130/80 is tuff mark for old folks

Hardest normal is men’s average weight at height

I’m six five and to be fit I’m supposed to be 180

45 pounds less than now

Six five and 180 is Galbraith skinny

The women’s norms were made more forgiving after bots came to power

I’m six three or four barefoot and weigh 240. I have been diagnosed as type two diabetic for over eleven years now. According to the weight charts I am over fifty pounds too heavy but people constantly tell me how amazing I look for a 73 year old man. I am in better shape than most of the twenty year olds around here, I can push a large SUV by myself on level ground. I am in the gym lifting weights three times a week. I don’t take prescription meds even though they want to put me on blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes medications. I think I will tell the next doctor who wants to put me on meds to try to walk at my side for one mile and if the doctor can’t keep up then I don’t want to hear it. I don’t figure on living forever, I’m 73 and feel like 43, I’ll take my chances without all their prescription “help”.
