Hear one site to measure if interested? You don’t have to post your readings. But if interested if considered healthy or not by weight and height.

Adult BMI Categories | BMI | CDC

Scroll down click on adult BMI calculator

Here adult weight charts

Ideal Weight Chart | Staying Well

Accord to this chart I just in standard for good health? If I use European standards I’m 25 pounds over weight. Seems like everyone has opinion when comes to weight ve height vs health?
5’ 10” 204 so I am overweight. Would be more comfortable at 190 to 195, which is still overweight by the CDC standards. However, those standards apply to anyone over age 20. When I was that age I weighed 165. I would be emaciated at that age now. Old folks need to carry some extra weight because if we do become ill, or injured, we likely will loose more weight during a lengthy recovery.
