    Some lines have more than one state. There are 50 states and the District of Columbia, even though there are only 40 some lines.

    BMI is a useless calculation. It is over 100 years old and just isn't a practical way of measuring. The best way is BF %'s

    Given example of why it is useless. I was 200-205 in the Army with a BF of 15-17% If you use my height of 5'7" and calculate my BMI it would put me in the obesity range.

    Just saying :smile: Please don't hurt me :bigsmile:

    And I agree.

    Both are 100% important; BMI even more so as it can more or less detect your chances of getting a fever i.e

    If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would add 107,607,721 tonnes to the total weight of the world's population.

    Calm down BBC! :P

    I did that BBC site ages ago when I first started losing weight. The progress I've made from where I started to where I am now never fails to make me happy.

    On the BMI list, I wonder why CT is so far removed from the rest of the surrounding states (NY, RI, MA). Curious.
