~REPLY WRITING AREA~ |
Before you post a reply saying that you are overweight or that you want to lose weight, please first check our Weight Calculator . If the calculator says that you are healthy weight, please do not post a message saying that you are overweight or that you want to lose weight. This offends the kids who really are overweight. Thanks a lot. |
Message Replying To From Amanda, Age 18 Ht. 5'8", Start: 225 lb, Today: 195 lb, Goal: 175 lb - you know what's absolutely ridiculous? BMI charts. okay, i'm 195 lbs right now, but i look slim. i'm naturally heavy, and i have muscle and i'm tall. i know people use that excuse all the time but whatever, anyways the BMI charts tell me i need to weigh 150 lbs to be considered in a healthy weight. are you kidding me? if i weighed 150lbs i'd be a toothpick. i really think they need to snap into reality and make a chart that suits different body types as well as the "classic" body type. i'm not a little rake with a tiny bone structure, i'm a normal person. anyways, i'm not going by that. i'm going by how much fat i can pinch off myself. if i can grab a handful of fat, im overweight, if i can pinch next to nothing, i'm healthy. don't go by what this stupid chart says, go by how you look and feel. |
