That BMI approach is fine for someone who is thin or for people who are inactive. For people that lift weights, BMI is useless. Muscle is much heavier than fat, and BMI does not take that into account. According to my MBI (25.52), I am overweight, which is a rediculous thought. In order for me to have a "healthy" BMI, I'd have to drop 15 pounds of muscle (I don't think I have 15 pounds of fat to lose).

What about your other BMI? "Butt mass index"
You can drop like 25 pounds right there!

I read in the newspaper today that americans consume an average of 5,5kg(12,12lbs) chocolate per pear.
Brazilians only 1,3kg(2,86lbs), and in Switzerland(who has the best chocolate) only 1,5kg(3,3lbs).
Amazing:eek:

I will never eat another pickle again.... thanks for the visual IAB:blah:
BMI is definitely not ultra reliable. Mine is 27.25 and I'm not fat. I could lose 10 pounds, but I'm not almost obese by any means. I think it's great that they are ready to start, though.
