Ideal Weight
no1birdman:
What weight should u be,I am 5ft 8 in and now weigh 168lbs which looks ok, but if u google your satistics I should be about 140lbs. I might have been this weight at 16 but not at 59.The trouble as u get older the weight comes off your face and u look older so u have to go steady.
Razor X:
168 lbs sounds about right for your height. It all depends on your build and how much muscle mass you have. 140 lbs does sound unreasonably thin; a lot of times the stats for "ideal" weights are. Go more by how you feel and how your clothes fit.

He is right... if you can pinch more than an inch of fat on you then you should try and lose weight. If you want to that is, lol. Use one of those body fat clipping devices (forgot what they are called) and go by that instead of weight.

Those height/weight standards are a buncha hog wash....
A large part of my practice is handling life insurance for my clients.....I'm constantly haggling with underwriters because of those damn things.
yeah...168 sounds more reasonable for 5'8"
GASlick:
I have no input on this. I'm 5'11" and weigh 155lbs. This is the heaviest I have ever weighed in my life! I eat, and eat and eat. I'm told I take after my great grandfather. he was the same way. Ate everything he could get his hands on never weighed more than 160 and died at 96 yrs old.
Oh, and he smoked a pack a day for 90 years! Good genes I guess.
