies, which a year ago was a heinous sight. Now it's just borderline hideous.
