Then, the combination of entering my early 30's and being "well-fed" helped me to shoot up to a whopping 210 by y2k! For the first time in my life I had to diet. Lost about 5 lbs and then started karate. I've been doing that pretty hardcore for a little over 2 yrs. I'm down to 180 lbs. My gut is almost gone, my arms and legs are bigger. I feel great. That said, I think we are a nation of fatties. It's easy to get fat when you have a "desk job" or "studio job" in my case, plus are exposed to plenty of food. Food didn't get me fat. I got me fat. I also got myself thin again. Getting thin again was real hard though, but I appreciate it more!

Rog Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Ten years ago I was 6'2" and 200 lbs. Now I'm 5'5" and 200lbs. I don't know what the hell happened :D "That's what the internet is for.

ulven Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 [quote]Originally posted by jla@hib.no: [b]it is true. the teenagers especially are noticeable getting fatter and fatter here in norway. when i was that age i remember 1 overweight girl in my entire class... and now they are all tubbyflabbies.[/b][/quote]This is true for Sweden as well. I also had ONE overweight person in my class. And the funny thing is, when you look at the photo of my class the person was not THAT overweight by todays standards. Today, almost half of a class look like beachballs, the other half of that half would have been considered fat 25 years ago, and the rest is skinny or normalweight. But is it surprising considering their soda and fatburger diets given to them by their equally fat parents in front of the holy tv? If you check out WHOs website you´ll see that they are calling it an epidemic. http://www.twendysplace.co.nz/smilies/buttong.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhcomp45aol.com Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 I'm facinated by how people can gain huge amounts of weight in a few years time. At 48+ I'm 5'11" and 160lbs. In Feb 73 I weighed 153 according to my old draft card. I dont get enough exercise and eat about 4000 calories a day and still can't gain a pound. Paul.

DC Posted September 12, 2003 Author Share Posted September 12, 2003 Well, I'm 5'9" and I feel and look as best as I can at around 165. Right now I'm a bit over 180. I guess my problem is that my girlfriend is an exerciseaholic. She's 5'5" and maybe 100 pounds soaking wet. She works out for two hours anywhere from 3 to 6 days a week. High Impact aerobics, and we've got a room in our house with weight machine, treadmill, stationary bike, Total Gym, etc. I ride the bike occationally but not as much as I should. I sit in front of a computer too many hours too. Thing is if you've ever lived with someone who regularly works out, you'll know they can eat a lot at a sitting. My tiny sweetie can keep up with me easily. Another problem is that we tend to fast or have tiny meals during the day and pig out come suppertime. This is not good. I drink too regularly as well and that's a lot of sugar without even considering sweets. Back when I was gigging 6 nights a week, I never had a bit of trouble with weight. In fact on Korean tours, I got down to probably 155 or so. I think jumping around on stage with an instrument straped on and singing are fantastic exercises. Oh well, my new part time job has me walking a bunch more and moving heavy packages. I will get back into my 30" waist jeans (of which I have a ton of pairs) and out of these 31" 'fat pants' one of these days. Just need to be very careful during the Bermuda Triangle (Turkey Day through X-Mass). :p -David http://www.garageband.com/artist/MichaelangelosMuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFOracle Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 I'm sure few of you can relate to this, but I'm 6'1" and I weigh about 155lbs on a "heavy" day. I eat like a horse, workout irregularly and I'm 40 years old in a couple of months. My dad was built the same (he is taller at about 6'5") but he put on 50 - 60 lbs after age 35. I'm hittin 40 soon and still barely leave a shadow. I simply can't put on weight. We went on a cruise last spring. My wife shunned the dessert bar, ate salads and pounded the treadmill everyday and gained 7lbs. I pigged out and lounged in the pool and gained nothing. If I really get lazy, I can put on a bit of a belly, but my weight doesn't change - it just collects on my tummy. I hate the "egg on toothpicks" look (and my father has heart disease) so I ride my bike as much as possible to stay fit. Our country is not the only thing to which we owe our allegiance.

Wanta know my shoe size? :D Actually I'm afraid to step on a scale right now, but Erik says I'm not fat, I'm stocky, yeah, I like that. Thing is, I'm not too worried about being overweight, because I know how to lose it, because I've done it before, so one day soon I'll be back to 165 to 175 lbs.

But first I have to slim down enough just to get my fat pants on. Dammit! I wear my weight well because I am 6'1" and large boned. But that can also be bad since you can gain a lot of weight before you can really notice it. I could lose 15 or 20 pounds, and you'd never know it.

Super 8 Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 I'd also like to point out that according to our little poll here, we are NOT a 'nation of fatties'. Either that, or a lot of you people are minimalizing... What ever gave me the impression that musicians are unhealthy??? Or maybe it's only the Rappers that are fat -er...make that phat?
