Reply from Julie, Age 17 - 04/05/06 - IP#: 4.242.171.xxx BMI is your body mass index. I think it's a ratio of your weight to your height. However, i don't think that the tong things will measure your BMI. For BMI, it doesnt matter how much fat and/or muscle you have. You can find out yours on the internet. Just do a search for body mass index. Most doctors have agreed that it is an inaccurate way to determine if you are overweight. The tongs are probably to measure your body fat, which will take fat weight vs. muscle weight into consideration.
Reply from anne, Age 19 - 04/05/06 - IP#: 131.229.170.xxx it wont matter what you do with the muscle in your belly(like sucking it in or pushing it out) becaus it will only be pinching the fat to check your body fat percentage and you can't manipulate your fat really...sorry- you will be facing the naked truth if you suk it in or not.
