@ CZ & @28inIrvine:
Mr. SoCal is 5'10". Having a desk job and being allergic to exercise, he has very little muscle tone. (Picture your typical Irvine software engineer.) He still has a little tummy and he's always had a full face but his arms and legs seem a lot thinner now. He also has a small frame i.e. narrow shoulders. Man, it's a good thing he doesn't visit this site.
I guess I'm happy for him because he feels better. But now he tells me he plans to stay this way which was kind of a surprise. And although he's not trying to lose anymore, it's just melting off due to keeping track so he doesn't overeat but not really "trying" to lose. So, he'll probably get even thinner. :-\ I just suggested to him if he's going to keep his weight down maybe he wants to bulk up just a little bit with some muscle. He's really not interested in pumping iron at all. Mmmkay.

For his height, 180 would be too low..don't you think so?
Yeah, I thought 220 was too low on him! I can't help it, I just prefer "husky". He's never really been what I'd call a "husky" guy but he's been a little bigger. If he wanted to be more muscular, that's fine, too. But he doesn't. So I'll learn to get used to it. He's still the same person on the inside where it really matters. I find bigger more attractive but I'll take him huge, tiny, rich, broke, 1-armed, or with purple polka dots.
