Whats your BMI?

Just wondering what everyones BMI is (watching newsnight going on about refusing people for knee and hip operations with a BMI over 30), so is yours over 30 and if so do you consider yourself obese,

).

BMI IS A PILE OF HORSECRAP!!

According to BMI (26.2), I am a fat ***** (Overweight = 25-29.9)

I am 180cm and weigh a mere 85k, some girls I knew used to compete who has the lowest BMI, it's sad

Evidence

''competitive athletes and bodybuilders - BMI doesn’t distinguish between muscle and fat, so heavily-muscled people with low body fat could be classified as overweight or obese''

Haha, see!

Told ya!

Snap. Pleased by that, 2 weeks ago it would have been 17.8 and I looked ill

Sirrel Squirrel · 30 Jan 2006 at 21:03

5'11 and I think I'm 150 pounds, so BMI is 20.9 but as said before it's a load of crap because according to BMI, professional rugby players, boxers etc are overweight

which is why they're compared with body fat percentages. They're not taken on their own by doctors.

I'm 22.7 apparently
