Where are you on the BMI chart?

Tyger · August 16, 2016, 12:52:01 AM

Bmi is bullshit. Muscular people comes up as overweight/obese and "skinny fat" people come up as normal weight

Naru · August 16, 2016, 12:52:33 AM

normal, apparently

Sαndtrap · August 16, 2016, 12:55:47 AM

Huh. Learn something new every day. Apparently people over six feet and beyond are incapable of being obese. Must explain why no basketball player is fat.

I'm sure there's other charts that go further.

That begs the question. What would a tremendously tall morbidly obese person look like?

where on paper you have a healthy body weight but that weight is actually fat cells and not the amount of muscle a normal human should have

BMI is retarded.

I'm 5'8" 175lbs, and with my shoulder width and the sheer amount of jacked that my legs are its unfair to say that a BMI of 27 is overweight.

It's also stupid to say that someone with a lanky frame is underweight just because they're not jacked.

Beyond all that, it doesn't account for body fat ratio.

My dad has a BMI of 28, only one point higher, and he's an inch taller, but because of BF% and his frame he's actually very unhealthy.

I'm in between 21 and 22, I weigh around 125pounds.

BaconShelf · August 16, 2016, 06:13:03 AM

Last time I checked (two years ago) was a 26.

And I've lost a lot of weight since then.

No. I used to be fairly erm.... large as a kid. More recently I've started doing a lotmore walking (~3 mile walk home from college) and I've been trying to cut down on eating as much ie actually stopping eating when I'm full. I don't eat much junk food anyway so it's not bothered me.

A bunch of the clothes I used to wear comfortably are now kinda baggy on me which is a good sign. Kinda at a point now where the minimal exercise I do is balanced by what I eat so I don't gain or lose anything.

I've been thinking about trying to do some proper exercise though. Like, going for runs. I've been considering joining the Army if I don't get into uni (It's something I've always been interestedin but never properly considered) so I reckon I'd be able to meet the standards if I actually bothered to put in the effort.

Wow that was long winded.

Being big isn't about your size, though. It's about the loyalty of your hired guns. And mine are far more loyal than yours.

What's the point of your hired guns if you don't have a good skill in plane crashing?
