Re: what do you weigh
I am 6' and weigh 215 lbs.
Thats 98KGs and 180cm for metric users.
We converted to metric here in Australia when I was a young man so I still remember feet and inches,miles and lbs.

Re: what do you weigh
5'4"/111 after gaining 5-6# from 5 months on CPAP. Severe OSA creates a hyper-metabolic state. Now I know why for years, I could eat anything I wanted and weigh so little. Initially, I attributed the low weight to competitive running. Does anyone else have a similar experience?

I believe that severe OSA created a hypo-metabolic state in me, if anything. Clearly it messed up my ghrelin and leptin.unsuspected Severe OSA wrote:5'4"/111 after gaining 5-6# from 5 months on CPAP.

5'6.5" (used to be 5'7", darn it!), 125 lbs today after eating about 20 hamentashen in the last week... Hoping to go down to 120 +/- 2 (most likely +). BMI just under 20.

Re: what do you weigh
The positive and certain thing is that if you have obstructive apnea and overweight, reducing your weight may get better your OSA.
Please excuse my limited English.
Re: what do you weigh
I need to lose about 25 pounds, but the first 68 didn't change my OSA, and the proof of all the skinny folks here bares witness to the fact that OSA is not just a FAT person's condition.

You may not be overweight, but your throat might be

Re: what do you weigh
yes, i lost nearly 3 inches due to 2 neck fusions and osteoporosis. Don't believe it when they tell us SKINNY people get osteoporosis either, diseases don't follow the rules of usuality.

Re: what do you weigh
6' @ 285 lbs . Down at 240 lbs I looked more like a NFL football player, at 285 lbs I look like, well, a overweight NFL football fan . PAP therapy is giving me more afternoon energy to get back into working out in the home gym. Hopefully by this time next year I will be back down where I look and feel the best
