Target weight
An ideal BMI for an adult male is someplace in the range of about 20.7-28.4.
Using the upper end of that range you can estimate a target weight (including a factor for conversion between feet/pounds and metric measurements) as
W = .0404 * H2
where H is your height in inches.
For me, at 68 inches, that gives a target weight of about 186 pounds.
Ideally I think I should probably weigh in less than that, but it provides a good target at the upper range of acceptable weight for me.
