I'm 181 cm and 61 kgs (feels superior for using metric ... )

Thats 5' 11" and 135 pounds.

Please send food.
I've been lifting weights and have put on 4kg, 10lbs in the last year. I'm fairly well toned but have virtually no fat tissue at all. Always been that way. I do well in summer but winter is terrible. So cold, so very cold...



From figures given in this thread:


The scarecrow club :

Lookout123 .............5'8, 150lbs BMI 22.8 (only listed because of comments in your post)
Mockingbird .............5'7, 135lbs BMI 21.1 (scraping in)
Glatt ......................6'2, 155lbs BMI 19.9 (not thin, just tall for his weight)
Piercehawkeye .........5'11, 140lbs BMI 19.5 (you will live long)
ZenGum .................5'11, 135lbs BMI 18.8 (washboard abs? ha! washboard RIBS)

I hope these rankings don't give anyone any grief or cause any body image disorders. Hugs to you all. Ouch, watch my shoulderblades, will you?

Strictly speaking, if going off that list, I rank as a scarecrow: Though I didn't post my height originally..I'm 5ft 7 (and 3/4) inches and 133lbs.

But, I don't look like a scare crow. I wouldn't say I am thin, but slim. And I still get a little tum overhang from too many beers:P

Eh, I think they're overrated sometimes. I'd like my jackets to lay a little flatter, and not have to worry about that annoying space on button-up shirts.

how would you weigh someone's head...if you wanted to go about it. short of weighing, beheading and re-weighing? i'd truly like to know how much mine weighs. and i think laying down on my side and resting it on a scale won't be all that accurate. gravitational pull?

isn't any weight the product of mass and gravity?
