Population of my current fortress, The Tower of Oranges. I'll put up some screenshots of the fort itself eventually.
What I like to do is turn off hauling on all my "important" dwarves (masons, smiths, miners, etc.) and turn the "unimportant" (nonmilitary, no useful labors) dwarves into a corps of haulers. If you're using DwarfTherapist (and you should be, if you value your sanity), you can set up custom professions so it's a lot faster to assign.

I wish you could have fat dwarves and slim dwarves that ate different amounts, I'd host a Food Eating Competition and winner gets a refurbished bedroom for themselves xD
Well, the dwarves do get fat depending on how much they eat and a couple of other factors iirc. You can check in their status menu -> description.
e.g. Urist McFatty is adorned with great hanging sacks of fat.
I'm also looking forward to adventuring on the same world as my fortress once it eventually collapses, as I've got a few artifact armor pieces lying around, as well as a good stockpile of bronze and steel weapons.
@KillTheCook my fortress is also being overrun by fisherdwarves and food... but it's not that bad because the dwarven caravans keep demanding fish in barrels and pay a high price for them. The only problem I have is that the fish keeps taking up my barrels and my dwarves sometimes don't have enough to brew their alcohol in, which is a very serious issue. I'm considering using half of my fisherdwarves as a suicide squad once the first megabeast shows up.
EDIT:
One of my speardwarves has mysteriously begun to hoard low quality crowns in his quarters. Not quite sure what to make of that. Also, cave fungi are starting to give my fortress some nice colour.
EDIT2:
Recently had two dwarves fall victim to a vampire (thankfully they were useless children). Two dwarves were accused, and I looked into both. I decided the one with the ridiculously long relationships list was the vampire, and made him pull my customised "suicide lever" (a lever connected to a support holding up a piece of land with a bolder on it). He wasn't in the correct position to be instantly pulverised, but he had both his legs and one of his hands broken beyond repair and I am now filling in the pit he's in with water to finish the job.
Also, turns out the vampire was the husband of the dwarf collecting all those crowns earlier.
Current population = 209

Reason: Not triple posting
Well, if the vampire doesn't manage to regenerate (they don't breathe by the way), you could potentially have them die from an infection. I know i had one vampire hammered 100 times in the most literal sense. He came out a permanent cripple (and ecstatic because he was free), with his spine broken in multiple places, and every single limb broken beyond repair. Several months later, he died in his bed, completely immobile and unable to breathe. This is where i found out that vampires don't breathe, because ever since the hammering, he was unable to do ANYTHING. That includes breathing.
