Not a clue. I'm probably a bit heavier now but I don't keep track.

I used to live in America, I'm glad I don't anymore cos I'd look in the mirror and say "You f*cking FAT F*CKING C*NT!!!"

In my 30s 5ft11 and weigh 78KG .. I think I'm in the green zone for BMI (just)

05-04-2016 05:06PM

I'm 29 and weighed 41kg at 13. I now weigh 43.5kg (I'm <5ft).

Going by my age and weight I've put on just over 10stone a decade. I figure that at a stone a year if I keep going and live to be 100 I could be the biggest man on earth!

Mesrine65 · 05-04-2016 06:05PM

110kg & fighting fit

I've always been between 100-110kg

Holding steady at 12 stone for the last 15 years. But it is not as well distributed as it once was.

thattequilagirl · 05-04-2016 06:15PM

I was about 9 stone ten years ago, I'm just under 11 stone now.

05-04-2016 06:19PM

I was about 7 pounds 41 years ago, pretty steady around 11 stone for the last 25 years give or take half a stone...

The belly expands and contracts but the weight stays roughly the same

Wibbs · 05-04-2016 06:29PM

Neither gained nor lost overall since the 80's.

At some point in my mid teens I weighed 13st. I'm not entirely sure when that was because I told myself I was 13 stone until I was 23 and forced to stand on a scales and come to terms with the fact that it was a 17.5st fat fncker and not getting any lighter.

Although I can pinpoint the start of it; broke my knee on my 11th birthday, spent 3 months eating all around me while recovering and came out of it chubbier and lazier, where I'd been pretty slender and sporty before.

In the intervening decade since I was 23, I dropped 3 stone, then another one, then another. Been hovering between 12 and 12.5 stone for the last 4 years. Been planning on losing one more, for the last two years. But this year is my year - it's not getting any easier as time moves on, so the sooner the better.

Stopped growing upwards when I was 12. Weighed about 12 and a half stone then (around 80kg). By the time I left school in 1979 I was probably around 13 and a half stone (86kg)

Over the next 3 decades or so I gradually filled out, topping out just short of 20 stone (125kg) 9 years ago

Then I started taking cycling seriously and dropped back to around 14 and a half stone (93-94kg). Then 2 years ago I had a serious accident reducing my exercise (and motivation) and I ballooned back up to 16 and a half stone (105kg) or more just over a year ago. I've been working on it since then and am now tipping the scales at just 13 and a half stone (86kg) - the weight I was at when leaving school over 36 years ago....

beks101 · 05-04-2016 06:44PM

The first time I can remember being weighed was when I was 14 and I was 57kg. At 24 I was about 63kg and now at 30 I weigh 50kg on the head.

It's gone up since uni anyway though I'm the same size as ever
Lost some last year
Losing some more atm

Same, I'm hopin it's a good thing. My grandad lived til 90, his weight was the same his whole adult life.

Skatedude · 05-04-2016 07:09PM

I was 14.5 stone when i was 20. I'm now 43 and still 14.5 stone. Admittedly some of the weight has transferred a little, but not by much, still need a belt with 34 inch jeans.

Mister Vain · 05-04-2016 08:05PM

I've been slowly gaining weight since my late teens. It's all muscle but the process is so slow. After 12 years of lifting weights and consuming as many calories as I possibly can, Im finally at a decent weight.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 05-04-2016 08:09PM

I have been within 3lbs of the same weight for over 40 years. Not planned, just how it is.

mojesius · 05-04-2016 08:17PM

I had a crap diet when i was younger but worked in pubs/restaurants so managed to keep weight off, always around the 10.5 mark. Went up to 12st my heaviest 5 years ago. Combination of back problems plus started a desk job plus still ate too much crap. Got into running 2 yrs ago, and sorted out my diet, apart from the chocolate addiction. Now under 10st and plan to keep it under 10. I'll never be skinny due to said chocolate addiction but am happy.

Cee-Jay-Cee · 05-04-2016 08:30PM

In my late teens/early 20's I was a featherweight, weighing a hefty 9st at 5'11.75" tall. I then started putting on weight in my late 20's and put on roughly 2 stone. In my 30's my weight yoyo'd from 12st to my heaviest at 14 st. I then got real dogged about it and started training (cycling and running) and my weight dropped and has held steady at 12st for the last 4 or 5 years.

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5 · 05-04-2016 08:43PM

Lost a bit of weight when I got to college and started being more active, I'd say I went from about ten stone to just under nine and a half. There have been one or two very skinny phases in between (down to about eight and a half stone, with my height and build it doesn't suit me at all) but I've basically been the same weight since. Definitely looking a bit flabbier and droopier with it recently though, I ain't 21 anymore. Should probably do some of that exercise...stuff

05-04-2016 10:20PM

Mine varies a lot! But nothing too drastic. I'm just over 5'9". Always slim as a child. Weighed about 67kg when I hit puberty. Lost lots of weight when I was about 15 and stayed at about 60kg for most of my teen years. Was a fairly low weight for most of my early-mid twenties in college. Lowest was 53kg. Partying and stress! I weigh about 66kg now and I'm trying to get down to about 60kg. Starting a desk job and moving in with the boyfriend didn't help my figure..

What's a rough kilo to stone conversion? I haven't a clue what people mean with kilo's. This thread is the first time I've ever seen it being the norm, are people using it more these days?

I just use 6.5 kg to a stone. It's more like 6.35 but gives you a ballpark figure.

tomwaterford · 05-04-2016 10:27PM

Emm was about 12 leaving school....drinking/eating too much crap etc had me just above 14 stone....

Until I gave it up by and large and exercised more and towards end of last summer fell to in and around 9 and 1/2 stone...which tbh was a bit too far.

...though I'm back around something healthy of just around 11 stone after being kinda sick/run down last few months....can finally feel myself coming right

Alf Veedersane · 05-04-2016 10:30PM

I know in college I was pretty much 12 stone. Stayed there for a long time.

The sh*t happened, went down a dark road and weighed in at 9 st 10. I'm 6 foot...

Anyhoo, found my way again, joined a gym, realised I really enjoyed it and put some muscle on the frame and I'm back at 12 stone. Leaner and some muscle. Some 12 years after the post grad and still weigh much the same but took the scenic route to get there

How much weight have you put on/lost in each decade?
