I know I can for sure get to 250. I was expecting 225 but a few people say that may be too low for my build. I'd be happy at 240ish but when I get a check up with my DR I'll see what he suggests.

With all due respect, that is bullshite. Most people would tell you that for "my build" I could lose 20 lbs...which would still be 30 lbs heavier than my fighting weight in college.

Right now your "build" is fat and that's just what people are used to. There is no such thing as big boned.

Don't listen to other people, there is no way 240 is a healthy weight for a guy that's 6'2 unless he's in the NFL.. and then he's all muscle. Actually 200 is really the sweet spot for someone our height, assuming you put on some muscle from workouts. That's just my opinion, though.

family is predisposed to heart disease

Yep mine too. My father had 2 heart attacks at 40 and 42, 6'0 200 lbs.. my grandpa has had a triple bypass, his dad died from a heart attack, diabetes is pretty rampant through my mom's side of my family, etc etc. The medical reasons weren't what motivated me initially but now I use that to help keep me going. I love when I go to the doctor and my BP is 115/75, and heart rate at rest is 62. I don't like the number on the scale still but that's a life journey.
