Who Weighs What?
 

I hope ya'll don't mind me asking but I would like to see how much people on this board weigh and how tall are you. Age would help to. Sorry to offend but here is why I am curious. First I was fascinated by the many answers on the other thread about how old everyone is. Secondly I gained about 40 pounds drinking. Oh the calories in wine and vodka. I also met a few super skinny folks who have been drinking for years. I am 45, I weigh 178 pounds and I am 5 ft 4.

One lady in my rehab was anorexic looking and was drinking 3 bottles of wine a day (big ones). Where did all the calories go? Even if you never eat, that many calories has to stick somewhere. That had to be like 3 or 4 thousand a day.

Please don't be offended folks and if you are just skip this thread.:a108::jail

I'll go ahead and share, but I wanted to add something too.
I have gained about 5 lb since I quit drinking, I thought I'd lose a ton of weight due to the calories, but when I was actively drinking, I wasn't really eating. now I'm hungry all the time.. and that sugar addiction I have now isn't helping lol..

132 5'4'' 33y/o

im like 5-3 or 5-4 and somewhere between 105 and 115. i dont really keep track because when i did keep track, i got paranoid about weight stuff :(
i eat a ton of salad though and have good genes. my dad is ridiculously skinny and eats anything he wants

5'11 and 180lbs (pure muscle) 33 y/o
hope I don't gain any weight now I'm not drinking seems like I'm eating a lot more though.

same! im trying to buy more fruits though so i eat lots of those :P

Ok. So I am 38. So, not too old yet, eh?

And, I'm 6'2". Eh? Tall, yeah? Good? Ahur?

My hair is dark brown, my eyes are green. Oh yeah, you gettin' me? Huh? Uhr hurrr.

And I weigh getting on for 300lbs. No, it's not all muscle. It's all butt, belly and thigh. And now I know you're thinking, Barry White? Well, unfortunately I'm not a sexy black dude, I'm a pasty, slightly hairy white guy with the kind of overall aesthetic effect of moldy lard.

And thank you very much for reminding me.

;)

I got fat from drinking, too. I was never one of those skinny drunks. I don't know what I weigh now but it's probably around 140? 145 - ? I'm 5'9". When I was drinking I was way up there - I had the booze belly and everything. SoooOoooo pretty...really helps with the self esteem at a time when...I had NONE.
It didn't fall off, either. Well...some of it did. The rest I had to diet off.
I always envied those skinny ones, too. I thought that if I had to be an alcoholic, did I have to be a fat one? The answer was apparently YES.

pie bear Thanks for being yourself!

5'10" 200lbs. With my frame, I look best between 175-180. Not really fat, just a little plump. OK, I'm fat. Sheesh this topic SUCKS! j/p! ;)

Yuck...one of the big reasons I want to quit drinking. Beer adds pounds fast. Currently I'm 5'3" and weigh about 155lbs. What really sucks is that I don't eat sweets at all and don't eat a lot of food either...it's all those empty beer calories.

I am working out 3 times a week and will do that and walk once the Spring comes (I don't do cold). Maybe someday I can get back to 120...when I got married I only weighed 98lbs...a bit thin, but better than this. I was at least healthy.

bovine, you're awesome and I really appreciate everyone's honesty on this topic.

I put on 30lbs right after I sobered up. My foods of choice were doughnuts, cookies, peanut butter, and frozen meals since I couldn't motivate myself to cook.

3 weeks ago I weighed in at 196 and 5'10". I went on Weight Watchers and I'd lost 12lbs this past Monday. That night and yesterday I had a little bit of a "relapse" on pizza and birthday cake but I'm back on track today. My goal is 170, that was my pre-sobriety weight and I looked pretty good in spite of being seriously unhealthy.

5 7" 176-178 lbs.

5'7" 110# 57 yrs old

6 foot 2 inches, 100 kilos, 37 years old

5'11" and 170 lbs....49 years old.

this was my weight on my vodka and stress diet.

i'm sure i've put on at least 5 lbs in the 16 days i haven't drank.

i don't care if i get up to 195 as long as it's not drinking. i've always been in pretty decent shape but now i'm an office rat so i have no exercise in my job.

last year i quit for 100 days and never did put on a ridiculous amount of weight. i might have got in the low 180's but that's not a bad weight for me to carry.

bovine....your post cracked me up. i loved how it started out then you delivered the punch. great honest stuff. good luck to you man. if you can quit drinking you have the willpower to overcome any problem.

one great thing about me quitting drinking is my b.p. has already returned to normal. what a freakin' poison alcohol is.

:cheer

I look just like this cheerleader!

Would rather tell you my age.

I am 40, 5'5 and quite chunky :)
BUT I have lost 40 lbs since I got sober 9 months ago!

50 years old, 6' tall, 155 pounds. :)

I weighed an appalling 109 pounds when I went to rehab, but death was knocking on my door at the time. :(

Oh no I just went and weighed myself and Ive put on about 14 pounds, I'll be crying all night now!

Man oh man but I hate this thread. I bought a Wii Fit for Christmas and couldn't get enough of it - for about 5 weeks. Lost about 6 pounds. I think I've put it all back on.

41 years old - female 5'11 160 lbs.

I used to be a stick, now I'm a mature branch.
