Okay, just randomly popped into the thread (clearing the "new" marker from it basically) and this caught my eye. Which prompts a question:
Maybe I'm just really influenced by meeting you many moons ago (and have no clue what you weighed then) and the few assorted pics that have been posted through the years but that 195 just sounds "light" for you. Not the weight vs past weights so much but rather it just sounds a bit light for I'd consider your general frame/body type.
My questions are based on that general idea.
1) Are you still at a weight where you're comfortable with your strength? And by that I don't mean what you lift, I'm talking more about how you generally feel. (During a couple of weight losses over the years, I clearly recall feeling like I ended up "too light" at times. And the difference was pretty slight, I generally felt better overall in the upper 160s than in the lower 160s or less)
2) What does the ol' traditional height / weight chart say you're supposed to be for weight? And while those have been replaced by more sophisticated indexes I gather, I'm wondering if you've kinda set any sort of floor for "that would just be too light"?
Congrats on the progress, you definitely seem to be going gangbusters.
