By "in my head" I meant the weight, as in, I have a big head. But thanks for your condescending input and congrats on your petite frame.
Actually, 215 is Overweight per the BMIs and that is what I was looking at. And maybe you are fairly muscular; sounds like it from all the activities you do.

Yes, I will admit that I have a "petite frame." However, at 6-2, 220, I am solidly overweight. My frame actually matches up almost exactly with the BMI charts. When I get over 236, I feel obese and unhealthy. When I get below 194 (which I did a few years back) I feel a lot healthier.

Besides... you did ask for comments.....
