BODY WEIGHT???

onmyway Posts: 4 Joined: 2003/09/22	2003/09/22, 01:18 PM My body weight for my height is very high. Although I do have quite a bit of muscle..(and fat)it really gets me down. According to some charts I have seen I should weigh like 135. I weigh 199. I know that I do need to lose bodyfat, but 65 pounds seems like an aweful lot of weight for me to loose. If I were to weigh 135 I think that I would look waif-ish. Do I just need a reality check or do these body weight charts depend on the particular body?

Muscle is very dense and therefore weighs more than fat. They do not take this into account. You are exactly right. -------------- Great people never want it easier, they just want to be better! Ron
