Are you pleased with your current weight?

I'd be happy with 190. I was 202 this morning.

As for 168, I just liked that scene in on the Waterfront. I blew through 168 in the 9th grade and haven't been anywhere near that since.

I got down to 190 a couple of years ago which is the same weight that I was when I was 18. However the distribution had changed somewhat. :(

I lost about 10 kg in 2013 and have mostly kept it off since then. went from 72 kg to 62 kg which was my goal - last couple of years have been sitting at 65 - little bit over goal but close enough.
that gives me a BMI of 23 - 24

I wish we had the metric system. It's a sign of an advanced civilization. But no. instead we have this stupid system based on the length of the foot of some long dead King in the Middle ages. :(
 
Yesterday, at 65.5 inches (166.4cm) weight had dropped to 134 pounds, (60.8kg). After a 3 day weekend of binging, weight went up to 140# briefly that was mostly due to liquid, (especially added sugar into lemonade) that happens to me all the time but is quickly lost in a few days. This BMI ~22 person, is about 2 pounds under my usual weight as have lost some upper body muscle mass due to lack of upper body exercise after my upper body surgery May 1. Since I will carrying up in mountain wilderness about 55 pounds of gear backpacking in about a week, expect that will increase a bit.

My highest ever weight was at age 55 at 145# after working 5 years at a corporation with subsidized cafeterias with lots of usual meat lunches so many others tend to eat. That also apparently caused my finger arthritis that hasn't worsened since I stopped eating regular red meat. One strong reason for never gaining excessive weight that young people should consider is that when those that do reach senior ages, their inner skin structures do not easily reduce, that can result in ugly wrinkles. That is also a strong reason never to take up body building.
