Says I'm pretty much a stone overweight, what about you?

20.6 here.

With a weight range of 59.9kg - 81kg for "healthy"

It says "BMI sucks lol".

Also I'm a porker.

Also a stone overweight. More of me to love (until I die early from a heart attack).

21.5 here - pretty much bang in the middle of a healthy weight.

The thing is I walk 5 hours a day (I'm a postman) and have been eating relatively healthy for the past 5 month and I'm still overweight

Was about 30 a couple of months ago but i lost a few pounds and was at around 28. Just been on holiday for 10 days and i’m too scared to weigh myself for a few weeks lol.

I am pork scratching.

Should be max of ~80Kg according to link, sounds reasonable, that was my norm until piling on 12Kg since having long covid.

Minimum of ~59Kg sounds bonkers for me, I was under 10% fat according to our scales in '17 at ~73Kg.

23.3, not that great but not terrible I suppose.

Hawk Tuah · 22 Jun 2023 at 19:30

27.2.

They do say that muscle is heavier than fat....

24 so in the green. Desk jobs for the last 20 years have made me skinny fat. I have a bit of a belly but no other fat, not much muscle either

I'm probably similar which is why I am convinced BMI is not very accurate in certain cases.

I know a few porky posties. I think it's something to do with being in the Spoons by 2pm :cry:

Yaayuh! · 22 Jun 2023 at 19:36

I don’t need a BMI calculator to tell that I’m a fat ****.

Exactly. I look pretty trim but any sort of exercise reminds me I'm 40 and out of shape
