    I'm 5'10 so I can gain weight without it being noticed right away, so people never think I weigh as much as i do. Some BMI calculators have me as overweight, though I have a healthy body fat percentage. While I do want to lose I know that you can't take the BMI too seriously.

    BMI is rubbish. It needs to be put down.

    Here! I do, I do!

    I have a very evenly distributed weight, so I look quite a lot less than I am.

    People always think I weigh less than I do, too. I'm maintaining at 130 now (5'4"), but most people think I weigh between 115 - 120, tops. It's disconcerting to me because I don't perceive myself as looking that thin. And, I really get taken unawares by the "you don't need to lose anymore" and "somebody tell her to eat something" comments.
