I'm between 6'4" and 6'5" and weigh about 255 right now, although my weight fluctuates a lot. I peaked at about 275 about a year ago. I've been told many times that I don't look like I weigh as much as I do.
The average goat is 45 kilograms in weight and 64 centimeters tall.
And this matters to roadgeeking how?? :confused: Keep "stuff" like this on Facebook or MySpace.

It's off topic. If no one wants to respond, they don't have to. I don't want to.
A suggestion: convert the question to one that asks for a single parameter, like body mass index, and make it a poll. This should attract more responses since people would not have to go on the record with their name explicitly coupled to their height and weight.

BMI is a flawed calculation.

I agree, weird question.
6'0" and 215 pounds.
...yes that was a random question but I don't see any shame in answering it. Would you like to know my shoe size? :P

It has the same limitations as a simple height/weight pair, but as a compact measurement it is easier to ask for in a poll.

Shoot, you beat me to that one :sombrero: :clap:
Numerically a lot less than yours :D.
I'm about yay-high and more than you'd want to throw.
Well I'm upset now....the BMI calculator called me "obese". :-( I'm 6' 4", 280#s...& the calculator says I'm a fat a$$! What a lovely way to perk up my spirits! :-D
I'm not a big person. 5'7" & 140 lbs.
I'm 8 ft 6 inches tall and weigh 15 lbs. :pan:

BMI is broken. Muscle weighs more than fat, so a perfectly healthy athletic adult could be considered overweight with a mere height/weight ratio. Also, different people have different bone structures.
What's important for 'weight' is your body fat percentage. Less than 14% of your body weight should be fat.
I'm 18.5 hands and 13.4 stone.
I have -3% body fat. I have to be careful not to handle butter outside its package or it will absorb through my skin.
I'm 17 018 000 000 Ã... (metric) or 1.86 yards (customary) and weigh 554 N (metric), or 1.12cwts (British customary). My mass is 1.12cwts (British customary) or 3.17*10^13 YeV (metric).
Oh, OK, if you want it in something that you can understand more easily 67 inches and 8stone 13.

Screw Google. I use this for converting units: http://www.onlineconversion.com/
Lots of fun units. Also, english si is a lightweight at 125 lbs, if I'm converting properly.

I doubt any mods are going to delete the thread at this point... A couple of them have even posted in here I believe!

is "8stone 13" common in British English? here in the US, we just use pounds.

But you use feet and inches, rather than inches. Did you find my 67 inches a little funny to compute (though not that difficult)? That's how I feel with pounds (we use feet and inches here too).
I'm also not a fan of large numbers of feet, instead of in yards - especially silly on the roads when not part of a height or width restriction. 15 yards is easy to visualise if you know what a yard is (though 15 is at the top end of numbers you can actually visualize easily), 45 feet isn't as the number is too big to imagine that amount of something in a row easily (this is why you get lots of specific units to give the right scale for the task at hand - chains, furlongs, etc). Obviously you can get used to it, like most people in the world have got used to the deliberately-divorced-from-human-experience-other-than-how-many-digits-we-have and metric system that was designed for abstract calculations, so being able to picture 45 ft becomes not that difficult.
OK, heights are more condensed (as most adults fit in the 5'0-6'11 bracket) than weights, but the use of two numbers in heights gives some element of sorting - if the first number is 6, the person is tall. With weights the large scale-fine tuning way of doing things works out easier. When I give my weight, the 8 says I'm light and you can turn off, the 13 says I'm at the heavy end of it if you want to be precise - we often drop the latter, adding in 'and-a-half's or 'nearly's. So I would be 'nearly 9 stone', or 'not quite 9 stone'. Given that you aren't going for more than a rough visualization and a comparison with weight 99% of the time, stone works well as a unit - almost like it was designed for such a purpose!
6-1, 210, last time that mattered was in a decade starting with an 8.
890—900 AD? That's the last decade to start with 8... :P
