232 lbs, 6'2"....gotten fat from lack of exercise and desk job, but I can still pass my employer's physical fitness test!!! (which isn't saying much, trust me, I"m in sad shape right now)
Bloodpressure 118/58 last week when I donated blood and my last cholesterol reading was 131, so I guess I'm not quite dead yet.
I'm 5'8", 180lbs(mostly muscle), with a bit of a doritos, chocolate chip cookie, and soda gut. Ahhh, the pleasures that come with game night. Snacks, snacks, i must sample all the snacks.
...head turned up with tongue hanging down one side of mouth making gurgling sounds of pleasure...
I wasn't always that heavy. I got tired of being man-handled by mages with the spell telekinisis and decided to add to my overall mass in an attempt to negate this annoying spell.
My wife left for a 6-week dig in Tanzania, and I've so far lost 7 lbs ;) Hopefully the exercise regimen continues after her return in a month. *crosses fingers*
6'2" 310 lbs. I was about 230 back in my high school football days, so that was when I was 'in-shape.' Everything over that original 230 is fat since I have a desk job and a computer now.
5'11, touching 175 on a heavy day... used to hover about 150 before I got into weightlifting. Not as ripped as I'd like (damn you, D&D, always keeping me from the gym!), but beefy enough that I don't feel awkward at the beach. : P
5'8 and one half inches! 196 lbs. mostly muscle. 10years of martial arts left me with tree-trunk legs. I used to leg press over 900 lbs. Construction made the upper body strong too. I have gotten a bit big in the middle since becoming a Stay-at-home dad but I can still crush the little girlie-men.
Male, 6'7, 240 lbs. My day job is throwing boxes, so it's mostly muscle.

Male, 6'4" and 220 lbs. I've got FH legs from all the bicycling and ice hockey I did as a kid, but have gotten soft around the middle since then. Not as fit as I'd like to be, but I just came off a 2-hour basketball session, so I can't be that bad?

5'10", 230lbs. with a +/- of 15lbs. depending on time of year and how much I am out in the field or how much I'm behind the desk (you can sweat a lot of weight off carrying a pack and digging shovel tests in Texas in the summer...). Hope to loose some more, I've been to desk bound recently and that hasn't helped.
...oh, and Ben & Jerry's Chubby Hubby Ice Cream is aptly named. Damn Vermonters and their Hippy Ice Creameries!

Down from 257 in April. My goal is to lose at least 50 (would put me at 207), and then we'll see from there. Even at 257, I was fairly athletic (play softball and volleyball), but it's much easier after losing the weight. No screwy weight loss plans either, just cut down portion size, cut out soda and fast food entirely, and added exercise.
Er, 6'3"-6'4", 160 lbs. Very little fat - I haven't bicycled or gone on a run in a long while, but I have a very high metabolism and work a factory job where I am regularly lifting 55 lb. bags. Strength of around 11 (maybe 12).

now I'm just a fat geek that can still bench press 300 lbs. (which is not very useful when you are 35 years old).
Male, 5'6", 145 lbs. Was up to 165 lbs 7 years ago in college when I rowed on the crew team, but have lost some muscle since then. Now I just float around 145 thanks to having my father's "hummingbird metabolism." Eat anything; not gain a pound. (Infuriates my younger sister...)

**infuriates me - though I'm not your younger sister**
I have the "backwoods survival" metabolism. Put us in a post-apocolyptic world and I can live off of one-half rat and a handful of crackers a day.

Heh. Sorry about that, Carnivore.
If it's any consolation, it irritates my wife too. She's a very muscular 5'3" (she's a bodybuilder in her free time) but she keeps saying it's embarrassing at her family get-togethers. Having a husband so wiry insinuates something bad about her cooking in the eyes of her mother and grandmothers (She's Irish. Is that an Irish thing?)
Ironic thing is, her cooking is FANTASTIC. I just don't gain weight unless I start lifting like crazy... Go figure...

It's not an Irish-only club. My other half is Italian-Portuguese and has the metabolism of aforementioned hummingbird. But, I'm a good cook! Really! He just doesn't gain any weight (unlike me).

Hrmph to your modern metabolism!
Someday, when the level 4 zombie infestation happens, my slow and very efficient metabolism will become pertinent again! IT WILL! I swear.
That's my solace too! Gawds - I gained weight during Army survival training on a diet of grubs, ant eggs (delicious!) and pine needle soup...
Yeah, that there is an extremely efficient metabolism.
I can gain weight (and nutritional value) eating dirt and a cup of tea. Unfortunately, the 7-11 next door is all out of dirt so I get ice-cream instead.
In january still 215 Lbs.. and a pudgy waist. Then i got this gymcard for christmas... and now about 187 Lbs, leaner and a damn lot stronger.
Went as low as 177 Lbs before laying on mnore weight, arms getting thicker and such nice details. Oh and body does some funny teen-things. As if 15 yo again.. 28 now, meaning beyond that 24-25 when the body goes downhills hard.
Feels great!
Could at best, when younger as a conscript, do 12 pullups.. 3 in january.. 24 are standard today :D
And every intention of going for 50, one day.. ;)
since giving up drinking actually starting to exercise a year ago :D
I've started exercising again too, since I might actually have to go do some real work (like non-office work) if I manage to get promoted in December, but that stopping drinking thing is just crazy talk.....

That's down from over 400 two years ago.
I had gotten myself down to 280 lbs, but it's been creeping back up over the past year.
5'10, maybe 11 now, and 140 lbs. I've been scrawny all my life, but I'm glad because now my brother is all chubby. He got the fatness and the back hair, I got the big nose and the abs. Mwahaha
To be truely accurate shouldn't you be averaging the BMI rather than the weight?
I am 6' 0" 203lbs, about 22lbs overweight, down from 215lbs. I think that puts me at 27.5 for BMI. You really want to aim for a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9, so I am close! My target weight is 180lbs.
