any answers appreciated..
Yeah, I know very well I am not ripped, but I do not appear fat in the mirror..

Use this to calculate your Body Mass Index yourself!
http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/
* Underweight = <18.5
* Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
* Overweight = 25-29.9
* Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
If you're too lazy, I did it for you: 26.0
And I calculated and to fall under the "Normal weight" BMI you'd have to be between 146 lbs and 196 lbs!!
But it's all about you!! Don't worry about #s and all that hoohaa. It's just if YOU are happy with the way you look and feel.
