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.

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.

...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.

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.

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.

Look, I was just trying to make conversation.  I though tit was a good opportunity for us to get to know each other better.  If you don't want to answer, don't say anything.  Mods: Might as well lock this one and delete it.

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

Why would you need to do both?
