Subject: What is your current weight?

Written By: violet_shy on 10/29/19 at 7:57 pm

A lot of people are not comfortable talking about their weight. So I want to break those chains, and start this topic to talk about it freely with anyone who wishes to join in. I will not be judgemental or rude. But this must be discussed.

So with that said, as of today my current weight is: 296 pounds! Maybe you all can see it in my current avatar picture I look really plump. I'm kinda happy about it...I guess. I have tried EVERYTHING to lose weight. I think I am naturally full figured. Might need a more strict diet only that would mean eating nothing and starving which I won't do. ::)

Imagine Twiddle Dee  I do


If you're referring to Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee, the English nursery rhyme characters who were later elaborated on in Lewis Carroll's  "Through The Looking Glass and What Alice Found There", there is nothing that indicates they were 1000 pounds or couldn't get out of bed. In fact, they were quite active. The original rhyme reads:

"Tweedledum and Tweedledee
    Agreed to have a battle;
For Tweedledum said Tweedledee
    Had spoiled his nice new rattle.
Just then flew down a monstrous crow,
    As black as a tar-barrel;
Which frightened both the heroes so,
    They quite forgot their quarrel."

In Lewis Carroll's book they are described merely as "two fat little men". But certainly not morbidly obese.

I used to think I was skinny because I didn't eat enough. (I was 130 lbs before I started weightlifting)

My sister recently gave me her Fitbit she wasn't using anymore, and I realized actually I just have a fast metabolism, or a very active lifestyle to be more precise.

I burn almost 3000 calories a day and take 15000-20000 steps a day without giving it any thought. All this time I thought I was lightly active because I had a desk job and calculated my metabolism to be around 2500 calories/day.

I wasted a lot of time  :-[ (in weightlifting you have to be in a calorie surplus and gain weight to get stronger)

What constitutes "minimal clothes"? I always thought it was kind of careless when going to the doctor for a checkup that they weigh you with all your clothes on and then write that down as if it's your actual weight! I barely manage to get my shoes off!
It's kind of hilarious that they go to all the trouble to be accurate with those sliding weight things and meanwhile you've got all this excess baggage on. I actually weigh about ten pounds less than what the doctor says.  ;D

Shorts, T-shirt, maybe socks. Would barely add any weight.

I agree, I always questioned when they would get my weight especially in the winter. 3 shirts, jeans with loads of keys and a big wallet, and my steel toe boots. I would ask and they would say leave it all on. Like you it’s about another 10 lbs.

I don't weigh myself anymore, never really did and have not owned a scale in 50 yrs...I'm 82....my clothes fit well and I know that extra weight can bring on so many issues and I'll name a few:

Diabetes
Covid issues I've read
Joint Damage
And so so many more health issues.

One way to TAKE OFF EXTRA LBS and keep them off, lay off the carbs and refined sugars....plain truth here....

I have not brought bread in my house for over 10 yrs.
And not eaten pasta products in about the same number of years.
No more, cookies, pies, cakes, muffins, etc etc etc....

I do NOT want diabetes so am willing to give all this nonesense up. 

I like food, and probably weigh 150-160  these days. but too thin is not good either, we need some fighting weight as we age. 

I was raised on pasta and breads, being 1/2 italian, but no more...
