Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Remember Bein; Skinny?

I look at the young folks, and think they look good. Then I think, I did not look so bad myself at that age.

I graduated high school at 6’4” and 118lb. Wore 29”x38” Levi’s. So yeah I’d say I remember being skinny:)

Of course I’ve gained almost 100lbs now at 205 but I just wear 32”x38” jeans now. And still catch heck daily about being a beanpole.

Never been skinny, graduated 5'9" 180. picked up another inch and 20 lbs the five years after...all down hill from there.

When i got out of high school i weighted 175 and now after last years tango i weight 167.

The only other option was to be dead.

118 pounds? Seriously. I was around 200 and I thought I was skinny.dam.

I was 5-9 and 135 now 5-8 195

I was born fat and ugly, now i am old, fat, ugly and poor

Graduated from high school at a solid 126lbs, bulked to 132 by end of my freshman year of college. Wrestled in high school at 98 my sophomore year.

People would say when I had my all black uniform on at home games and went out to kick(placekicker), that if I turned sideways under the lights I disappeared! My Grandmom heard someone asking if I had a health issue or something and quickly set them straight, telling them that when Grandad got drafted for Korea he was 6’2” and weighed in at 119. When he finished basic he’d gained 2 whole pounds!

I was six foot and 170 pounds. Kinda wide shoulders. Definitely was not heavy as a freshman.

And then I gained 100 pounds and zero inches in 24 years

Now I got a lot of time in the gym and more muscle but theres a lot more of that soft stuff too...lol

I lost 30lbs last winter.......not on purpose.

I left high school at 168, 25 yrs with the SO I went to 198/199. My wife got sick and going through that till she passed I went to 154. I am at 174 now almost a year after she passed and i hope to stay in that range.

ah yes 30# ago, i can lose it if i stop drinking beer.

I was 6’ 3” And weighed 180 when I graduated HS

40 years went by and I was up to 250 before I lost both my parents a little over a year ago.
Now I weigh 205.

6' weight 180 now. People say I am skinny.

I still wear the same size socks I wore in high school. I'm pretty proud of that.
I was 6' 180 when I graduated HS. 197 when I entered the fire academy and that was the max weight for my height to qualify. At that time I worked in construction, ran a pretty tough college cross country course 2-3 times a week and raced motocross on weekends. Those ht. to wt. charts were from life insurance actuarials and didn't take frame or build type into account.
Not going to go into where I am now.

Well at least you’ve gone down hill !😁

1969, right about this date, in fact...

140 - soaking wet. (After getting tossed into the "Solo Tank" for my first USAF solo flight.)

Rock, for me, "A long time ago, in a galaxy, far, far away".

No, I do not remember such a time.
