    So I'm 16 years old and weighed about 230 pounds. I've now dropped down to 205 through exercising and being very careful about how much I eat.
    I've been doing this 1) So I don't get Type 2 diabetes, because it runs in my family
    And 2) This is really the most why I've decided to lose weight: to make myself more attractive.
    My original goal was to get down to 180 pounds. I want to get below 200 by early August and just lose more weight throughout the year till I hit that number.
    Is that a good goal weight for someone my age? I'm 6 feet, btw..
    I want to look good but also be healthy.

    230 lb (104kg) I wouldn't have said was an unhealthy weight for a 6' fella.
    I guess it depends on your build though.
    205 lb (93kg) give or take 5 lb would be a good weight if you're a medium to solid build.
    If you're naturally a slim build, i wouldn't try to get any less than 180 lb (81kg).

    Just my opinion.

    Peace
