What's your fighting weight?

Bambi985

General question for the good folks of AH. What weight do you look and feel best at, are physically fittest, strive to attain or maintain in your general day-to-day?

I'm a five foot 1 woman and sit best at about 8 stone. Any lower and the boobage disappears, any higher and I look grand if a bit "well fed" as my mother would say. I really can't get away with any weight gain like most regular-height humans.

What's your fighting weight and how close are you to it right now?

I've never been close to my 'ideal weight'. I reckon I'd need to be at least 65kg but I've stayed at 57-58kg since my teens and for all of my adult life. It just doesn't budge beyond that.

A lunch box. Snack box not enough… KFC bucket too much.

Amirani

I've been 70kg pretty consistently for the past year and a half, so I guess that's me.

About 90-95kg. I weigh about 104kg at the minute, but I'm a little pudgy

My "ideal weight" would have me looking wretched.

My BMI at my hottest and fittest is 27.5.

It's not really about weight for me.

I'm sure I could be 27.5 BMI and be a blob if I didn't work out.

Weight is definitely a better measure than BMI is it not?

Well they equate to the same thing - don't they?

My point is, if I told you my idea of my ideal weight and height, you'd have a vision of me being a chubster but I'd be anything but.

Waist size/Bodyfat percentage etc are much better indicators than just weight.

a gram and a half of decent posh,and a good few fluid ounces of rotgut whiskey is enough to turn me into a pugilist.I hover around 12 stone so that would put me somewhere at the higher end of middleweight I suppose?

osarusan

My amateur boxing weight was 71kg (light middleweight). That was too skinny and achieved by fasting, but about 3-4 kg more than that would be ideal.

Sleepy

I don't think I've ever been at my "fighting weight". I was slim enough in my late teens due to swimming a lot and in my twenties I once got to the point where I had pretty good arms / shoulders / chest but I've never managed to get a flat stomach while having any degree of muscle. I'm 5'10 and have a broad frame so I'm guessing were I to train like a bastard and give up eating / drinking everything I enjoy for a year or so I could probably get to a pretty good fighter's build at around 80kg.

Agricola

85kg would be about right for me. Hovering at 90 and abit more at the moment.

Am I the only person on the planet that still uses the imperial system for weight??

corner of hells

I'm assuming BMI means burger meal intake .

If so I'd be a prop in the local rugby team.

Malari

I've never really changed that much - I'm always around 54kg, give or take a kilo for at least 20 years, so I don't have anything to compare it with in terms of ideal weight. That gives me a BMI of 19, so could probably put on 10kg and still be "healthy". I'm happy with that.

74KG at 12% body fat @5'7
At minute 76 at 15 %

lukesmom

About 11 1/2 stone and I'm 5 foot 8. Unfortunately I am 3 stone heavier thanks to a medication I am on. Grrrrrr

red ears

I'm 5ft 11in and i like to be no more than 37 stone. I'm a fine trim looking fella at that weight.

red ears

Only joking about the 37 stone, i'm normally between 12.5 stone and 13 and i am lucky that i can eat pretty much what i want and don't blow up. I don't like being below 12 stone though as i look too thin.

12% at 74kg is 65kg lean which is basically the max amount of natural lean weight possible for your height!

I'm about 5'6.75 and 65 kg at about 10% feels like a fine nimble weight to be without losing all my muscle. Currently about 71 kg though.

ohnonotgmail

about the weight of a decent sized backrow.

[Deleted User]

Currently 5'8 and 11.5 stone (73kg) with about 8% body fat. Always been a skinny feck but now I run at least 3 times a week and lift 3 times a week.

Still scrawny looking but I feel the best I've felt in a long time.

Nope!;)

I'm at my fighting weight of 18 stone currently (6'4 male). I did venture to the dizzy heights of 21.5 stone at one point due to a rugby injury (and it happened fairly easily) so really have to watch myself now!

DEFTLEFTHAND

6'1 and like to try and stay in the 12 and half to 13st range.

Light Heavyweight in boxing terms I think.

valoren

6'1 and my 'race' weight is 12 stone 10 lbs.
Anytime I've ever been under that I seem to have back issues funnily enough.
Between 12.10 and 13 stone is my sweet spot.

I'm about 13.6 now but getting back into it over the summer.
Once I run, the Pringles and Beer melt away.

Mister Vain

At the moment I'm a light middleweight but I'm a natural welterweight.

noaddedsugar

I'm a woman, 5'6" and weigh 8stone 9/10lbs. I don't like to be any heavier than that, I hate the feeling of having any blubbler on me. I cycle a lot and do yoga and like to be lean. I'm quite a small build anyway and if I put on extra weight it just makes me look flabby, not curvy.
