If anyone has any they would be willing to share I would love to see what you looked like at the high end of your BMI. I've never been small so I don't know a weight I would be happy at. I'm 5'5" so any women of similar height would really be appreciated as well!
Thanks guys!
Thanks guys!

I am 5'2 and currently somewhere between 150-152 I think. I am always considered overweight with my BMI. It's a terrible tool to use - body fat % is much better.0

If it helps you at all I'm considered obese by my bmi.0

I should have clarified more, I don't lift or do anything strength training aside from body weight exercises. I do understand it can vary greatly person to person and that muscular people will be "overweight" by bmi.0

It has nothing to do with lifting; lifting doesn't make me weigh more. Height is the issue.0 -

Don't have a picture handy, but at my highest weight I was 5'5.5" and 150 lbs. That's right on the edge of being overweight, but I was technically still "normal." The issue was that my body fat % put me well into the "obese" category. I looked awful and felt extremely uncomfortable in my skin. A lot of women my height wouldn't have that issue at that weight because of more muscle mass and a different fat distribution. BMI really is not a good indicator of what you'll look like/if you're healthy at a certain weight, especially at the extreme ends.
ETA that if you really want to see a lot of photos, figure out the weight and height for the BMI you're interested in and search mybodygallery.com.0 -
My current BMI is 33. My avatar pic was taken yesterday. I am 5' 4".0

<---- BMI says I am overweight, halfway to obese. 5'3 and 150lbs, size 4/6US or 8/10UK. My goal weight is 140, which is still overweight according to BMI.
To be within the "healthy" BMI range I'd have to loss a lot of muscle. No thanks!0 -
BMI is the worst way to determine health, BFP is way more important!0

My before (isn't my highest weight) and after is my profile pic. But.. even in that "after" photo I was still considered overweight since I'm short. Bummer. But now I'm in the normal category as of today, which has taken forever to get to. I heard BMI isn't the best thing to look to, since it doesn't count in a lot of factors but.. to each their own0

:noway: Best looking case of obesity I've ever seen. (Shame on me for encouraging you to remain obese......:blushing: )0 -
I am 5'5" and started with a BMI of 62.4 at 375lbs. Scary :noway: I am now down to 210lbs and a BMI of 34.9. My goal is 145lbs which puts me at a BMI of 24.1 which is just barely under the high end of normal. I have never been skinny and my doctor said anywhere between 145 and 160 would be a reasonable healthy weight for me.
This picture is a few months old now, but you get the general idea
