Here's a chart, it says 10.5-11 stones is healthy.

At 5'8" and 160, I'm just sitting in the normal weight, almost overweight catagory...

I guess I'm going to have to go elk hunting to lose a bunch...

I am 69" (5'9"). At 69" you should weigh around 160 - 165. I got up to 182 before I left Alaska (3 years ago). Then worked my way down to 175 while living in Idaho. Before leaving Idaho, I managed to get down to 165. I fluctuate between 163 and 167 now.

I owe credit to a book called the "Abs Diet". Pretty easy to follow. Heck, I don't even consider it a diet...just a road map to a healthy lifestyle.

I'll admit this week hasn't been the best though. I've avoided the gym all this week due to a nasty cold. Today I'm feeling good, but the wife made these contageous chocolate chip cookies.

At 6 feet & 212, I'm still at least 10 lbs. over what I'd like to hit the hills weighing...it's been 2 steps forward and slide back one all summer. Cardio and resistance daily without fail but not enough discipline with the nutrition. The resting heart rate and strength is on track but unless I hit the 200-202 range, the stamina will suffer.

...my repetitive phrase:.."I need to get serious."

Ovis is right...healthy choices and moderation.

Well let the fat man speak

I am just a knats ass under 5'9" and weigh a whopping 235 ( in January was 275# ) but when I was in my peak and I am talking dunk a volley ball shape and could run like moosie just passed wind I was 200-205 . I was able to keep up with most of the ISU X country team going up Table rock just on the Idaho side and across from the GRAND TETON mountain .
I am starting to feel better but will be happy when I get back to 210-215 .

I am 5'9 or a couple inches shorter, and weigh in at 245, but I am big boned, that makes the difference. LOL, if I could just get these big bones to loose weight I would be OK.

 

[Elkhunter]

At 6', I weigh between 185 & 195 on a regular basis. Used to look like I had a body to die for until my chest fell down and now sits on my belt. Ahhhhhhhhh, the problems one has when they age.

 

[Moosie]

Whiskers. My friend has "BIG BONES"..... But I never understood that. All the Skeletons I've seen in movies are all the same size

Elkhunter, I'm 32 and my chest already is in my belly...

It depends on how fat you are.

I'd second that recommendation. I love the chocolate banana protein smoothies for breakfast! hump
