What is the ideal weight for men over 70

According to the medical field your mass BMI is all B.S., they don't take into account for your type of build or anything else, They told me I should weigh 165 LBS at 6' 2" tall. I weight that in the 8th or 9th grades. Right now I am 229, I do CrossFit, exercise 2 hours per day 3-4 times per week. They don't have a clue, don't let them confuse you. Eat healthy, exercise regular. As long as you feel good that is all that matters. Ask yourself one question, when you were in your prime, what did you weigh, that should be your goal.

In 2005 I lost 76 lbs, from 256 to 180. I went in for my annual physical and just knowing that I was going to impress my PCP, who by the way put me on a low-carb diet, looked at me and with a stern face, said, you are overweight! Wow, talk about an eye opener. This was the funny part: he said that I need to hit my TARGET WEIGHT! I don't even remember what he said after that, I was really disappointed. I think the lowest that I got to was about 170 and stopped there. I hope to settle in at around 175 or so. I forgot to mention that this time one of my goals is to totally flatten my stomach. I gain most of my weight in the gut and it looks like I am carrying a watermelon under my shirt. So, thanks for the info and it looks like I am starting to agree with views such as yours to help me hit my TARGET WEIGHT. Whatever that might be. Sincerely, Ernest Villarreal, Euless, Tx.
