Title: Weight
Post by: Cecilia Peromi on December 13, 2015, 04:47:46 PM
I didn't see a thread like this so I made one. I know talking about weight can be uncomfortable for some, but this is a judgement free zone, immaturity will not  be tolerated by me or the mods.

 How much do you weigh? Are you comfortable with your weight? would you prefer to weigh more or less and why? Please don't be shy. I don't bite.

I'm not entirely sure what I weigh, but I know I'd like to be a bit bulkier. I'm currently on the lean side which annoys me a tad to be honest

Me too, I'm a stick at only 110 pounds. I'd like to be bigger, just a little bit.

125 pounds, last I checked. Nothing too notable. I wouldn't mind gaining a few more pounds, but it's not necessarily a priority for me.

I'm looking for that sweet spot. The point where I'm big but not unhealthy. It's hard to achieve though, since I'm naturally thin.

My weight tend to jump around and between 60-65kg (132-143 pounds according to some converter on google.)
Which leaves me with a healthy BMI of ~20, so in that sense my weight is "perfect"


I'm slightly round-ish, mostly/only in the stomach-area. Not exactly what I'd personally call "fat", but some extremely shallow and immature people have tried to convince me otherwise for most of my life. I used to have tons of issues with that when I was younger.
These days I've gotten over most of that tho and realized that I'm good enough the way I am. Because on the other hand, I've also had people tell me they love hugging me because I'm so soft and squishy. I'm still not too comfortable with wearing tight shirts and stuff like that tho, but I'm slowly getting there too.


So all in all, I guess I'm pretty happy with my weight/size ^^'

I can cofirm that soft and squishy people are amazing to hug.

I'm 150ish right now, but I've lost quite a bit of weight in the past year because I actually tried exercising and I went vegan.
 I don't think I'm fat, but I'm not very happy with my weight either.
Though I have to say my image of m body has gotten a lot better than it has been.

I'm about 240 right now.  I don't have a specific weight that I want to be since I believe that weight is not the determining factor in what is healthy.  I want to bulk up and be less pudgy but the weight itself doesn't matter to me since muscle has more weight than fat.

My main reasons for wanting to be muscular is so that I can be healthier and not have my body keep me from doing what I want to do.

Thats one reason I'd like to gain weight. I want more squish.

Last time I officially checked, I was 235 lbs., but I'm sure I'm much heavier now. I'm guessing 260-280, but I wear my weight pretty well. It's a bit hard to tell by looks.
I like being chubby, but I do feel I need to lose a bit of fat. Being overweight isn't unhealthy, being too overweight is unhealthy; in the fat sense, anyway. I'm less concerned with losing weight and more with getting more muscle/strength to even things out. Gaining muscle helps lose excess fat, too.

was 180, to 200, and its going up and up (210 right now I believe). I was fine with it for a while but now I feel like its going to be an issue if i keep getting bigger, + I prefer to have a much slimmer/(feminine?) body.
Title: Re: Weight
Post by: McCloud on December 13, 2015, 11:59:02 PM
Well, I weigh about 180 lb last time I checked. I'm perfectly fine with my weight and probably wouldn't bother trying to lose any unless my weight started reaching unhealthy levels.
Title: Re: Weight
Post by: Cecilia Peromi on December 14, 2015, 12:05:52 AM
That's what I'm worried about. I want to gain weight but I also don't want to compromise my health.
Title: Re: Weight
Post by: Ræfóa Aldrnari on December 14, 2015, 09:14:25 AM
Well, last time, I checked 163 pounds.
Well, I'm also pretty tall, so...
Title: Re: Weight
Post by: The Past on December 14, 2015, 09:28:35 AM
I probably should have mentioned, I'm 5'4. The height on my profile is my character's, of course.

Post by: Alistair on December 14, 2015, 10:59:36 AM
I weigh in at about the 175-180lb range.

I'm about 230 IRL. Curse this large frame -.-
Title: Re: Weight

That's not so bad to me. I wish I was bigger, around the 200's.

