    I'm 6 foot tall, and earlier I weighed myself and saw that I was 12 st 12.5lbs.
    I took a dump and now I'm 12st 11.25lbs.
    Losing weight is easy.

    Around 6'3 and weigh about 11.5 stone. Thin enough. However, I do exercise pretty regularly so I feel in tip top nick. Long may it continue.

    5 foot 8 and usually in the 10 stone 5/6 pound bracket. Only started weighing myself recently after I felt it had crept up during a 6 week injury lay off from running, and it had gone to 10 stone 11, but ran it off again.

    Yeah nothing worse than injury weight.

    I broke my leg about ten years ago and put up nearly two stone. It made the whole rehab process after the cast came off a lot tougher.

    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.

    How the **** do you people work out anything by mixing imperial and metric willy nilly?

    6"2, 175 lbs @10% body fat would be summer/peak physique condition for me. So I'd just break into LHW.

    When I was a young fella heavily in to athletics I was 65kg. I was a stroke on a slate and much too light. I have been 78kg, give or take no more than 2kg, for the past 45 years. It's just my weight and it's not overweight for 6ft in height. I never give it any thought.

    I very rarely weigh myself these days. I'm 5'10 and usually weigh 78-80kg. I train 4 to 5 times a week and would be fairly fit and my weight always hovers around that range. However, if I'm not training due to injury and don't watch what I eat, I put on weight very easily

    Here's something I often wonder- what degree of weight gain do people consider to be noteworthy on themselves? Like suppose for instance your "normal" weight is 70 kg - would you be able to tell a *big* difference if you were 69 kg instead, or 71kg? Basically is 1kg a big difference? I know a 1kg bag of sugar feels heavy enough but 1 kg spread over your whole body surely isn't that noticeable, unless you're very thin to start off with?

    My current of 115kg is what I'm most comfortable at.

    5 pounds on me in either direction would be fairly noticeable. Face either bigger or thinner, smaller or bigger stomach, it would probably put me up or down a cup size on my chest too. I'd look notably different in pictures too.

    I'd say given my height it would probably be the visual equivalent of someone of average height gaining or losing about a stone.

    Haven't a clue. Haven't weighed myself in about five years.

    I am 12 stone, 76kg.
    Male and 5'11". But not overly fit at the moment so the distribution of the 12 stone is not what I would like.

    I'm 5'9" and would be most comfortable at about 60kg. I weigh about 70kg now I just feel uncomfortable. Although I'm technically still at a healthy weight for my height and don't really look "heavy" I'd never had rolls of fat before :o .. Not very easy to lose weight though, used to find it very hard to put on weight when I was younger. If only I knew!

    This time 5 years ago I weighed about 54kg. I blame moving in with my boyfriend and getting a desk job. Oh and eating loads.

    Currently 11 and a half stone. I go from 11 to 12 stone in the year usually. 12 in the winter, 11 in the summer.

    Dunno about weight. For me it's jeans. Same size I wore at 20, so fitting into them with ease. If I feel them get a little tight, I lay off the spuds for a week and sorted.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.
