There seems to be as many opinions and misinformation floating around about personal weight that I thought we might share and perhaps open our minds a bit. Here are the questions that I feel will provide useful info:
Age
Sex
Height
Present weight range (many people vary 3-4 lbs over a day)
Ideal weight range for optimum health (your opinion)
Ideal weight range for optimum swimming performance
What steps are you taking, or will you be taking, to lose or
gain the weight difference between present & optimum.

Reading the above entries suggests I am not as "huge" as I think I am. Hmmm.
I eat often and regularly, drink protein drinks, recovery stuff, and I lift weights (helped me gain 5 pounds). I don't drink much alcohol or eat fast or sugary foods.
