A poll for evryone, but especially Americans..... on FAT!

[ckmommy]

It's funny....I have had 5 kids in 5 years (one set of twins). With my DD I gained 50+ pounds, Ds#1 I gained 65+ pounds--I did not really take that weight off. When I got pregnant with the twins, I vowed not to get as big. I gained 33 pounds. After they were born, I got my eatting together lost all my pregnancy weight from all the pregnancy's and was feeling pretty good. Then found out I was pregnant again. With last DS I gained 24 pounds. He will be a year old on Friday and I have fanally got back to my weight that I was in high school --125. I feel that this weight is "just right"--for my height 5'7. Although, I fit in some size 6 clothes and some size 8's, I still look in the mirror and see a fat tummy. How I wish I could afford a tummy tuck. I swear after having 3 c-sections, I could do 1000 sit ups a day, and not get a flat tummy. Ohhhh the joys of having kids!!

Just right, I guess.

 

[Aurora63]

I voted just right. I'm 5' 5" and weigh 130. I used to weigh 140, but I lost ten pounds this past year due to being stressed out at school. Didn't have to do anything special. I was so stressed most days that I couldn't eat lunch.

I could stand to lose 30, or even just 20, but since I am pregnant now I have to wait to diet until after the baby comes. I am eating healthy and trying to walk though b/c I don't want to gain that much during the pregnancy.

 

[Mom2Ashli]

I feel like I could lose 10 pounds.

 

[The Mystery Machine]

I need to lose about 10 lbs, I am 118 & 5' 3" but I look heavier due to NO MUSCLE TONE!....I need to get back to exercise. Oh, I miss my classes. I was doing really well.

I have started morning walking and I am going to add some Pilates to my home workout.

 

[Stitchfans]

way past Pooh size I guess

 

[WeirdEyes]

I need to lose at least 15 more lbs, but would like to lose 20. However, I'm not going to obsess over it because I've already come a long way.

 

[supercarrie]

My doctors and everyone else say I don't need to lose any weight (so I voted just right), but I would like to lose about 5 pounds, as well as add some more muscle. I can't resume working out for a couple more weeks, though - just had a neck exploration surgery done. So I am waiting until I can get back to weight training.

 

[Golter]

5'9 155 lbs, I run marathons and eat healthy. I would like to gain 10 lbs of muscle, but its not going to happen with the running.

I'm between the 2-just right to needing to lose 10-15 lbs. People say i'm just right, I feel I need to lose 10-15....what is new??

Me too. I'm in the correct category for BMI. I know people think I'm okay, but I know I'd be happier about ten pounds lighter. Heck, maybe even 15.

It's so subjective. I voted for lose 10-15, but I'm sure some others with my body type/weight might pick other another option, going both ways. Some might think they are just right. Others may wish they were a size 4 or 6.

 

[jimmalru80]

I could lose 25 or 30. No problem.

 

[helenabear]

I have lost about 60 pounds in the last year... I'm really okay with my weight... just need to tone up. Some days I think I could lose 10 more, but right now I know I need to work on toning muscles and whatever weight I wind up after that will be fine

 

[Tinkerbell_Girl]

I could stand to lose 15 or 20 lbs. I just need to start exercising and eat healther.

[Quasi123]

I picked just right since my doctor says my weight is fine. I'm not so sure about that though.

 

[THESCHULTZFIVE]

I voted slender but healthy, but that's not totally true. I'm not healthy, really. I try to be, and I'm better than I was, but I love junk food. I want to lose like 5 lbs still, just for the heck of it. Most of my clothes are a size 1/2. I have really cute clothes in 00, but I don't know if I'll see those again. I know I won't see that size in a shirt again. I could probably lose my 5 lbs easy if I exercised, but I can't find the time to do that.

 

[gradtchr]

I'm in my weight range but could stand to lose 10 more pounds. I'm working hard on it and will be getting there soon. Compared to a year ago I am a lot healthier than I was and I am darned proud of it. Eating health, and excercise work.

 

[Galahad]

I said "just right" because there wasn't a choice for losing less that 10#. I'd like to lose 5#, but technically, I'm just right for my age and height.

 

[EsmeraldaX]

I could lose probably about 20 to 25 lbs.

 

[urglewurgle]

well.. i've lost 70lbs + this year... so im better than i was, but i'm still, officially, 7lbs overweight (i.e. if i loose 7lbs my BMI is in the "healthy" range) but i would like to loose another 20lbs really...
