Yeah...the lowest I've weighed in my adult life (after reaching my full height) was 165 at age 29 and I was a friggen rail, man. And those charts STILL said I was overweight for my height.
Sorry J_B, me and the guys didn't mean to piss all over your original post....but it did open up an interesting topic as far as fitness.

6' 1", 165? Shoot, you could sing for Tesla! Wait a minute, you can't sing.
In order for me to be in the normal weight range for the BMI calculations, I'd have to weigh 183 lbs (21 lbs lighter). Although I wouldn't be sickly skinny, I'd be too thin in my book.

Tesla ROCKS !!!

I agree with PB on those charts. I am similar to Robmeister in build; 6' 2" 242.
I am heavier than I like to be right now and am planning on getting down to about 220. If I go by the charts, I believe it says I should weigh around 187 or so! I could never imagine myself under 200, I think I would look skinny. I was at my lowest of 214 about ten years ago, and I felt the best and was in the best shape of my adult life.
I agree with Razor, these charts are a guideline and not real world. You do have to take in muscle mass, etc. As others have said, eating healthy and exercising is the key.
And Tesla does rock!
