let me just say this...total bollocks is what this is. I freakin' hate the BMI measurement, and for the love of god stop using it!!!
i'm 44, 5'10, 178....BMI is 26, i'm overweight...really?.... Body Fat % is the only thing that counts. To be honest, you're better off with no scale at all, just a simple tape measure.
*rant over*..0 -
*rocks in the corner* Well that was certainly depressing.
My country was Tonga and I am the fattest female in my age range in the world.
*munches on a damn carrot stick* :sad:0 -
Mine came up quite rosy I'm apparently in the lower 10 % of my country and getting more 3rd world in my weight... my mate who is pretty much the same, I'd argue a lot fitter than me came up a fatty.... The difference I'm and inch or two talller
All this kind of rubbish serves to prove is you can prove whatever you want
% body fat ... I would be interested
Remember
Matt Damon - BMI 26
Brad Pitt - BMI 28
George Clooney - BMI 29
... and that doesn't mean YOU aren't fat
Seriously, if your BMI is over 25 you are either (1) overweight from excess fat or (2) "overweight" from excess muscle. If you happen to be part of the minority of people with an overweight BMI but low body fat %, you know damn well you are because you put a lot of work into getting that extra muscle. The index works pretty well for average people with average muscle mass and average amounts of BF%. It isn't nearly as flawed as people like to believe to make themselves feel better on this site. Those three actors put a lot of time, effort, and money into adding muscle mass to get their physique.0 -

It absolutely is because a) how does this study differentiate between high fat BMI and muscle BMI.
The point that people keep spouting isn't 'I have a high BMI and look how hot I am therefore it is rubbish' It is the number of fat people who claim there BMI is high largely because they are muscled , when in reality they are fat and have never lifted a weight in their life.
BMI comes up quite rosy for me -- it doesn't mean that stops me from seeing its TOTAL lack of worth and indeed the dangers of assumptions made from it
(I accept this list is just a bit of fun and maybe I'm taking it to seriously - but I hope people don't think they are gaining any valuable information from it)0 -
