That's starting to sound much less ridiculous, even with copious amounts of muscle like I have from previously being a powerlifter.
I just looked up the BMI calculations and I should be around 210 lbs. I remember the last time I was 210 lbs and I guess I was not unhealthily skinny... I got down to about 190 lbs for a while and that was too small. I am sure I have gained some muscle since then (that was when I was 20 years old). I will see what I can do.
