Question 1

what is my ideal weight?

Accepted Answer

Healthy weight range: At one's routine check-up, he can ask about his "ideal" weight, which usually means his "healthy weight range".  The best weight for a person varies, depending on amount of muscle, body build, any medical problems, etc...  For a guy, a quick estimate is 106 pounds for the first 5 feet of height, plus 6 pounds for each additional inch. So, for a 68" person, an estimate can be 106+48 = 154 pounds.

Question 2

what is an ideal weight for a goal?

Accepted Answer

NOT a goal: Please forgive me -- the goal is to enjoy life, be healthy and do the things you enjoy, not to pursue a number. And in fact, your weight will set itself when you are doing the things that are most enjoyable and healthy. Your "ideal weight" is whatever looks & feels right to you while you can keep up with peers at fitness activities. All the rest is sub-science. Enjoy your life & be wise.
