Depends on what you think is overweight. Losing weight is not a matter of “brains” - anyone can figure it out.

But people ought to bear in mind that proper weights vary. If you are 6’, 160 is a good weight, but you could weigh 190-200 if you are somewhat muscular. A healthy weight depends on frame, composition of body mass etc.

“If you are 6’, 160 is a good weight”

Are you crazy? When I was in my early 20s I managed to keep my weight between 175 and 180 pounds and I looked like a freakin heroin addict. People kept asking me if I was sick.(I AM six feet tall BTW)

There is no way on God’s green earth I could, at nearly 50 years of age, weigh 160 pounds. Where do you people come up with this stuff?

I weigh 260. I look and feel perfectly fine at 220. (other than feeling as though I am starving all the time at that weight). As far as I am concerned I sure could stand to lose 40 Lbs. But a hundred? That is INSANE.
