Is weighing 54 kilograms at 170 centimetres underweight? Or for you Americans, is weighing 119 pounds at 5 ft 7 underweight.

I just posted in the good news thread about this - I’ve been working to get into shape and just hit 120lbs at 5’7" as well. From everything I’ve looked into (and I’ve done a lot of research in the last year), that’s not underweight. It’s on the low end, but you’re fine. 115 or under is when I’d start to be concerned.

Next Movie You'll Never See
Time

Because we clearly don’t have enough movie threads, here’s one more!

What’s the nearest upcoming movie that you have zero interest in seeing and will actively avoid watching unless somehow forced to?

Rules:

  • No movies currently in theaters or already out of theaters. It has to be a movie that has not yet been released.
  • No movies you’re on the fence about. Has to be something that you’ll never watch no matter how good you’re told it is.
  • No TV series or miniseries. Movies only!

Been trying to get in shape lately (I stopped saying “lose weight” to people because I got sick of the “But you’re so skinny, you don’t need to lose weight!” responses - sure, I wasn’t an orca, but I’d been too self-conscious to take my shirt off around other people for years), and I hit two milestones today that made me very happy:

  • 120lbs (pretty much my final weight goal - I’m a 5’7" small-framed dude and when I started trying this I was 155lbs, and at my worst I was 165-170)
  • I could see ab muscles when I looked in the mirror for the first time in my life!

Now I just have to lose the last little bit of belly/hip fat and build up/tone some muscle to keep myself at 120-125. I’m like 98% of the way to where I wanted to get when I started actually trying, and while it took longer than I wanted, it didn’t take nearly as long as I feared. We’ll see how long it takes for that last 2%.

Get in shape while you’re young and keep yourself there, kids. It gets harder the older you get and the more you let yourself go. I’m just glad I finally tackled this at 28 instead of in my 30s or 40s, but hell if I don’t wish I’d done this at 18 and maintained from there.

My last friend who I had just stopped talking to me. I’m stoned all the time now and also might have gotten a speeding ticket. I’m just messing everything up right now and all I want to do is just smoke more and more pot to get rid of the anxiety. I also have to keep it a secret from my friends since they decided they thought I was getting out of hand. But it doesn’t even matter anymore since they don’t even talk to me. God, I just feel so isolated.

That sucks, man. I’m sorry.

Possessed hit the nail on the head when it comes to pot, though. Being a little high often is one thing, but being full-on stoned all the time causes its own host of problems, damage to social relationships included.
