Wulff, at 6'1" an ideal weight of 180 would be right if you are 25 but as we get older that "ideal weight" can change. Also those charts were written in the 60's and only slightly revised for the new better nutrition available today. People simply are stronger and bigger these days. Have had this talk with more than 1 Dr and they agree, I am 50 and at 6'1" they put my ideal weight more at 195. I would be very happy with 200 am a little high right now at 215.

Bicycle riding works...I know I have at least 6 of them...wonder where they are?
