Calculate and post your BMI

Seem to have misplaced our scales but last time I checked I was under ten stone, which would put me at under 19. May have put on a few pounds since then though.

20.6

20.7

up from 19.2 two months ago!

hmmm...maybe living in the south and working in state offices has distorted my perception.

Nah, internet people are all either pencil-necked geeks or fatties.

MOAR LIEK PRINCE MARKIE DEE AMIRITE LOL?

in order to have a BMI in the "normal" range i would have to weigh 190 lbs. or less which means i would look like i just came from Dachau

Yeah, BMI is weird. Right now I'm about 10 pounds over the weight at which I look best. If I were to lose enough weight to get to the middle of the "normal" range, I'd look disgustingly skinny. Maybe it's because I'm tall?

i always imagined ethan as super skinny.

19.8

BARBECUE?

TAXES

GUYS BMI DOESNT TELL YOU ANYTHING, IT IS A RED HERRING

DEATH

21.8

dont be imagining my body, dog

mmm...herring.

BARBECUE?!

ha

according to this even at the skinniest ive ever been in my adult life i was still just the middle of normal weight at 21.0 wtf

OKay, so I get that it tells people they're fat when they're not. But does it therefore also tell people they're healthy when they're really too thin?

BMI tells me I am skinny so I like it and it is useful to me.

Note: I do not actually look like I have a sub 20
BMI.

how the fuck is dude who is 6 ft tall and 150 lbs normal looking? this bmi shit is some bullshit

21.2

ayo shaddup ya face chunky

I know I'm mr preternaturally skinny but "190lbs or less" is in no way an absurdly low weight.

hmmmm, bbq...

ILX needs to get on the revenge diet.

it doesn't take into account your frame, your gender, how much muscle or fat you have, etc it is amazing that it is accepted as a useful number.

its pretty crazy that it doesnt ask your sex... girls have big ol titties for example that makes how much they weigh be different

i think i only thought this b/c you make fattey (chaki) jokes.

the owner of that skeleton is clearly a thick bastard just look at the circumference of his watch

22.4

BMI is a medical metric shorthand that correlates fairly well with a few things, it's not supposed to be about your build or your fucking image of yourself, that's like saying "my baby's apgar score was an 8 and not a 10, they're not taking into account blah blah blah!!"

my mom thinks i'm a perfect 10

I heard your mom WAS a perfect 10

how the fuck is dude who is 6 ft tall and 150 lbs normal looking?

I'm 6 foot and I'm currently 165 lbs, but my personal 'best weight' for my body is about 152 lbs. This is based on how I feel, not how I look. But I still have a visible fat roll at my waist even down to about 157 lbs.

As for "normal looking", I look ok to me. I am supposed to be skinny.

i'm pretty sure you heard wrong! xp

19.9 <- this has got to be wrong - i am stupid thin!

oh, i guess this explains it: It may overestimate body fat in athletes and others who have a muscular build.

" "

It may overestimate body fat in athletes and others who have a muscular build.

was gonna say...
I came in at 22.7 (5'9", 154lbs.) but back when I was eating better, going to the gym etc, I was up around 158 lbs, with considerably less belly fat.

i am just naturally ripped.

24.9...whoa, salad tonight!

Whoo, downgraded to merely overweight.

i was downgraded from "normal" to "extremely slim" ?

still hovering around the 30.1 range on BMI, bang on 50 on WtHR, wouldn't mind a little improvement on both tbh but WIP

just had my body fat measured. either they're wrong or my brain is made of flab.

22.0 (shrugs) ― Aimless, Tuesday, February 23, 2010

presently 22.5

23.8

Thats the last time I weighed myself, I think I may be less heavy now but probably not much.

It's OK, anyway

24.5 = normal (just)

since xmas i now fast walk 4km a day (40 mins), and that has definitely helped me get back down to my usual 75kg as i had put on a couple of red wine enhanced kilos over lockdown.
but seems like the daily walk has helped me find the balance between enjoying wine and exercise.

I think BMI is not considered pretty meaningless

er NOW considered

18.4. I've somehow lost wait during the pandemic.

and the ability to spell

BMI is such an inaccurate tool it can't be used for any purpose that requires real data.

Reminds me of this:
A man in his 30s with no underlying health conditions was offered a Covid vaccine after an NHS error mistakenly listed him as just 6.2cm in height.

Liam Thorp was told he qualified for the jab because his measurements gave him a body mass index of 28,000.

25.8. Technically overweight. Can't escape my family legacy of thicc thighs.
