It's a genuine question - I had no idea this could be determined.

I am not sure of the details, but with me the x-rayed my hand and did some calculations or whatnot on some measurements. Specifically the fingers I think. They can also tell when you stop growing from your wrist.

I weigh 248 lbs, at the moment. It doesn't really bother me, that much. I know that I could lose that extra 48 lbs. It's coming off, slowly. I just don't feel the need to weigh 125 lbs. I'd be happy at 200 lbs. There's nothing wrong with being a big, strong woman.

That's normal weight for your height.

I like to be realistic, and I have a much healthier body image now, than I did, where I've left off, in the real world, when I was 22. Carrot sandwich, anyone? I used to make those, in effort to try to get down to 125 lbs.

I am skinny but muscular from years in dance. I got up to 135 pounds once but I've usually been around 110 pounds which is about where I am now. Oh, I'm 5'4".

I've always been overweight especially when I was a teenager. I'm definately an emotional eater. It does help to have control of my own food though - I eat less when I have more control of what I eat. I do get told these days that I don't look overweight but my brain doesn't seem to process it. I know in theory a lot of people say I'm the right size for my height (actually I know I'm still a bit over but I look lighter than I am) but I still feel like a heffalump.

I had an eating disorder when I was a teenager. Through peer pressure. I thought that if I was thinner than I was, I would be able to fit in and have friends. It wasn't as severe as some other cases but when the health administrators found out they weren't happy.

I will never be 'super' thin but I'm at a healthy weight although I do get the self esteem issues wishing to be thinner.

I guess I'm okay then XD Good news. At least one aspect of myself is normal.

I am underweight at 5'6" 110 lbs, but it is genetic. Then again, all the aspie type people in my family are also the thinner ones.

Weight has never really been an issue for me. When I was kid, I was slightly rounder than others my height, but I "grew out of it". I'm 1.54 meters now and normally weigh 48 - 50 kilos (that's a BMI of 21) (alright alright, I put it in a converter: it's 5'1'' and 108 lbs). It's been like that for 5 years now.

I really do wish I could eat more though, lol, but I'd get fat. My body just doesn't need a lot of food, which is a shame.

I would sell my eyes for some extra height.

I was abnormally tall in early adolescence, and I wanted to be a model, but then I never grew much.

And now I'm slightly obsessed with height, though not so severely as I was aged 14/15, where I talked about it nonstop and tried to talk my mom into letting me get human growth hormone injections. Which a doctor probably wouldn't have done on me anyway, because I was a normal height for my age.

I wish I could have taken those. I am 10 cm smaller than i should have been, than what i 'have' genetically... instead I have the width and weight of 10 cm I don't have

Damn. I feel for you. What messed with your growth?

I was supposed to be 5'9, but I'm only 5'7..

Pff, you call that short? I'm 6 cm smaller than estimated, when I was younger they thought I'd reach the 160. But nope. I stopped growing at 14, I developed quite early.

I'm not really fat, maybe slightly overweight (i'm 5' 2'' and around 130lb) but I feel fat. And it went so far I actually hate my body now and feel disgusted every time I look at myself. I even thought of becoming anorectic, but I probably won't be able to stop eating completely. I love food too much..

I was VERY thin as a child. Then I got Lyme disease and got tired all the time, and started putting on weight. I'm like 90 or 100 pounds overweight now.

I was slightly overweight as a child, when puberty hit I lost a little but because of developing fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism,and being put on meds I gained 20 lbs. I've managed to shed the weight (now 5'9" and 145), but I had to adopt a bodybuilder's diet and eat nothing unhealthy to do it since I can't exercise very often. I have to upkeep the diet now just to maintain my weight... I hate it.
