What's the lightest you've weighed
 
and the lowest body fat you have had as a mature adult. I expect for most of us that will be during our early twenties.

insert actual.

The best shape I've ever been in - as far as body fat and muscle - was during college. I weighed in at about 212.

Now, I'm just a blob.

Graduated high school at 155, but ballooned up to 165 on my mission and stayed there for about 12 years after.

Have been as high as 172 within past 2 years when I wasn't able to run for the whole winter to stay in shape. Dropped 12 pounds to 160 this summer for a bike race and am now holding steady at 163ish.

Body fat? Yes.

Levin 10-07-2008 07:02 PM

We need to list our heights; otherwise, the weight means nothing.

6'0". I've held steady at 180 since my senior year in high school . . . until two years ago.

You know when you can feel a major change in lifestyle coming? You almost feel the rumbling coming over the hills? I'm feeling it now. I'm going to get back to 180.

Archaea 10-07-2008 07:15 PM

if anybody has never been below 250 as a mature adult, I apologize.

if any woman has been below 100, I apologize, knowing some women considered 110 too heavy, but you who feel that way are in the minority.

Runner Coug 10-07-2008 07:27 PM

I got as low as 145 two years ago. Lots and lots of running, not enough eating. I saw a picture of myself and it startled me. I looked like a white Ethiopian.

Now I'm about 165, and "sexy" doesn't even begin to describe how awesome I look.

And this is up from "159 pounds of pure sexiness" a couple of months ago?

Hmm. I'm sure its all muscle. Or else just more to love.

MikeWaters 10-07-2008 08:32 PM

Fool, you should have at least asked for BMI.

The Wii tells me I am a smokin' 24.2.

Well...maybe the last couple of months have been lots and lots of eating, not enough running. I need a race to train for.

17.3

Mid twenties, riding a ton, wouldn't let sugar in my body, 165 lbs on my 6' 2" frame. My wife keeps asking where that body went.

Surfah 10-07-2008 09:36 PM

Probably about 230. Sad.

ute4ever 10-07-2008 11:06 PM

153 lbs when 20. I'm 5'11". I don't know what that generally amounts to in terms of body fat.

TheSizzle36 10-07-2008 11:09 PM

I came home from my mission about 172. The heaviest I have been is about 255. Right now, I am around 230. I should really be around 190-200, although when I was 215 I was in pretty decent shape.

Height is 6'2".

Ditto.

Sans the wife part.

Now I fluctuate between 185-195.

Surfah 10-08-2008 01:58 AM

I didn't break 200 until after high school. The best shape of my life was when I was 20 and a sophomore at BYU before my mission. I was probably 215-220 and was spending over a hundred bucks a month on supplements working out two times a day most days. I remember my family coming to Utah for Christmas that year and I was changing in front of my family and my mother started crying when she saw big my legs had gotten. Good genes. My dad was a competitive bodybuilder in the early 80's.

I've really let myself go since.

marsupial 10-08-2008 12:41 PM

I've never been especially skinny and I was the fat kid growing up. My lightest was after I weaned my oldest child. I was 26 and weighed about 126. I weighed 130 when I got pregnant with my third. I am not back to 130 now but will return eventually. I have no clue what my body fat was.

Clark Addison 10-08-2008 12:53 PM

In the MTC, I heard everyone talk about how easy it was to gain weight eating all the rice, so I ate very carefully. Once, about a year in, I weighed myself, and I was down to 135 (I'm about 5'9.5").

After I got married, I got as heavy as 190, then started running and have been hovering around 165 since, unless I'm about to run a marathon, when I get down to about 155.

FarrahWaters 10-09-2008 10:49 AM

I think I weigh about 5 lbs more than I did in college. I could do without the little pocket of loose skin around my stomach left over from my second pregnancy, but I've also managed to pack a little muscle onto my chicken legs and scrawny arms. So, would I trade this 32 yr old body for my 22 yr old one? I'm not so sure.

No thanks. I'm pretty sure I've heard more than enough on the subject from you.
