I took all the numbers entered so far, remove the two lowest and highest responses, to make sure we eliminated any outliers.
Removed?! Hey, I'm a perfectly good data point... not my fault that I fell off the end of the bell curve and crashed

Pretty good CPR

Just think how much weight we gained over that year. And, is the OP going to average as suggested in the title?

Age 56. Present height about 5'9.5" (I've shrunk as I've gotten older). Weight typically fluctuates between 155 and 165 pounds, depending on time of year and quantity of beer consumed.
