I wouldnt say im fat..... Ive got a few lbs to drop, but at 235 and under 15% bodyfat I think im doin okay :D
Some nurse called me obese in a physical exam... I had to show off some abs and the gunshow  .... She still marked me as obese.... So I complained, got "calipered" and was told I was around 13-14%bf which is pretty damn good (i
was about 30% 2 years ago)

I'm about 230. I'd consider my ideal weight about 220. I'm 6'4" so there's no way I could weigh 160. I've been on the "obese" list on those charts
as well.

Bobby, we are almost identical in weight and height. I agree with you, those charts are for the average height person and not the "vertically gifted"
people like us. Chart said I was moderately obese last year also I would be
nothing but skin and bones at 160lbs:o

Four years ago I weighed 145. I decided that was way too skinny for an adult male just under six feet tall, so I did something about it. I gained
weight on purpose. I am now a happy 210, but very muscular. Doctor told me I was fat, but same situation, I took off my shirt and showed him that I
was certainly not "fat" just dense.  I can't even float in the ocean with lungs
full of air...

Guys, I'm a bit of a light weight. I weight 120-130 and am 6 feet tall. I am 'fit' but I don't go to the gym. I have very strong legs and average
upper body strength. My body fat is <5%. My food prep. teacher said I need to gain some weight and to eat more.
The thing is I can eat whatever I want and how much I want and I never go over 130. My metabolism is so high that If I skip one meal a day for a week
I lose 10 pounds. I'm not sure if it is good or bad.

@250 with no shame. Though cheeseburgers aren't the issue...it's my gourmet masterpieces on a bun. There's a reason that I'm known by some as simply,
"the meat man." And yes, it has been quiet...a little too quiet.

This forum has dwindled considerably in the last year or more. I used to have days I would post more than 10 times. Now I probably don't post 10
times a week. Neither me nor my passion has changed, only the makeup of the forum.

Wow, there are a lot of fat bastard kiters :o
I fattened up to 162 last year when doing a lot of travel for work then dropped 30 pounds with serious exercise and diet changes but put 13 pounds of
lean muscle back on and have been holding around 145 for the past year.
Might I suggest Sixpackshortcuts, Insanity, P90x or Focus T25 be added to your quivers :P

History shows that I would burn some fat, add some muscle and weigh just about the same. I'd look better and be in better shape though!

Those charts were made in like 1700s by a Dutch life-insurance agent or something dumb like that. They're total crap. I'm 6'1" and have been under 10%
body fat but was still "obese" according to the chart. In a class of my own now 
Am still The Heaviest Kiteboarder in Japan but not The Fattest!
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

I've been hanging around 190-200 lbs for a few years now. I was at the doc last week (I'm a lab rat for a diabetes drug trial) and I weighed in at 198
lbs... CRIPES!!!!
I'd love to drop 15-20 or more, but I just can't find the time to work out... Much less kite 
I'm going to take a nap now

I put my vote in, not happy about it, but did it any way! By time I get to the OCT bash I hope to be a little more slim and trim! Been out of shape,
(other than round shape) for a little bit, time to get myself back in line!
I can still hang though! :D

I dress out at about 220 in the middle of winter. Summer time weight is usually about 185-190.
This summer I've been slacking up until the last month, eating too much junk actually. I was 210 about a month ago now I'm at 195. I'd like to get
down to 180-185 before winter. Like Kami, I'm usually the heaviest rider in the bunch.
