Calculate and post your BMI

19, and yeah, this is a poor indicator. that said, i am a bit taller than 5'8", and used to have a BMI of around 33 (at the beginning of high school). i'm a short, relatively small-boned guy, and those pounds looked awful on me.

Mine's 20.8 now, and my body fat percentage according to my cheapass inaccurate scale is lower too. woo.

23.4

21.3 (lost a bunch of weight last semester by accident and am now starting to regain some of it equally unintentionally, but would enjoy if my clothes would continue to fit for a few months at a time)

20.9

24.3. Not sure how this happened, but I've lost about 20 lbs. within the last two years and am now "normal weight."

(its better to be slightly overweight than anorexically thin)

That's pretty much a given.

22.6. Used to be like 19. Whatever. Still not enough muscle and bone.

how do you get more bone...?

that little bump in the graph at 25 is bothering me...

how do you get more bone...

Lady if you have to ask...

22.0 (shrugs)

haha cheap shot trayce

LOL i know, i know ;D

I spent year between 18 and 21, so now I'm 27 I feel a little depressed. I'm not at all fat, I've just gotten a weird drinker's gut I think, heh :/ Plus being short seems to really skew these things. My ex is a 16.

(he 6 ft 4 and abt 65kg)

yeah when you are short a few pounds/kilos makes a really noticeable difference. alcohol is a fun vice though!

(ps when i say "you" i mean it sympathetically because i am also short, not "haha too bad for YOU PEOPLE")

6'4" 194lbs BMI 23.6

how do you get more bone...?

At 46 I'm thinking about warding off bone loss. Osteoporosis, don't you know.

28.1

24.7
Need to get rid of belly though, too much beer and food.

look at that blubber fly. muscle mass plays havoc with bmi accuracy.

i'm about 19 too, none of that pesky muscle to bother me. i'm sure i was perfectly healthy when i was around the 18 mark, though. but i guess that diet of chocolate and crisps w/ dip has done wonders for me.

now 20.8. Most of that 1.8 in the belly. :'(

25. Used to be 20. Like six months ago. I feel fat.

18.9

i'm six foot 3 and somewhat shy of 11 stone.

about a year and a half ago was 22.7. Lost about 2 stone. Fat, there wasn't and isn't much muscle on me.

Not sure how this happened, but I've lost about 20 lbs. within the last two years and am now "normal weight."

22.6 now.

18.7

18.7 too

long streak of piss....

heh...my dad says "tall drink of water", but I like "long streak of piss" better"...

man if were 18.7 i'd weigh < 120lb which is just bananas.

currently riding at ~23 but i'm pretty sure my legs are throwing the estimate way off

22.6. Down from 24.3 a few months ago. Thanks running, you're finally helping.

Move over BMI, there's a new sheriff in town:

BMI or Body Mass Index, a ratio of weight to height, has long been considered one of the best measures for assessing overall health risk.Getting your BMI into a healthy range used to be considered a top health priority. However, recent research shows that there is a new
sheriff in town: your waist-to-height ratio (WHtR). Studies now indicate
that WHtR is a much better measure than BMI for assessing obesity and cardiovascular risk.

GRRRRR HULK SMASH

(ss i know you're not saying this, but goddamn am i tired of hearing it)

This is great because I go from "Overweight" on the BMI scale to "Extremely Slim" on the WHtR scale.

No longer am I penalized for being athletic.

exactly!

BMI applied to individuals is just grrrrr arrrgh.

i am only healthy.

now shasty nobody was actually penalizing you. did nutrition nazis take away dessert or something?
