Then again, my BMI says i'd have to weigh 185 pounds to be in the high-end of the normal bracket. I don't think I could lose 50 pounds and still be healthy.

How tall are you? 185 for a guy that's 6'1" or so is pretty normal.

You might be fine. I'm 6'3, 257, and 3 doctors told me 235 would be a good number to hit... which would put me at a BMI of 29.4, which is the high end of "overweight", right next to "obesity".

Talk to your doctor. Get some tests (body fat % etc.) to see where your body is at, and then the two of you can determine a good weight.

I'd eventually like to be buried in a piano case.

I'm 6'1. And I don't think I have 50 pounds I could drop.
