My husband would be skeletal even at the top of the range for his height. I think the tape measure, the mirror, and how I feel are much more important than any weight chart. I'm tempted to throw out the scale at this point. I've lost several inches off my waist plus some off my hips and thighs. I feel better; my clothes fit better; people ar noticing the "weight loss." In reality, the weight hasn't changed at all.</span>
