well my wife wants me to lose some weight. i told her no way. i'm at the lowest weight i've ever been and the reason she wants me to lose weight is because some yahoo at the photo studio she works at is a big health nut ,emphasis on the nut,and thinks i'm too fat. btw i'm 6'5" and i weigh 230 pounds ,so i think i'm a pretty good weight for my height. anybody got anything they want to add?

laxatives are easier than excersize?[;)]
Ben
I have a $2 off coupon that expires today. [:p]
If I weighed what it said, I would look like a concentration camp survivor.
I am 6'1", and right at 200 lbs.
Sure, could I lose 5 or 10 pounds maybe,.....yes.
Those charts say I should weigh 175 or less.
No way for me.[xx(]
Saying you are 6'5 and 230 is about as descriptive as "it is a car"
Some people call me a health nut.. but... well maybe I am...
Yeah. Why does she care what some freak thinks of you? Who is she married to anyways?
Personally, I would make it a point to meet up with he little nit-wit and inform him to STFU. I would further tell him if he doesn't, I would be happy to break his femur and watch him bleed to death.
But, hey, thats just me.
Well there is alot more to it than "I am 6'5 and 230" what is your bf%? Do you have any idea what your lean body mass is? You could be 230 but only carrying 160 LBM and in that case... yes you would be FAT at over 30% bf. If you want a basis to even have a logical discussion then goto your local Y and have a Body Comp done.

Dead on on this topic as usual.......
I know guys who are 6'5" 230lbs weak and soft as all get out, someone can be 5'9 and 160lbs and technically not underweight but can still be very fat in terms of BF%, I consider someone lean only if they are vascular (visible bicep vein for instance, visible cut between bicep and shoulder) and muscular not skinny and flabby
i've met the guy a couple times at the parties my wifes boss throws for Christmas and the dude makes it a point every year to point out my shortcomings to my wife( i never graduated high school,never went to college, and the fact i own more guns than my local sheriffs department and that i just plain ain't right for her.) i broke the guy's nose at one party after he mouthed off about my choice of career.(i was a security guard at the time)and as for the body fat stuff, its just something the morons in Kalifornia want everyone to worry about ,so they start buying the danged health food that costs about as much as a box of premium match grade ammo.
Sounds like you need to do some "tap dancing" on the feller. A dark alley and a tire iron just MIGHT be the ticket.
If it were me, I would learn him a thing or two about running the piehole. Sucking lunch through a straw for six month just might fix his malfuction.

Your more recent post sure makes it sound like you've got problems other than your fitness.
This dude is after your WIFE!
I kinda thought that from the first post Dave. [:)]
Edit:
You ever listen to Bob and Tom? You aren't Mr. Obvious are you? [:D][;)]

God...how I love that skit! I like the one when he calls in because he was having some work done at his house and walked in his room and found the construction worker on top of his wife.
What station are they on now? and what time do they have MR Obvious on?[:D]

BF% is actually alot to worry about... too high and you have serious health problems... too low and hormone levels go wacky. As for health food... easy... chicken, fish, beef, taters, rice, veggies, fruit... clean healthy eating is not expensive at all... actually it is cheaper than eating the pre packaged crap that most people put into their bodies.
Sounds like you and this guy have issues... actually sounds more like you and your wife have issues.. if anyone ever insulted David I would have (and actually have) said some choice (or not so choice depends on your view) things and would not deal with them on a personal basis anymore. If your wife chooses to talk to him even though he insults you then she obviously values him more than you.

6'4" 240.Until I was 35 I went 180 and everybody said I was to thin and couldn't gain weight been adding 5lbs a year since then.
I was 6-2 and 180 by age 15 and my high school wrestling coach was constantly after me too get up to 200 pounds because I was too thin. 38 years later if I could get down to 200 I'd be doing back flips (honest, I used to be able to do them)!

The dude is after your wife...and might already have a foothold.
i kinda figured the dude was after my wife after he bought her a fur coat because he thought of her in it. i ended up pawning the coat and buying a .454 casull revolver with the cash i got. once again for the Kalifornia health nuts, i strength train every other day and i watch my health like i have since i was in mixed martial arts.i get regular check ups from my family doctor who has a severe dislike for fad diets.he's been around long enough to have seen every idiotic fad since the 60's
so this guy buys your wife a fur and she took it? Yeah....and you think things are ok at home? ok then....
I want to maintain the same weight, but lose my belly (not big as it is).
That BMI stuff is crazy.
If I weighed what it said, I would look like a concentration camp survivor.
