The Average right now is: 178 lbs or 81kg
The median value is 175lbs.
I took all the numbers entered so far, remove the two lowest and highest responses, to make sure we eliminated any outliers. Leaving 106 entries There are 51 entries above this number and 55 below this number. Where a range was provided, I took the median of that range. For example if you said 170-175 it was taken as 172.5. Where a winter and summer weight were given, the winter was assumed. Unless provided, pounds was assumed.
I think that this is probably enough entries, that if we added more that it wouldn't change very much.
So to the OP there is your answer.

No one has accounted for participation bias. I.e., how many of the 250 - 300+'rs are REALLY going to post their weights - especially if it is not anonymous?
OTOH, those with BMI's of 12 will be more than pleased to show off a bit.
