What's your BMI (for fun)?

[Thestupidusername]

KEEP IN MIND THIS ALONE DOES NOT SAY IF YOU ARE HEALTHY OR NOT.

Am just doing it for fun. Mine is 18.5. But BMI alone can never say if you are healthy or not. You can gain more due to more muscle mass etc..

Below 18.5

18.5 - 24.9

25 and above

[wolfcat87]

BMI is a horrible measurement for women, minorities, and anyone who works out. It was made for sedentary white men. It should be done away with and the focus should be on body composition measurements to give people the best view of their health.

As a curvy, tall girl who works out and is muscular, my BMI says obese but my body fat percentage is only 25%. Most of that is in my chest alone.

"For people aged 20 to 39, women should aim for 21% to 32% of body fat. Men should have 8% to 19%. For people 40 to 59, women should fall between 23% to 33% and men should fall around 11% to 21%. If you're aged 60 to 79, women should have 24% to 35% body fat and men should have 13% to 24%."

[Thestupidusername]

Im aware of all that.. hense what I wrote😂 but thanks for taking your time writing it more clearly:)

[Cynicaldreamer]

Mine is 25.3 with 20 percent body fat. So while I'm technically "overweight" I exercise 5-6 days a week, eat fairly well, and I'm building muscle (per my smart scale, I'm composed of 116 lbs of muscle!) Considering that's roughly 75 percent of my body weight? I'm not complaining, lol

[Thestupidusername]

@Cynicaldreamer sounds great! You sound healthier than me😂😌👍👍

[Mpodere]

I am 36, mi BMI is 22,5 and my body fat mass is around 23%
I'm a little overweight, do you think too?

[wolfcat87]

@Mpodere That's not a bad size, so it really depends on what you want to look like.

[Apple1996]

26 but it's cuz I'm basically a dwarf so it throws it off. Bmi doesn't work well for very short or very tall people

[Thestupidusername]

👍👍

[TCredo]

@Apple1996 It really doesn't... I'm 6' 3" and lean at 190 for a BMI of 23.7 which is near the top end of the "normal weight". I could easily add 10 pounds and still be lean - but then the BMI would have me as overweight :)

[FenixG45]

You're NOT a dwarf in my eyes!

[AmeerX]

@TCredo same problem here

[AmeerX]

@Apple1996 you are not obese lol. For married with kids women can have slightly higher index and they still look fine visually

[Apple1996]

@AmeerX true I'm also preggo rn so can't be hard on myself

[AmeerX]

Oh yeah, that's cool

[WhiteSteve]

BMI is like 25, so I’m technically slightly overweight…. except my REAL scale says I’m under 10% body fat. Sorry for lifting🙄😒 Every time I go to the doctor and I see a BMI number on the chart, I’m like “REALLY? How about giving us an actual body fat analysis, you cheap/lazy fucks?”

[Thestupidusername]

Hahaha same. BMI is useless😂

[NathanDavis]

I always come out as "overweight" lmao...

I guess an athletic built is not considered as a metric for it

[NathanDavis]

BMI = 26.4 kg/m2 (Overweight)

¬¬

[Thestupidusername]

👍👍

[NathanDavis]

I need the muscles for sports... lol

[Thestupidusername]

Yup😆

[IslaTheWitch]

I could use some of your BMI, @NathanDavis :D

[NathanDavis]

@IslaTheWitch do you need to tackle someone down? lol...

[IslaTheWitch]

@NathanDavis lol...

[NathanDavis]

@IslaTheWitch I do know a few...

[IslaTheWitch]

@NathanDavis it looks painful...

[NathanDavis]

@IslaTheWitch well... that's why I need all 200 pounds of me, lol

there more impact is absorbed by every pound... lmao

[IslaTheWitch]

@NathanDavis oki, I get it... lol

[IslaTheWitch]

18.7, still in range :D

[Thestupidusername]

Nice!😊

[IslaTheWitch]

I find it annoying :D or I'm overweight (for many years I was) or on the border of underweight... normal range is so wide and I still barely hit it :D

[Thestupidusername]

Yeah no need to worry about that. BMI is pretty useless to be honest😅 just live a healthy life as possible and you should be good:)

[IslaTheWitch]

Yeah, it's exactly how I do currently... but still... :D

And in Europe BMI is a base for doctors to assess if the patient needs to put some effort or not. My doctor jokes that if start to eat it will be better :D but I do eat ffs :D

[Thestupidusername]

Yup😂 BMI alone can't say if you are healthy or not. You just burn calories fast then. It no issue lol.

[tfan1]

December 7 2023 I was diagnosed with Prediabetes, high blood pressure and high bad cholesterol. My bmi was 29.58 weight 230 lb 6.5 oz. Bp was 134/91 I stopped all soft drinks and ate chicken Caesar salads from Sam’s club I use Taco Bell mild sauce and black pepper for my dressing 25 mg of sodium per 2 tablespoons I believe

December 21 2023 - I went back for blood pressure checkup I am proud to say with high cholesterol medicine - my bmi is 28.22, my weight is now 219 lbs 6.8 oz, and bp is now 127/85 😃👍

[Thestupidusername]

Nice!

