Weight for someone 6'0?!


Question: I'm 6'0 tall and am currently dieting and hope to get down to 220 lbs. I was wondering if that is a good weight for my height. I believe it is because of my frame or should I attempt to shoot for something lower? I currently weight 317 lbs. Any insight is helpful, thanks!!

a lot depends on how you are built. 220 is still a little on the heavy side, but some well trained athlete's can be 6' and 220 because of thier muscle mass. i am 6'2" and i stay fit. the BMI says i am obese at 215-220, but i look good at that. working out causes me to run heavier. if i drop down below 200 like the charts want, i look like a skeleton.

when i began losing weight, i didnt set a number goal. i decided i was going to workout and get fit, eat healthy and find balance. if i were you, i would make that my goal. make a life choice to eat healthy and workout, and then leave the weight to find its own level. you will know where that is when you can't really drop any more without starving yourself.

If you look up a BMI chart, it will tell you what your weight should be.
