I also hate buying jeans.  Not only do brands somehow not measure the same way (one pair can say it's 2 inches larger and feel 3 inches tighter) but I can never find the correct ratio of length and width, and if I do find the damn thing, it happens to be the wrong brand (see above) and is actually just in the store to make me feel fat.

Same here, and buying shorts is even worse. I have to basically buy the largest pair they have, which is typically several inches wider than I need, otherwise everything looks like Daisy Dukes on me. Hooray for belts.

I definitely feel like I'm carrying about 10 (and by 10 I mean 20) pounds more than I want to be right now. College was a mess for me, gastronomically; I started eating red meat, I'd eat a big meal once a day, and I'd sit at a computer way, way too much.... but at least I walked everywhere and did Jew Jitsu. Now I'm home and I'm all driving everywhere and kicking significantly less ass. No good.

Still searching for a diet tea/soda that doesn't A) taste like sewage or B) give me a hangover.

Don't spike it?

I'll try that.

Aspartame. It's the aspartame. Apparently, it gives some people headaches. Who knew?

I've never experienced a problem like this until recently, but in reverse.

I got a pair of 29 waist jeans that couldn't have been smaller than a 34, seriously, they fall straight off me if I don't wear a belt. It made me feel even more anorexic than usual the next few times I went shopping for pants.

Lies. You would only stand 5' 2" and weigh 98 lb if you shaved your head.

I also am afflicted by "nothing fits" syndrome. There is currently one style of jeans, by one manufacturer, in one size that will fit me... and I live in terror that they will go out of production. Part of the the problem is that all of my exercise comes from cycling, so I have massive, disproportionate thighs.

Actually, it's kind of funny... I buy all the same jeans and once every year or two I buy like 10 golf shirts, same style, just different colours.

My wardrobe is LITERALLY, the cartoon character wardrobe where every outfit is the same, every single day.

Final note: Rygaron et al in the skinny crew (except Geo): How old are you? Because I was once 145 lbs. Trust me, after you hit 25 it's like a light switch is turned off.

[Beat Bandit]

You people already know my name and weak spot. I can't be giving everything away.

[Mongrel]

Whether you're over 25 or not is irrelevant to me, I was just saying that it might be relevant to you.

[Alex]

6'2" and seemingly always shifting between 255-260 lbs, but it's gradually lowering bit by bit since I've been eating out a lot less in the last year and getting a lot more exercise.  

For the most part though, I think I wear it pretty well.  Like Zed, I'm still getting shit from the triple X rack while enjoying the satisfaction of watching it become more and more like a deflated balloon until I'll be able to pitch my clothes up like a tent in the backyard and go camping in them.

If you guys want to complain about buying jeans, try being female.  Sizes vary wildly from store to store, but even between the kind of pants.  At one place I could be a size 4, another place a size 8.  At least guys have standard fucking measurements.  And every pair of jeans for a girl is expecting you to be very tall and very thin.

I'm fucking 5' 1/2" and I buy size 6-8s depending on how loose I want the jeans, and then no matter what, I have to hem the fucking things like 2 inches in the legs.  I'm also 115, last time I checked.  My metabolism died when I hit 21 and I gained 10 lbs--I didn't change anything about my lifestyle, I just gained 10 lbs and a stupid fucking cupsize in my stupid bra.  Kazz doesn't complain though :T

[Bongo Bill]

Six foot even, weight probably around 145. I have never been able to gain weight except through muscle mass.

I have no difficulty finding pants that fit me, because apparently all the bones below my spine stopped growing at age fifteen. I can determine whether pants will fit, regardless of printed size, upon sight. "Do these appear to be the same size as the pants I already own? They do? How wonderful!" I only occasionally find it necessary to wear a belt.

Of course, even I notice the tendency for pants small enough to fit me, but not sized for homonculi, to be rare in the pants store.

[Brentai]

Now you understand why I don't want to be in a room full of you people.  You'd all be like tall... tall wispy grass and treetrunks to me.  I'd need a machete just to hack my way through a growth of you.

Also I'm clearly overestimating the normality of my dimensions.

[Büge]

5'8" and 155lbs. I used to be an enourmous fatty, mind you. It took some doing over a couple of years, but I'm a hundred pounds lighter than I was at 19.

Strange. I'm skinnier than when I was 25. Could be the vegan diet. I recall Koipond being a slim and trim gentleman.

[Joxam]

My did is 51 years old. He's also 6'3" and he tips the scales at 175 pounds. This man eats anything he wants all day long. I love my father but I hate his metabolism.

Having seen you in person, I must say that that 100 lbs is quite the impressive acheivement. I'd honestly never have guessed.

He's basically fit, but he does have to be careful. Koipond's metabolism/tendency to fat is inherently terrible (hey guys what a genetic legacy that's part French, part Native, and all hibernating bear?). Note for the kids: Yes, you can still become obese on a vegan diet. It takes more effort, but it's still easy enough.

[Kashan]

6'6" 340.  I was in a room with a few thousand people yesterday and I could see over all of them. 

[Classic]

I can't even imagine what kind of shape those proportions indicate. My brain doesn't know how to scale that.

Well, it does, but that guy wanted to get into the olympics as a kickboxer.