I would happily trade XD though having a barrel chest and shoulders is nice some times >.>
Title: Re: Weight
Post by: Cecilia Peromi on December 14, 2015, 05:11:20 PM
I bet so, I'm a stick. Only about 110-120 lbs. I'm naturally on the light side. The heaviest I've been was in the 150 range, and I could barely notice it.
Title: Re: Weight
Post by: Cecilia Peromi on December 14, 2015, 05:39:11 PM
I've never been comfortable with my body. Whether it was, my gender or my weight or my face. (I had back acne once.) It's been rough for me. Buy I'm trying to make things better, it's just hard because I'm not independent. I don't control my meals or my activity level. I'm stuck with what I have. I've been stuck for a very long time.
Title: Re: Weight
Post by: Ræfóa Aldrnari on December 14, 2015, 05:41:46 PM
I know the feeling *pats your back* I've also been somewhat unconfident with my body for a while. But, I'm actually feeling better about it now. And you should too ^_^
Title: Re: Weight
Post by: Cecilia Peromi on December 14, 2015, 05:47:16 PM
It's not really a confidence thing. It's more like I'm in a body I just don't want.
Title: Re: Weight
Post by: Rho'Syn Ilwynog on December 14, 2015, 05:48:08 PM
I feel you. As I have suffered body dysphoria for a long while I know how you feel
Title: Re: Weight
Post by: Cecilia Peromi on December 14, 2015, 05:52:57 PM
How did you get past it? Or do you still feel it a little?
Title: Re: Weight
Post by: The Past on December 14, 2015, 06:00:18 PM
I'm content with my body for the most part (would prefer to look a little more male-ish, tbch, but it's not huge deal to me overall). I'm more concerned with the health part than the look when it comes to my weight.
Title: Re: Weight
Post by: Rho'Syn Ilwynog on December 14, 2015, 06:02:03 PM
I still deal with it all the time, just I get to work with it. Since my IRL body is male, I just see myself as a female who is able to experience the world through a male's eyes.


Mainly I consider myself Bigender, my internal gender of female and my physical gender of male.
Title: Re: Weight
Post by: Cecilia Peromi on December 14, 2015, 06:08:46 PM
That's me, I've never been happy with my body. I wish a was a big girl, but I'm the complete opposite, a skinny boy. I wish you good luck in the future Syn. I hope you can achieve what you're looking for.
Title: Re: Weight
Post by: The Past on December 14, 2015, 06:10:19 PM
That's an interesting way to think about it, Syn.

Since this topic is about weight and it's in the general board, it might be best to move the gender dysphoria discussion to a new thread.

Those threads do tend to get drama-bombed because of people on all sides of the issue getting too heated, but I feel such a discussion should be allowed as long as it remains civil. If someone decides to make it, I will be sure to keep a close watch.
Title: Re: Weight
Post by: Cecilia Peromi on December 14, 2015, 06:15:04 PM
Ok Evna, sorry we got off topic. Is there a dysphoria thread? If not, where would I put it?

It's alright. :3

You can post it in the general board.

I'm about 240 lbs, though because of my height and build, I don't look fat, save for the belly bump and chin/neck. It's something I'm working on trying to bring down to a respectable 200 lbs, which is where I feel I need to be.
Title: Re: Weight
Post by: HyenaKing on December 20, 2015, 02:59:54 AM
I'm 200 ibs, but it's mostly solid muscle. The extra fat is mostly just rounding out; concealing the fact I have muscles.

I am almost 6' tall and I'm about 190 lbs, I wouldn't say I'm fat, but I'm not particularly skinny either. I am curvy however (actually curvy with big hips and thighs) and I take pride in it. My friends call me soft and I like that :3 it means I'm fun to hug and to cuddle with ^~^ so I'm perfectly ok with my weight.
Title: Re: Weight
Post by: Kayte on December 21, 2015, 02:12:35 AM
I'm overweight and while I used to be pretty uncomfortable about it, drawing my fursona similarly to my body type helps me feel better about it. I weigh around 220-240 despite efforts I've made to cut back on eating and exercise. It's been awhile since I've had a weigh in however, and I think I may have lost some of it.


Just a cat with a big heart and a soft tummy!

Sorry to say, but my body is pretty unremarkable. This could be a good thing, or a bad thing. It depends on your point of view on the subject.
Title: Re: Weight
Post by: Honey Bun on December 28, 2015, 04:27:26 AM
I'm- ugh- a little over 200lbs, last time I checked.

I don't care about the weight of others. Skinny people are great, bigger people are great, all the people in-between are great. I just don't like me and MY weight.

I'm chubby, but not extremely so. And it's mostly in my torso. I'm a bit heavier than I was as a teen.... I'm not sure how to fix it. I've heard a million different things. I wanna eat healthier, but my food options are limited (I can only buy a little bit of stuff,  and I have almost no room for it). I wanna exercise, but even if I figure out the best way to do it, my asthma makes it difficult.  And then I think to myself- what's so horrible about my body now anyway? Is it really so fat and ugly?

My mom and dad constantly tell me I'm gonna be fat forever, and criticize everything I try, no matter what it is. *sigh*

So I'm stuck for now, I guess. >.>

Now I have a more exact number to give: 59.84kg.
I wasn't too far off with my "Around and between 60-65kg" estimate after all xP
