I'm not sure. I think I lost 30-40 lbs last year. I have no freaking clue where it went. They say your metabolism gets worse as you age?

You gotta exercise more plus you only work 4 days a week at the moment, how much time do you need? Just eating more and taking protein supplements without working out isn't enough. Chicks dig muscle more than fat. When you go back to uni use of the gym is free if you become a guild member.

PS. I think your weight's fine. You just need to work on your muscle tone.

I thought I was inestructible when I was younger, ate all kinds of s*** to put on weight, fast food, fat you name it. Nowadays I easily balloon if I dont watch what I eat.
So yes Ive gotten heavier as Ive gotten older, and it takes more work to keep the flab off than it used to.
But theres just more of me to love that way.

I never gain weight. I have the metabolism of a shrew.

The only time I've ever gained a significant amount of weight was about 2+ years ago, probably because I was just being a typical college kid-- eating total garbage all day/every day and drinking too much. Luckily I was able to lose the weight I gained (and then some). Other than that, my metabolism has been more than kind to me. I can eat a good deal and not budge a pound.

I hover between 78 to 84kg, and have been like that for ages. When I go to the gym, I tend to gain weight. It's more of a matter of how flabby I am around the guts, and after this Christmas, I've still got a bit of work to do.

I've gained a fair amount of weight in the last year or so. I hate working out, but I've always been active, particularly by playing soccer. Now, I don't have the time to play in a team and I just can't bring myself to jump on the threadmill. I also tend to eat A LOT when I'm stressing over school/studying.  |

I'm 5'3, and my weight changes a lot. I'm trying to make it more stable though. When I was 14 I was about 120 lbs. When I was 17 I was about 112 lbs (the perfect weight on me, I think), when I was 20 I was about 115 lbs. There were also episodes in my life where I gained too much or lost too much for various reasons I won't go into. Currently I'm 98 lbs, which is seriously freaking me out because I'm not doing anything to make myself this weight. When I've gone underweight in the past it was for clear reasons, I knew what was happening to my body. Right now I'm eating as much as I feel I need to eat, I get minimal exercise, and yet I'm f***ing shrinking. It's weird. I'm hoping that it's just loss of baby fat since I'm entering my mid-twenties now, otherwise I guess I need to go to a doctor and figure this out.

If it's sudden weight loss like that, I'd go to the doctor. 98 lbs. at your height is certainly not healthy. |

Since you've said you're depressed that could certainly be the problem.
Not trying to be a jerk, I'm serious.

I've gone underweight a couple of times in the past, way more under than I am now. So I'm concerned, but I'm not that concerned because I'm not really in the dangerous area yet. I just hate going to the doctor. I know I should but I've been putting it off. And it's not depression doing this to me, though depression did this to me and then some earlier this year. Then I gained the weight back. Right now I'm not depressed enough to be losing weight. My weight has a general rule when it comes to depression: minorly depressed and I gain weight, seriously depressed and I lose weight. I'm not seriously depressed. I have my bad days, but even my bad days aren't that bad. This shouldn't be happening. I guess a doctor visit is inevitable. I wish I could just pay someone to go to the doctor for me.

What has been your weight as you got older? That's been mine. 5'11 and 1/2 height, male. Age 15: Weight: 125lbs bodyfat: 5% Age 18: Weight: 145lbs bodyfat: 6% Age 20: Weight: 165lbs bodyfat: 8% Age 24: Weight: 170lbs bodyfat: 7.5% I'm trying to get down to 5% again. It will probably take my weight down to 165lbs or so. ^Are you sure about this? How have you had this measured? Were they official measurements? For normal people that constantly work out, 10-12% body fat is considered very good. Tour de France cyclists, who are amongst the greatest cardiovascular athletes in the entire world have body fat %'s of about 6%, which would place you at a similar level to them. I don't want to sound rude, but this doesn't seem realistic to me  |
