What is your ideal weight?

Calculate your ideal weight (http://www.anabolicreview.com/fitcalc.php)

My ideal weight is 160, and I'm at 180. :(

That' bull they say I should be at a 142 pounds. That's what I weighed when I got out of High School and I was skinny as hell. I was wearing 29 waist pants.

Mine should be 166. I'm probably no more than 140, meaning I'm underweight. What can I say, I'm a small guy.

the "ideal weight" standards are just an average. these standards do NOT adjust for bone density or muscle mass. people who are more well muscled will weigh more than people, with about the same dimentions, but have more fat. furthermore, weight is less important than fitness. so actually, some people who start fitness training actually gain weight as they become more fit.

i am a case in point... i stand 5'6".
</font> in 2000 i weighed 155 lbs, definitely overfat, and i was feeling it.</font></font> in 2001 i went on a weightloss plan using primarily using calorie reduction, some exercise: i dropped to 135, my college weight.</font></font> from 2002 to present i have been doing astanga yoga (http://www.worldartsfocus.org/highlights.html#yoga%20artical): i built upper body strength, firmed and toned and i feel great. i haven't been in this good of shape since i was like 12! i currently weigh about 145. my waistline is actually smaller than it was when i was 135 due to improved muscle tone.</font>
so the weigh number is less important than your actual level of fitness. ideally one should work toward overall fitness and health.

so the weigh number is less important than your actual level of fitness. ideally one should work toward overall fitness and health. No question muscle is heavier than fat therefore if you pump it up you'll be heavier, but more fit. Plus muscle burns fat. This is an ideal wieght chart, not including any other variables.

It is also true that someone could weigh 175, and be flabby, then workout and lean up and still weigh 175, but instead with a leaner body.

Hey Lola, I went to an astanga class for a couple of months. Everyone in that class was thin and muscled up. I have not been back there in a minute.


As for my weight, I'm 240 now at 6'4". I just need to tone up and lose this married man's gut.

I just need to tone up and lose this married man's gut. there's a good studio on the north side called n.u. yoga center (http://www.yogamind.com/) that has some pretty cool teachers. if you want to lose the gut, astanga is a great way to do it. nevermind what the other students look like, i'm sure they weren't born like that. it all comes in time.

my ideal weight is 120.

I was 120 about 4 years ago because I was dating a vegan, so I cut down on my meat intake. I saw a picture and, in my opinion, I looked sick. Right now I'm 135-138...I gained about 5-8 pounds after I quit smoking. I was happy @ 130, so that's what I'm shooting for and what I'm happy with.
