200 lbs would be a low weight for someone who was 6' 6" tall with a very muscular build!Yes, just under 200 lbs...
I am 6' 1" and a medium build but I think I peaked at about 250 lbs!
(High 180s now and wanting to get back down to about 175 lbs = 12 st 7 lbs)

currently at 118Kg . I was 128Kg on 1st July . I was 125Kg when i got back from Holiday mid august .
thats 7Kg in 7 Weeks 1kg a week , just a about perfect on the %age figures.
mainly by NOT drinking copious amounts of beer/alcohol in the week.
only problem is is that to get trousers to fit my thighs ( large and muscular - Yes really - best feature of me according to wifey) i need a size 42 waist. which is FOUR inches too big so i look like a tramp when i tighten the belt.

I am the same , I have lost 9 kg over last 9 weeks , waist size 42 to size 38 but my thighs are still 28 inches , my goal is to lose at least another 9 kg and get down to a 34 waist but I fear I will be cutting about in a pair of trousers from the MC Hammer range .

It's a bit more complicated than that...
Crikey. The things you learn.
At my weight nadir I was 14 and a half stone - just over 200 pounds or 92 kilos. I just about managed to squeeze my waist into 38" trousers. Those trousers have been banished temporarily to the back of the wardrobe until I can lose the four-odd stone I've put on since then. I thought my frame was reasonably normal, but obviously not - I must genuinely be big-boned as well as over-weight.

A year ago i was just over 100kg , and I got down to 78kg in about 9 months
Being diagnosed as type 1 diabetic i ditched most of the carbs , just having the odd small portion of root veg ( not potato) and uping the exercise
Hasnt moved much in the last 3 months , largely down to the odd bad diet day and missing training sessions, but my blood sugars are good
Going to up the exercise now , get the long sinday rides back in and a bit of jogging to see if i can shift that last 8 kg

[QUOTE 4508865, member: 9609"]how do you measure your waist ?
[/QUOTE]
At the thinnest point, about an inch above your belly button in relaxed state. It will typically be several inches more than the trouser size, so 36.5 sounds about right.
waist to height ratio should be less than 0.5.

An over-used phrase!
"While a larger frame may account for a couple of pounds, she says, it’s definitely not getting you off the hook for an extra 30. “Most people’s weight is carried in their soft tissue — muscle, fatty tissue, their organs,” says Lajam, “so blaming extra weight on your bones is not accurate.” And she should know: While performing knee and hip replacements on overweight patients, she sees those bones firsthand. “One of my mentors would say: ‘I have seen your bones, and they’re not big...”

Do you weight yourself at the same time each week , I find my weight fluctuates 2-3lb during the course of a day so I weight myself at the same time each week , first thing in the morning as I am always at my lightest then .
