    BMI is BS lol. According to my ideal healthy bmi I should weigh about 140lbs.......

    If I weighed that much I would be ALL BONES.

    I have a larger frame, as do all the women on both sides of my family so there is no way in hell I would want to weigh that much. I would look very sickly.

    I've got about an inch space in the index finger test... AND I HAVE LONG FINGERS!! lol I know that I'm very large boned, I wear a size 12 shoe, I'm only 5'7". My lean muscle mass is about 132lbs.. BMI suggests I should be something like 140. It's absurd for me. I've created my own goals based on MY OWN BODY and reaching a healthy body fat percentage. About 197 would give me 32% body fat which is on the high range of healthy. When I get there I can reevaluate my goals.

    Ah yes, large frames, gotta love em!
    I have a large frame, 5' 3.5, 136 pounds.

    I don't even have to breath in and you can see my ribcage.

    I pretty much ignore mfp and use it as a guideline.

    If I feel good, and look good for myself, I really don't care what weight I am..
    As long as I'm happy :)
