Hanoo, good job buddy. I'm sure you're already reaping the benefits of losing all that weight. Physically and mentally

I read that you lost some weight by switching to diet sodas instead of regular ones. If you take out the sodas completely, and switch to water ( i know, it's hard ) but you'll get to your goal quicker ( not sure if you've already done this ) The closer you get to your goal weight, the harder it is to lose it because there's not a lot of fat to lose anymore.

Skyward: I think the standards are a bit under weight but it also depends on the muscle mass of the person. I'm 6'1 and used to be 235 (very overweight for myself). After losing 50 pounds and at 185 ( 6% body fat ) I looked 'skinny'. At 195 (6% body fat ) I looked proportionate. I felt comfortable all the way up to 200 and anything above will start to slow me down in sports ( soccer/basketball/mma ). My weight goes up and down rather quickly, so I range anywhere from 190-210. I think it will vary from person to person and what they do and how they feel about it.
