   • Editorial Staff

     Hi Warren

     We mention ‘Slim’ to someone who is normal weight, ‘Average’ to those ones who are a little overweight, and ‘Large’ are those who are obese/highly overweight.

     • Warren

       Ah. When I think of slim I think of skinny

     • Warren

       Wouldn’t someone that height and that weight be considered average? Probably when he was younger he was slim. I’d say maybe 160-170 pounds when he was a younger man. And as he got to be a bit older he got a bit heavier. And as he got even older he got even heavier.

     • Warren

       He wasn’t skinny and underweight.

8. Warren

   His build was average not slim. If he was slim he would be 190.5 cm and about 65 kg
