    I like things like this because I'm always curious what it will say. I never pay attention to it though. When I was at their lowest suggested weight most people still though I was overweight by at least 20 lbs. :tongue:

    This thing is nuts--even more harsh than the BMI chart. I think all of these are pretty lame b/c they don't take into account fat vs. lean muscle mass. I'm 5'0" and medium frame--and this chart says 106 was healthy. My lowest weight ever was 108 and I looked sickly, I was a 00 and did not look good at all!

    Wrist method would never work for me. I gain fat around my wrist when I get fat. Also, some people have thick wrists and slender hips, or they have particularly short/ long fingers which would skew the results...
