I'm 18, and was 135 pounds before this summer, but could have gained a few pounds this summer O.o I'm kinda depressed by that already =/

I just turned 18 and only 130 pounds :P. I guess by the time I reach 35 I will be fat.
I don't personally know any gamers over the age of 25. I have met some online that are older but they are far from the norm it seemed like.

lol >_
anywho yep gamers don't move around a lot so i'm guessing being fat and depressed isn't too inconceivable

I'd normally make a comment about correlation and causation, but it seems they've actually found causation. Well, hopefully with the take off of fitness games there will be fitness games akin to core games (although they'd probably be played for shorter times than core games), and that may have an impact on this effect of gaming. Physical activity does add to the enjoyment of a game.

How tall is everyone in this thread?

Goodness. I'm 19 and weigh 195. I'm also 6'2" though.

im 20, female, 110lb (55kg, i dont know. conversions suck) and i've been gaming since i was knee-high tae a grasshopper, and i'm HAPPY! i guess i dont fit any of the stereotypes.

edit: i'm 5'4"

i m 20 132lbs and happy =)
i guess i m not your average gamer.

I am 18, 160 pounds, 5' 11", and depressed because no one will hire me so I can get a freaking job.

18, 135 before the summer began (could be 135-145 now... how heavy is 10 pounds? I just lost definition and the skin tightness I used to have), and I'm 5'3" T.T my mom always complains about my height... even though its her fault (we're nearly the same height).

so no one thinks this article is legit either?
