No. Was 140 the average weight for males and females combined? If so, that seems really low; I don’t know many males who weigh under or even around 140, either because of fat or muscle. ---

Who wants to see a skeleton? I am way too tall for 140 pounds. Unfortunately, I am way too short for my current weight. ---

Yes, but only by a little. If you’re seeing if it is the average shouldn’t you be asking by how much too? ---
