I would agree. At 6'6" and 265 lbs, I have to think if I went to 215 it would make more than a year's difference in my longevity. I'd be back to my rugby weight then, and that would require some serious exercise I am not doing right now. If that's the case, then why bother if I am only going to get one more year out of it?
