    Have you considered that he may have gotten an erroneous reading? Something as simple as a scrap of paper under the edge of a scale can through off the reading. But seriously, does he look different now because you know/think he weighs 150??

    He was more built when we first met. I remember I couldn't stop grabbing his biceps (I'm a sucker for strong arms).
    He doesn't seems unhealthy at all. I'm not worried by the number, just surprised.

    He is within the normal range. Check it out here.

    Everyone's body is different, and some, like my husband, are tall and thin. How I wish I were!

    my hubby is 6 ft and 175 and Skinny!!! they used to call him skinny skates... haha! so maybe your man just has no idea how to use a scale? LOL! idk... you know sometimes in my bathroom if I just move the scale over a half foot, I weigh 10 lbs less... Have him go to a doctor or to the gym and weigh in there and see what that scale says... if he doesn't seem skinny to you, and he builds, then obviously that scale must be off or something!

    That is TINY! If he is big and strong, I would think that he would weigh significantly more....like in the 180's. Are you sure that the scale was working properly? I would double check and if it is working right, i agree, make him a sandwich or two! lol

    My boy is 6'4 and 165lbs. He is all lean muscle, not an ounce of fat on him, but he is very very strong, fit and not at all scrawny. I think some of you need to remember that everyone is different.

    Maybe you should lose weight?

    Wow... RUDE

    And yes, 150 lbs for a man that's 6 feet tall is a little thin!

    Apparently, you didn't real ALL the other posts... unless, dwelling on your partners weight is only ok for women.

    He's 6ft and 150?

    Please go make him a sandwich.


    So I'm right to find this surprising?

    Yes.

    That's skinny honestly. He can't be more than 8% bf at best.

    put extra meat and cheese on that sandwich. and butter.

    I'm 5'11" and currently weigh 188 or so. I am trying to get down to 170 and I would feel pretty thin at that weight. I graduated high school at 165 so I haven't been 150 in a long long time. If he is healthy and 150, good for him.

    My husband is 5'8" and 200lbs. He is very muscly, used to play rugby and now he's an engineer. He looks like a body builder, but he hasnt lifted a dumbell in his life :) So I would say at 6' and 150lbs thats very skinny.

    If he looks healthy, then he probably is healthy, but I'm thinking the might have weighed himself wrong. Scales have to be on a flat, even surface to weigh correctly. if he weighed himself on a cushy bath mat, it's going to give him a lighter weight since the sensors will be under less pressure on a softer surface. My scale will register 20 pounds light if I use it on top of the bath mat.

    Mine is 5ft 10 & 190lb - he is a tiny little bit overweight but when he was 170 he looked like a rake so I can't even imagine him at 150! Mind u he has a stocky build , people with small builds can get away with being a lot lighter.

    A friend of mine is a cyclist. He races on crazy hard trails every weekend. Point being, he's super fit, and he's 6' tall & 150 lbs. I think it depends on the person & their body fat. I wouldn't judge him or try to change him based on the number on a scale. The scale could be wrong or he could already be healthy, & you don't want to mess that up. I wouldn't compare myself to him. Please don't let his number bother you.

    I bought a scale yesterday so I could weigh myself. I did, all was good, I put it away under the sink.
    My boyfriend then came home and disappeared into the bathroom for a shower. 2 minutes later he called out 'How much is 150lb?'
    I was shocked. He's about 6 foot tall and a builder. In my eyes he's big, strong and sexy. I can't be with a guy that doesn't make me feel small and girlie, which is how I feel next to him. I can't believe he's less than 30lb more than me. Is that a normal weight for a guy? I assumed that with his height and muscle tone he would weigh more.
    I know that weight is just a number and that body fat % is the more important thing, but I was just very surprised..
    my ex boyfriend weighed 3 lbs more than me at my highest weight.. he's 6'3" it made me feel like ****. But my boyfriend now only weighs 10 lbs more than me now, after losing nearly 30 lbs. He's only 5'10" but still

    My boyfriend is 6'5" and about 150lb. He is very lean, but he does have some muscle. He has a 31-32" waist.
    According to his BMI he is at the lower end of healthy.

    He eats so much and struggles to gain any weight at all. It's very rude ;)

    Hope this helps :)

    Different body types. My hubby is 6'4". If he weighed 170 he'd look anorexic. He looks best and healthiest at around 210-220.

    When we got married I weighed 129. I'm 5'6". I wore my sister's wedding dress in the exact same stitching she wore it. She's 1 1/2 inches taller than me and weighed 15 lbs less. But our body types meant that at 5'6 and 129 I was the exact same size as she was at 5'7 1/2 and 114 lbs.

    He's 6ft and 150?

    Please go make him a sandwich.

    This made me giggle. :laugh:


    But for real.... hard to say w/o knowing his habits and body type. Best bet is to see what a doctor has to say!

    That does seem kind of low but every body is different right? My husband weighs 175-180 and is 5'11". He is pretty muscular too.

    My hubby is 6 ft., 155, has horrendous habits - soda, beer, fried food, no exercise - & has excellent medical readings & looks like an athlete. I, on the other hand, run 50 miles a week, workout, eat healthy & still can't get to where I want to be. Not fair :) but...it is what it is & I'm hoping the kids have his genetics & my desire! :)

    My husband is 6' and 150-155. He hates it when I call him skinny and insists on Trim or Fit or Thin but athletic. He just has hardly any body fat and really doesn't exercise much but you can see all his muscles and can build muscle very quickly when he does lift weights. He eats like a horse though, like a 5 meal a day horse and it just doesn't matter for him. Those darn metabolisms, why isn't mine like that?
    Ditto everyone else, everyone's body is different.

    My husband is 5'10 and working witha trainer. He said he wanted to get to 195 and she asked if he had ever been that weight. He has a ton of muscle and she didn't think it was possible for him to weigh 195
