HEY NOW I'M 112

well folks i'm going to walk to store burn some cals a buy a soda and maybe some cinnimon rolls cause the donut shop closed at 2

I can see why in someways you would gain it, but then again i know that there are others that lose it in a relationship from all the stress. Now my brother gained it because he likes chocolate way to much and his wife makes alot of cakes,cookies, etc etc.

Love, I have always been too skinny until recently. I heard all of the jokes - my whole life. Sorry to tell you this but the metablism changes when you get over 45 y/o.

I hope so...

Shadow, I was talking about the women. I don't know about the menfolk.

About 8 yrs. ago I was only 110 lbs. and at 5'4, I looked like I was dying of AIDS or something - that skinny. Now, lately, I have to watch what I eat.

It will slow when you get older.

Hmmm not to be rude to anyone but i don't bother what any woman looks like thin or big.....just be yourselves and if people are unhappy with their weight then do something about it

now please don't pick on me it was an opinion

Wow...that is thin! I'm your height and teeter tween 120-130 and think I'm scrawny! I think you have little bones though don't you?

I'm way too thin...I think it was the 'divorce diet'. Haven't been able to return to my normal weight since.

Marriage adds at least 20 lbs. My bmi is normal again.

There's nothing wrong with my weight. I just think I fit in my skin a bit better and don't blow away as easily when I'm eating better.

I dont think Im too skinny. I still weigh more than I did when I graduated high school.

I think women need to really wake up and realize that we men don't look at the magazines and the TV and declare that all women must be as thin and perfect as the models and celebrities we see. If anything, I think women have heard the loud voices of the minority of males who are very shallow and thus believe all men are like that.

We know the models and celebrities diet themselves to death, go under the knife, have personal trainers and dietitians, and even snort coke to stay uber-thin. We know these people also have the time in their lives to do all this, because it's part of their line of work.

I'm going to say it here, as I've said it in many discussions of this subject - MOST MEN JUST WANT WOMEN OF A HEALTHY WEIGHT.

What does "healthy weight" mean? It means that she is not pushing a huge stomach, arse, double-chins, etc. She doesn't look like a "before" picture for Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers. We men aren't saying women must be super thin, have a flat stomach, and large fake breasts.

We're just saying we're attracted to the woman who looks like she's of a healthy weight. She could have a little extra on the butt, or a little ponch on her belly, but there's a big difference between being 10-20 lbs overweight and being 50-100 lbs overweight.

I know someone will get pissed, hurt, offended, negative, etc about my words here, but I believe in being honest. You can call me shallow or whatever, but I'm being honest.

There are some men like my two friends who actually prefer the larger set women. I'm sure there are many more out there like that. "Good for them" is what I would say. I just more want to disparage the idea in women's minds that men want models. We don't. We just want women of a healthy weight. Especially a health-nut like me, I'd prefer a woman who would share with me in a healthy active lifestyle for the rest of our lives than someone who would not.

I don't want women sitting here thinking they're not good enough...but just to disparage the myth. I think most of the women who replied on this topic are "skinny", "thin", or "healthy" in my eyes. So don't feel so pressured to look like an Adriana Lima. We men aren't setting our sights only on that.

Lots of beautiful women on this site to be honest.

I had an 21 inch waist. Thank God I had hips or I'd have slipped through the floor boards. I think I was 103 at the time.

Love, I barely pushed 100 lbs. when I graduated from high school. I have average bones. When I was about 46 y/o, I started gaining weight and now I need to lose some weight.

I weighed 98 and continued to do so until a few years ago Now I weight 109

Phooey! You're perfectly beautiful like you are.

You were really watching the floorboards. Oh my.
