Yeh, sometimes it's easy to forget how much you weigh.  I had to carry an 
80kg table up stairs the other week - it took 3 people and it was quite 
awkward.  Then I realised that that's how much I weigh, and I have no 
problems carrying myself for 30 km up and down hills!

What a coincidence - I weigh 80 Kg as well!

Anybody else here weigh 80 Kg??

PS. I especially like my mum's weighing scales. When you put your weight 
onto them, it wedges the dial in place so it can't rotate. So if you 
rock from side to side, you can make it read anything you want. Makes it 
hard to get the "real" answer though...

Depends on where you hit them and how the frame is constructed (and of 
what).  The back of our sofa actually needs to be fixed, as the main 
support across the top of the back is apparently broken.

You should've tried axe instead - and think where you'll hit before 
hitting...

Pansy.  I weigh 250 (about 115kg).

Though I'm trying to lose some of that.

don't know.

I've been trying off and on for a couple of years - I was around 235 when 
I started going to the gym, but I haven't been in a couple of months due 
to various family health issues.

My "ideal" weight would be around 195-200.

...well, the roof is still on. But some of the doors and windows are 
missing now.

My dad interjects: "Oh, that's just local thugs..."
