Your friends sound very ignorant.

I checked your profile to confirm your age...you're about 6 years older than I expected.

Why are you wasting time on stupid people?

And your comment sounds very ignorant? Its not so much that there ignorant nor are rude. But more so that thats what theyve been taught is the perfect weight. 2 of my friends are food and nutrition majors and the other is a kinesiology major. So no there not ignorant, there well educated and just alittle confused.

If they're food, nutrition, kinesiology majors, and think that ONE WEIGHT is the proper weight for ALL BODY TYPES... where did they go to school? I mean this in all seriousness, because it's sort of a huge deal that anyone in the health industry thinks that 160 lbs is too much for someone who is 6 foot. You may not think this is ignorant, but what if they told a client this? Think about how devastating that would be to a person's health, being told that they need to be thinner than they need to be. Kidney failure, eating disorders, physiological issues, hair falling out... these are all serious side effects of trying to lose too much weight.

Ignorant means "lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about something in particular", and it sounds like your friends are very ignorant when it comes to a person's weight.

What should you tell them? That there's not one specific, magical weight that fits every body type. Physical and metabolically, it's a ridiculous notion. Since they're all health majors though... that's something that you shouldn't have to tell them. That's something they should already KNOW.

Perfect solution: wait 3 months and tell them you hit 120. They wont know the difference.
