Sounds like me - except about 25 lbs overweight (more on this in a sec) and I don't smoke.

Now on to my thoughts - I think the weight guidlines are a little messed up. I'd look like a string bean if I followed them - I am 5' 9", so they say I should be 150 lbs? Come on! What are they thinking??? I am fine at 175 lbs. I feel good. I feel like my weight is in appropriate proportion to my height, and I discount their idea of what is considered overweight. I have no desire to be 150 lbs.

Am I the only on that feels this way?

-S

PS. I have been known to have a good cigar coupled with a good bottle of cab - so the smoking thing is not entirely true.
No this whole BMI thing is messed up. I don't think it takes into account of build structure either. You can be too thin as well, I am a firm believer of that.

Nothing like a good cigar either.
I'm just right. I'm fit enough to were my pants fit as well as my shirts. I'm tall enough for my legs to reach the ground. What more do I need?


I'll take a Punch cigar and Johnny Walker scotch.....hold the water in the scotch..straight is fine.
