Not me. I've lost 6 pounds and am well on my way to 160.  :)

Nice one. How tall are you?

Quote from: Peter Wiggin on July 01, 2009, 03:23:12 PMThey are using numbers, but it's BMI so worthless.
There are exceptions with very muscular types, but I'd say at least 90% of those with a high BMI are actually too fat.

Oh, sure. Doesn't change the fact that the scale completely disregards it.

Most men's *ideal* weight would be "overweight" on the scale, or very close to it.

Well the country's BMI is going up rapidly and I do not think people are just working out more.  That does not necessarily mean people are overweight BUT they certainly weigh more than they used to.

Again this is irrelevent unless somehow all things are not equal with 1991 or 1985.  Unless you can prove our bodies have changed dramatically or people just lift weight more....

But I guess it could be all the steroids people are taking.

Pedro Wiggins, your arguments sound like something fat people say to feel less insecure.

Now that I have lost weight, I am certain that the BMI is an accurate and good measurement.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.
