My girlfriend was bored and just surfing around on the web and found one of those bmi charts. So i put in my weight and height into it 6'4" and 210lbs. It says I'm overweight and should weigh between 162 to 198lbs...interesting, if I were to go by that standard I'd look anorexic. For those that are bored and want to see how fat you are here's the site. http://www.nowloss.com/Height_Weight_chart.htm |

| | | | That thing is on crack. First off, muscle weighs more than fat so you can have a guy who is my height, which is 6' 0" tall weigh 225lbs. but has a very muscular body. Obviously he is not overweight or obese.

Oh look, the site has a disclaimer. Quote: |

i could stand to lose about 25 but i fall into the muscle weighs more than fat category. i did gain a lot this winter though

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: North Dakota | | | I lost over 80 pounds, my body fat percentage was about 10, and people said I looked almost sickly...and I still weighed 198. By the BMI chart, I was still obese. Honestly, if I would have lost more, I think people would have done an intervention.
There's a lot more to being fit/healthy than a number on a chart. |

My goal weight is 170lbs, which I hope to hit by August. BMI is bunk. Blood pressure, cholesterol and body fat percentages are way more important.

I want to drink beer and look good, so thats what I'm working for.  |
