    Before I answer I would like to say that I’m only 5’3 tall. My lowest weight as an adult was 96 pounds and my highest was  138 pounds. 138 pounds is heavy at my height and frame.

    I would've been jealous of you at 96, but if you weigh more than me now, I won't throw you in the dungeon, because no one's allowed to weigh less than me.

    OK, but if I find out you weigh less than me, the entire buffet from Pizza Ranch is waiting for you in my dungeon, but don't worry, you don't actually have to eat any of it.  You can gain weight just by looking at or even thinking about the Pizza Ranch buffet.

    Lol :) I’m at the age now where I can just look at food and gain 5 pounds, so that should work to top me over your weight  ;)

      When I was 18 years old, I signed up to join the Marines. The recruiter told me that there were height and weight standards. On the day I took the preliminary physical exam, I was pleased to learn that I didn’t have to worry at all about being too short, too tall, 5’9”, or too heavy, but I hit the scales at the exact minimum weight allowed for my height: a blazing amazing 114 pounds. I had a few weeks ahead of me before shipping off to boot camp, and there would be another physical exam.

      The recruiter told me that if I lost even one pound, I would be denied. He had a solution, however. On the day in question, he picked me up at about 5:30 am. He had an entire bunch of bananas and a large bottle of milk.  “Start eatin’!” he commanded me, “it’s about a 40-minute ride, and you’d better down each one of those bananas and drink every drop of that milk!  And another thing, until you weigh in, you don’t go anywhere near any bathroom!”  I dutifully choked down every banana, washed down with milk. He would have had me eat the peels too, just to be on the safe side. He wasn’t going to accompany me inside the building, so I was on my own from that point. 

      When I went inside, there were approximately 200 young men and women milling around in a large auditorium-like hall. Each branch of the service, Army, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard, and the United States Marine Corps, would first process its enlistees separately before turning us over to the medical people. My physical wouldn’t take place for at least two or three hours. I carried around a heavy bellyful of potassium and calcium for the whole morning. 

      When I finally stepped on the scale, my weight was 114.5 pounds. I was in!


    (I’m now 5’9” and 175 pounds.)

      The most I’ve ever weighed in adulthood was about 190 pounds.

  • My weight has pretty much been the same for a long time, ever since the end of high school, hovering around 135-140, which is the right in the normal range for my height.

  • I'm 57 kg (125,6 lbs) now.  This is my highest weight as an adult.  When I was 18, I weighed 53 kg (116,8 lbs).

    Gain 2 kg, please.  No one's allowed to weigh less than me.

    Do you hear that?  Martina! Martina!

    That's a spaghetti sandwich and a hot fudge brownie à la mode with chocolate syrup for dessert calling your name!

    I'm throwing out your grammar ticket because the last grammar ticket you gave me for the same thing was dismissed in court. https://answermug.com/forums/topic/114157/have-you-heard-the-term-quot-mansplaining-quot-do-you-know-wh/view/post_id/824618

    Your way sounds too formal for every-day writing and speech, but if we're going to get nit-picky, then you also need to give Martina a ticket for improper use of the words weight and weighed with kilograms.  It's only fair.

      (everyday)

    You know full well that I like Martina much more than I like you: she has never kidnapped my entire tilde collection and spirited them off to some lousy, cramped, dark, dank, filthy hideaway on the side of a Colorado mountain, unlike someone else has.  Their emotional scars may never heal. You’re a bad, bad woman.

    From Martina’s post above:
    This is my highest weight as an adult.  When I was 18, I weighed 53 kg (116,8 lbs).

     

      What did she write incorrectly?  She’s your own cousin!  How could you do this to her?

      Hmmm, hiking filing a false police report, eh?  Your crime spree knows no bounds, does it, you habitual offender?

    It's because she makes sandwiches for you, isn't it?

    I weighed 53 kg
    is technically incorrect because kilograms don't measure weight, they measure mass.  The part about 116,8 lbs is OK because pounds measure both weight and mass.

    Of course, saying I had a mass of 53 kilograms or I weighed 519 newtons would sound pedantic and weird, and people just wouldn't talk that way unless they're Super Nerd.  

    It would be just as clunky and unnatural sounding as me saying weigh less than I do instead of weigh less than me.  So, the case must be dismissed, thank you very much.

      Your Honor, defense counsel’s premise lacks legal foundation and is not supported by case law, cites absolutely no precedent.  This flimsy argument that kilograms differ from pounds in relation to what they measure or do not measure is ridiculous. Neither a kilogram nor a pound perform the act of measuring anything. On the other hand, and to counter the argument, both kilograms and pounds can be weighed, both have weight. Your Honor, the Prosecution moves to have the Defense’s entire platform tossed out of court and the citations upheld on principle!

    A kilogram doesn’t have weight?

    The least I ever weighed as an adult was 125.  The most I ever weighed was when I was nine months pregnant with my twins, which was 149, but of course that wasn't all me.  I was 134 after I had them, so I had cool-sculpting a little later which dropped me down to 130.  I'm still 130.

      I told you there was a better way, that all you had to do was join me on the fitness trail, but did you listen?  NOOOOOOOO.
