At 5'10'', 200 lbs, am i a big dude?

im trying to lose a few lbs. im a 34 in the waist, so im not terribly overweight, but just wondering...

well Im 6'1 at 220, and Im slightly overweight, so Id say your not terribly obese per se, but you are a bit over the healthy weight yes.

your ina similarbracket as me, im about 5' 11"but im only 145Lbs, i am incredibly skinny. are you muscular?

what is your bf%

Its a little heavy. But not really an unhealthy weight.

I'm 6'1" and back in high-school I was about 225, so I was about where you are at. And altough I did drop a bit of weight after I graduated, I never really considered myself fat.

I'm 5'11" and I weigh 180 pounds.

I would like to get down to 170 pounds, because when I look at that BMI chart or whatever it says healthy weight for 5'11" person is 175.

I'm 5'11'' and 145 pounds and I consider myself about average so it's up to you bud, but I say go for it.

I'm only 5'7...122 lbs...28 waist...since we're all telling each other how tall we are and such...and i don't think you're obese or anything..

Yep, you're a big dude. But not terribly big.

I'm 5'7-5'8, 135-140. I haven't weighed myself in awhile and I'm pretty sure I lost some weight.

I'm 5'9 and 170 pounds and I consider myself fat. My BMI is 24.4 I think, so I barely average weight.

Yep, you're a big dude. But not terribly big.

Oh good...:P

That isn't bad at all. You have potential to get into great shape.

Depends on how muscular you are. You may be able to stand to lose a few pounds but nothing a little work won't do for you.

Wow that chart is complete crap, I'm 6'3" and if I weighed 179lbs I'd look so gaunt and emaciated.

No. You're not big. In fact in the world of athletics and sports.. you're on the small/medium side.

I think most people who said you're big only say so because they're small themselves or aren't around many big people.

If I weighed 171 pounds I'd have like 3-5% body fat. and I'm only 5'8

THE bmi doesn't account for higher bone density.. higher muscle mass. BODY fat % is a much better indicator for if you're over weight or not. Not a chart telling you what weight range you should be in.

[QUOTE="Jamiemydearx3"]

[QUOTE="EMOEVOLUTION"] don't post that nonsense.. it doesn't account for people who train to build muscle.

im trying to lose a few lbs. im a 34 in the waist, so im not terribly overweight, but just wondering...

waltw_84

im 5 10, i also have a 34 waist (i have a big ass, curvaceous baby:)), and im 70kg/155lbs (200lb is 90kg). so perhaps you are relatively big.

Wow, I'm at the Low end :?

You're stocky

Going just by your height/weight, that is a little heavy. I'm about 6'0" and 165lbs, and i'm not exactly a beanpole. You're not obese or anything though, and it all kind of depends on what kind of build you have.fidosim

dang! Im 6'1" and weigh 220. And im not fat. It must be muscle. :?

You're big, I'm a few pounds lighter than you but roughly the same height, and even I look biggish.

But I'm happy with what I'm like, if you are too then love life.

That chart is pretty harsh. 5'10" 200 lbs, regular guy build, looks perfectly normal.

[QUOTE="Jamiemydearx3"]

[QUOTE="EMOEVOLUTION"] uh, what? you do know the healthy male body fat % is between 6-18% right? that scale assumes you're anywhere between those. but that's not true for people with more muscle mass. I'm in denial? Sports, training, and athletics were my life for 25 years. I went to school for athletic training. I think I know what I'm talking about here. What you posted is essentialy the BMI.. and though it's a decent gauge to determine a body weight for average people who don't do sports training.. it's not for those that do.
