I scored low end of healthy. I can have a cake now....

BMI is a flawed measurement and takes no account of muscle weight.

 

[StonehamPark]

BMI of 24.3

Although BMI can be a totally inaccurate way to measure healthiness, etc, etc.

Still haven't recovered from the winter gluttony. Need to shave off about a stone.

 

[Is it PotG?]

My body is a temple.

I take it you’re fat then.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Your BMI is 24 which is in the healthy category

 

[knocky1]

23.8 and good for age. Heaviest I have ever weighed at moment after eating up for 2 marathons in last 4 weeks. Need to lose about 7lbs over next few months.
Red wine time now.

I am overweight (not obese) yes, although I have lost over 6lbs in the last 6 weeks on the 5:2 diet. BMI takes no account of the fat percentage of the body and sports people can appear overweight due to their muscle.

The difference between waist and hip measurements is more accurate.

I also have an autoimmune disease and Hashimotos disease which affects my metabolism. I do eat healthily but have to be more careful than most as I can put weight on just by eating normally.

 

[skipper734]

33, but I have a lot of muscle around my middle.

 

[studio150]

Like 79% of my age bracket I am overweight.

 

[SicilianHungary]

It's calling me obese at 29.6, but I certainly don't feel it - even after the hour long walk it takes to get to town or a good hour on a treadmill or cross trainer in the gym or a four hour bar shift.

My body is a temple.

Has it got planning permission for an extension?

 

[banjo]

BMI 25 overweight. BMI of 24.9 = healthy weight.

 

[bluenitsuj]

My body is a temple.

One that is falling apart?

 

[looney]

Dont worry, If JC gets into no 10 he will cure obesity, socialists are good at that.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Has it got planning permission for an extension?

Probably!

It does actually look like something that the Babylonians destroyed 2,500 years ago.

 

[Taybha]

21.3 , most of that is my eyebrows

 

[dazzer6666]

BMI 25 overweight. BMI of 24.9 = healthy weight.

Exactly this for me. I am a complete fatbastard 25.1. I need to lose nearly 2lb to be “healthy”.

Actually carrying at least half a stone more than I’d like after a few weeks off running with a niggle, then exacerbated by two weeks on holiday eating and drinking for England.

BMI is a flawed measurement and takes no account of muscle weight.

Also takes no account of genetics, age and cultural trends.

It's basically another load of old bollox to feed into our increasingly neurotic society.

Exactly. My GP and consultant rheumatologist agree.
