xp - great scott!

28.2 - was under 25 before I quit smoking :(

Can't imagine getting down into the 150-160 range and still looking healthy.

17.75, give or take .35 based on how I've much I've starved myself in the last week.

Straight dope on BMI:

"(BMI) is both a convenient and reliable indicator of obesity."
...
Yes, it's great for estimating the fitness of groups of people, but used to assess any one individual it can sometimes produce an iffy answer. Since it doesn't differentiate between fat weight and muscle weight, and since muscle is denser than fat, people who are especially muscular tend to score as fatter than they really are. (Most NBA superstars — e.g., LeBron James, listed at six-eight and 240 — are classed as at least mildly overweight.) BMI also glosses over the issue of fat distribution — excess weight carried around the waist is more unhealthy than extra inches on the hips.

i should put an andwhat-disapproved collidge picture of myself somewhere prominent as motivation

25.1 shiiiiit, and i had a haircut earlier

it was the lol creme

19. It was 17 until a couple of years ago.

18.9. That, for me, is rather high.

you discovered a meal between breakfast and brunch (xp)

That applies to me too, Steve: it's called Leftover Vietnamese Food.

have you ever ordered but then not eaten any of it until the next morning? it's an ambition of mine

That Ruth Fowler article is awful but she'll go away if her soon to be published book bombs. Give it time.

Steve: This is easy to do if you live on your own and need to order a minimum value of delivered food. I always get a 'dinner box' of lemongrass prawns on rice noodles and immediately put it into the fridge for the next day's lunch. The breakfast leftovers I am really talking about are things like salt and chilli spare ribs, chicken satay and crispy duck with pancakes.

I'm going to have to stop with the over-ordering and totally throw away my microwave.

23.4. My peak of fattitude was 25.1 when I was 23. I then drastically lost weight down to 17.8 in my mid-twenties before settling around 23-24 since. Didn't change my diet at all!

mine is like 30

I scored 23.3 with a rough guess at my weight (I'm also unsure of my exact height, I may be 1 inch taller - I don't weigh or measure myself for I dislike thinking of my own corporeality). I am definitely fatter than a 23.3, mind you: I should be scoring at least slightly in the 'overweight' section rather than the 'normal' one.

When I was 23 I was in a much worse shape than when I've been close to that recently - it was all beer gut, whereas now I'm just a bit bigger overall. I'm tall though so it's easier to get away with it.

or a 100

24, thank god for being really tall because I'm way out of shape and beefing up.

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

Dead set, mine's 24.0 and my body fat is somewhere below 10%

20.9

20.1

26.1

but i had to roughly guess my weight, and i'm not even completely sure of my height.

At 5'10", I'd have to be 128 lbs to be underweight... which actually seems fair to me, slightly high even. The limit on the other end of the 'normal' spectrum might be less fair, yes.

xpost

24.1

23.7

17.6

I am a skinny motherfucker.

22.9 right now...I AM TALL WOMANG

23, i could lose about 10 lbs.

I think mine is around 24, though I haven't weighed myself for ages. It used to be around 20 when I was in my early twenties, but I've gained some weight after that. Which is okay, because I don't think the super-skinny indie look really fits me.

23.5. Peaked at 26 fourteen years ago. Never again.

Also in the 27 range. Hmph.

28.9

19

18

who wants a kookie

30.6.

Again, bmi is bullshit. The only way I could go back to that level is to return to my 17 year old self, before the half-assed weighttraining and when I was still running cross country my senior year.

BFI is what you should be concerned about.

i like this answer: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080330164202AAgAgME

well the *best* way to truly gauge this sort of thing is to slice yourself in half and count the fat rings.

about 24.74

(woo!)

16.7, which is actually up from a year ago when it would have been 15.3

I am, how you say, less than healthy.

Y'all are way too skinny. At least me and my fat will float when the sea levels rise

19.5
I feel kind of out of shape from winter

lol @ humungous fatteys bitching about fat gauge telling them they're fat!!!!!

FAT FAT HUGE FAT PEOPLE YOU EAT TOO MUCH LOL

Somebody turn on a fan...

I'm not fat, I'm PHAT.

(which is like Korpulent)
