I'm 6' 3" (age seems to have robbed me of an inch), and two years ago I was pushing 270lbs. By August 2012 I touched 220 and now I'm 215. I am big boned and long in the body, so BMI is more than usually misleading - I managed to find an insurance company weight assessment scale that says I'm into my ideal weight range, which is nice but ideally I'd like to get own to around 200. I was 190 and thin as a rake when I got married. My very low testosterone has led to considerable muscle loss and strength loss. As for weight training, burning wood as our primary source of winter heat provides good exercise - bringing the logs in through a long an tortuous route in winter, and shifting and stacking them in summer. Even so, I've been losing strength for the last 15 years.
I was never very hairy, but visible hair on my body, arms and legs has almost disappeared to the point at which I pluck individual hairs when they become visible, except for under arms and pubic area, where there is much less than there used to be. My beard is much less vigorous and less visible than it used to be and even my eyebrows are much less visible than they used to be. This may be partly a loss of pigment (aka greying) although my grey eyes seem to be bluer than they used to be.
