nearing 80
Used to be 6', closer now to 5'10.5" at 185 lbs, lost about 40 lbs last couple of years. Do a lot of resistance training - chinups, pushups, pullups, planks, dips, etc. so good muscle tone and volume.

6'1" 213.5 lbs. Down from 250 lbs 7 months ago. Gonna try to lose another 13.5 lbs then maintain. I look skinny now so below 200 I'll probably look sickly....

Funny this showed up on tonight on email alert as I posted 6 years ago!
2010, 250# and got down to 218# for racing before I woke up. 2.5 years of Crossfit later I'm back up to 235# with a 300# back squat and a 400# deadlift and I can now flex the Ti frame on my custom road bike. I'm so much more fit and healthy than when all I did was ride.....

5’9 163 lbs. 69 years old.
My first biological grandchild was born on Valentine’s Day. I decided that I wanted to see her grow up so I dropped 30 pounds over the course of 5 months. Changed my diet. No seconds, lots of vegetables and some meat.
I can now ride up hills that I had to walk.

At 53 years old, with a height of 5'-5" I currently weigh in at about 170.
Have been losing weight slowly for two years, but I'm of Greek descent and have the wide shoulders and hips of a wrestler. If I were down to recommended weight I'd have to lose an arm or something.

A data skew
5'6" and 180lbs. I am a bit husky from all the weight training. Started riding spin bike and am sad how out of cardio shape I am. 
Can squat and deadlift just fine. Hope to be down 10 lbs before long. Best weight for me is about 165 lbs.

I was the same about 2yrs ago. After an increase in work hours and losing about 30lbs (159) I was surprised to see how much muscle stayed with me. Hillclimbs nicely improved.

I'm 59, 5'11" and currently weigh 206, down from 236 in June when I decided to get my life back in control and resume cycling. I want to lose another 15 by end of 2016.
