Is my husband trying to lose too much weight? - Weight Loss Message Board

Hi everyone

My husband and I just joined weight watchers together. I was just wondering something.

He is 6'2 and currently weighs about 260. He wants to get down to 195! To me it seems like he will be very skinny at that height and weight.

Does anyone know if he will be ok at 195 being 6'2"?

195 is just fine for someone his height. I'm 6'1", and 184 is the max weight that I should be.

My husband is 6' even, and his doctor said he should get below 175. Looks like there is a pattern here. Congratulations on getting him to join WW with you. Your weightloss may actually be a bit of fun since you're doing it together.

Annee Thanks also!

It helps to know that this weight is not unreasonable. I was so worried. I think he is such a good looking man now and I didn't want him to get so skinny (LOL) that there wouldn't be anything there to hug!!! LOL

I feel great that he joined with me. It is so much easier when I cook, he eats what I eat now! I lost 5lbs my first week!