Hope you get rid of the diabetes:)

[tfan1]

@thestupidusername - Thank you. It’s pre diabetes - so yes I haven’t stepped into what I call the danger zone yet. I’d say I think I’m ok. One weapon I have is 90% dark chocolate only 4 grams of sugar 👍🙂

[Thestupidusername]

Nice!!

I like dark chocolate 😍

[tfan1]

@thestupidusername. This is what I eat. www.lindtusa.com/90-percent-cocoa-dark-chocolate-excellence-bar-392977

[Thestupidusername]

Me too lol! Those exist in US? Or where are you lol?

[tfan1]

@thestupidusername - United States. 🇺🇸 I have found them in food lion and at Walmart 👍🙂

[Thestupidusername]

Nice 😊

[pascal_climbs]

I sport 4-5x/wk and have a fat mass of 14%, you healthy region.

[Thestupidusername]

😊 Nice

[wiltingrosepetal]

19.9. My resolution last year was to gain weight because I was veeeery underweight 😍 I'm still bony but this is a big ol' improvement

[Thestupidusername]

Thats great! Am glad you have improved! Keep going!

[wiltingrosepetal]

Thanks! :)

[molonski2]

Depends how you are measuring of course , scales ( cheap ) are not accurate. BMI measure is a vital health indicator.

[Thestupidusername]

Yeah I know. I mean by the link:)

[molonski2]

Yeah , I get it , but that generalises as per the scales , because its only doing weight / height / age , its not calculating your muscle , so its only general.
On a really low body fat , muscular guy ( or girl ) the calculator doesn't work , its doing same as some apps and scales.

[Thestupidusername]

Yeah I know I already said all that lol. So am asking on the link above:)

[molonski2]

Fair enough - noted.

[Thestupidusername]

👍👍

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

18.9 as of yesterday morning. I look better at about 18.5

[Thestupidusername]

Nice

[4ngelic]

it constantly alternates between 23 or 24...

[4ngelic]

damn your lucky, always wanted to be that skinny. lowest i got in recent years was 20.3

[Thestupidusername]

No am not that skinny lol... but either way being super skinny is overrated

[MemeSupreme]

i think it was like 17 something. i stopped checking

[Thestupidusername]

👍👍

[Levin]

It's bang in the middle of the healthy category I think. Something like 21.5.

[Thestupidusername]

Nice!:)

[LiamJHayden]

6'2 and 196 with just under 10% body fat and run and work out six days per week. BMI has me at 25.2, which is "overweight" proving the useless of BMI.

[Thestupidusername]

Yup! Its useless I know hense what I wrote. But glad you are healthy!

[HighValue]

FYI, for anyone that exercises frequently, that BMI calculator is completely inaccurate.

[Thestupidusername]

I know lol hense what I wrote 😂

[Anonymous]

19.3! I used to be around 17ish but been eating well and working out to gain some weight and mass, looks like it’s paying off!

[Thestupidusername]

Am so happy to hear that! Many people dont think about the ones struggling to gain weight!:)

[Opinion Owner]

Thank you xx I wish you health and happiness for the upcoming new year ✨

[Thestupidusername]

Thank you. Wish you health and happiness too🤗🤗

[exitseven]

It is 27.5. I am overweight. The last time i checked i had a Body Fat percentage of 16.

[Thestupidusername]

Alright:)

[DarkWinterNights]

25.5 - I guess I’m 3.8lbs overweight. So not too terrible.

[Thestupidusername]

:)) yeah but BMI isn't that useful lol so you could still be healthy

[DarkWinterNights]

Meh, I’ve had too much sugar and no where near enough exercise this Holliday season.

[Thestupidusername]

Alright well at least you are aware

[DJB72]

31 and it means fuck all. Body fat percentage is a better measure.

[Thestupidusername]

👍👍

[douride2]

Mine comes out to 24. Guess I'm still good.

[Thestupidusername]

👍👍

[MissBoogus]

It always says im slightly under , but im pregnant right now so can't do it

[Thestupidusername]

Oh okay congrats on the baby!

[Cubus]

28.7. I'm trying to lose weight at the moment

[Thestupidusername]

Hope it goes well!:)

[Cubus]

So far I just try not to eat in the evening. So far it works.

I know that the weight loss in the beginning is the biggest and later slows down. If it won't work in long term I would think about something else

[Thestupidusername]

Yeah I think you told me that last time I was on gag. Sounds like a good idea though:)

[Cubus]

Did I? I don't remember

[AngryCarl]

24.94 last time I checked, so I'm within the legal limit.

[AngryCarl]

Having said that, BMI isn't a complete reflection of physical condition, sadly.

[Thestupidusername]

👍🏻👍🏻

[Alex-Snow]

I'm at 21%. I run or swim almost every day and try to eat well

[linka_pat307]
