My was at my chiropractor for the first time and he said (can't remember context) "... well you don't look very overweight at all blah blah blah..."

And when I was at the Wedding expo on the weekend and talking to a dressmaker about fatbits etc, she just looked at me and made a puffed out exasperated "you aren't fat!" noise.

Sounds silly as ****, but really made me happy for about 5mins. Cos all I see, is bluuuuuuuuuuurggh! And according to BMI (**** you!) I am just on obsese. And chiropractor (also nutritionist) says I'm barely overweight :love:

    To be honest the BMI guide is exactly that just a guide, for me being my age and my height ( 6ft approx at 190 lbs) im at a 25.77% and i am technically .77 % to being considered borderline normal/overweight. For the most part it is very hard to reach the standards given out by the BMI, since they are unrealistic and i have had doctors tell me that personally. with every 5 pounds you lose .77 % body fat if i remember correctly so to be underweight and at 6ft at the age of 16 id have to be 120lbs. and that's with having 18.5%
