Ideal Weight Chart

And...
anyone who is over 200 better be at least 6'1"

Me personally, if I can get in the low 2-teens, I'll be about 10 lbs past where I know I'm at my best. At 250, I'm very uncomfortable.
Is it uncomfortable because you aren't used to it or because it is not healthy for you? I feel odd when I get to lower body weights but it is because I'm not used to it. I don't let that stop me and keep moving on. However it's a real thing. You feel different, people tell you that you are looking different and it is somewhat derailing.

Strive for healthiest, whatever that weight (bf%, etc) may be.
