i was thinking 155 pounds maybe 160 pounds. my dad is 5’10 and only weighs 155 pounds and he seems plenty big enough. maybe i should try to get up to like 180 pounds like an athlete or something, but that seems to be pretty big for a short guy. what do you think?
Here’s a calculator to find out.

BMI calculator is not an accurate predictor of health. It is just a statistical analysis.
It all depends on your body type and build. Mr. Star is 5’10 and about 190, but he doesn’t have much fat on him. He’s just dense. His doctor always tells him he needs to lose weight, but I roll my eyes at that.

I am 5 foot 9 also.
My goals are different as I am trying to lose as much weight as possible.
Last March I was 96 kilos, and this April I am 69 kilos.
It has settled at this level now for about 6 months.
Before I got down to 59 kilos, but I don’t think that was done in a very healthy way
I just control my weight through lifestyle changes now rather than drastic dieting or over eating etc

5 foot 9 and 175 lbs seems to be ideal. Any thinner and you see it in your face. Any fatter and you will see it in your stomach.

I’m 5’9", and I weigh 240, which is ridiculous. My best walking around weight is 170. I’m built kind of stocky.

Probably 150 to 160. I’m 6”2 and my ideal weight is 180 but I have a thin body type

You probably could even go as low as 140

According to medical weight chart formula for men, you should start with 106 lbs. (for a male), and add 6 lbs. for every inch above 5 feet.
So, for you, that’s 106 plus 54 equals 160 lbs. So, your ideal weight is 160 lbs.
I agree, more or less, with @anon39239665 .

According to the BMI calculator (calculator.net) my normal weight ranges from 137 to 184 lbs. I’m trying to lose weight down to 180, then I’ll see.

My brother told me that he took some bone density test that said he was 1% Neanderthal and had very thick, heavy bones. I don’t know if he was serious, but I would love to think that my weight is not purely the result of obesity. lol

i have decided on 160 pounds, we will see how it goes, may get a little bigger than that or could be a little smaller than that.
Take a look at my photo that I posted in the Selfish thread. I am 177 pounds at 5 foot 6 and I look great. You can easily weigh 180 pounds and look pretty ripped.
