Some good quotes from people well placed to comment but lacking on detail

So with just a very quick google search I've found 2 articles that show the doubt in the acuracy of BMI

Lozzy thats so funny, im also having pizza tho Just sent hubby out for it!My bmi at booking apt was 25.6 so only just over "normal" but have lost weight since then so prob lower, i never ever go on bmi though as i agree with sammi in that muscle, frame and water should be considered! I always just go on weight and how i feel in my clothes!

Thanks Kerrie! Nice to see I am not the only one who thinks its not reliable!

 

[lozzy21]

Yer but my actual weight is more shocking than my BMI

 

[sammiwry]

Its a difficult one lozzy I firmly believe too much pressure is put on people about weight some people carry weight better than others.

I saw a woman whilst I was at work that must be a size 0, she was about 5' if that, very slim built and very slim and to you know what? She looked awful in my eyes, much too frail and slight.

omg i cant sstand pizza since i have fell pregnant, was my fav before x

 

[bubblebubble1]

[Kerrieann]

hey lozzy i could see yr 2nd pic but not the 1st one - said it wasn't available or something!!!


As for BMI its true that it isn't really very accurate - my DH was classed as overweight according to his BMI last year but he was anything but - was running around 75 miles a week!! Muscle weighs more than fat so of course being 6ft 2 and 14/15 st it would class him as overweight! If he weighed what the BMI table shows as healthy for his height he would look bloody awful and decidely ill!!! I however am pretty average - 5ft 9, 11 st 11 and a UK size 12 and my bmi works out as 24 so is fine! but 2 years ago I was a uk size 8 at which time my bmi would probably have been too low!!!!

Welcome over bubble - glad to see u've taken the plunge!!!
