Is there a sticky or forum post that is recommended for weights. I always seem to be overweighted or underweighted. My scuba buds say I look like I'm riding a bike sometimes (Too many weights).

Your ability to trim out underwater has nothing to do with being overweighted.
How to do a proper buoyancy test should be covered in your OW training (Buoyancy Check At Surface).
Weighting calculators as the one posted above is VERY rough estimates, for giggles I tried it out, and it gave me 15kg (34lbs) which is ridiculous.
Nevermind - I just did the same with a 3 mill suit and it gave me 17lbs... I dove with 8 lbs in Fl a month ago... oops...
