Turns out being 5' 11" and 102kgs makes me clinically obese !!!! i have a BMI of 35.6

Seams a bit harsh to me, yeah im a bit in the large side at the moment and im starting to do something about it (hence i now know my BMI 35.6) but i'm a fairly stocky build and carry the weight ok,

Mines like on Normal but closeish to underweight hahaha.

[crotchrocket]

[alterastro]

James, you fat git!

I think you read the chart wrong mate...

You are Obese, not clinically obese

Me? I'm just inside the Obese section too at 6'2" and 105kg.

Maybe we should start the Obese Vx Owners Club UK?

I think this chart might be of help to us on this side of the pond if the weight was in pounds and not stones or kilos.
Peace.

Tom,

It lists height in meters and in feet (opposite axis). It also lists weight in lbs and kg (opposite axis).

I hate those things. I know I'm carrying a few extra lbs right now but I don't think I'm obese. If they want me to be anorexic (sp?), they can shove that chart where the sun don't shine.

BTW, I'm 5'8" @ 200 lbs.

[tomdietrying]

Tom,
One side of the weight is in Kilograms and the other is in Stones.
Peace.

Kilograms and stones, What does a stone weigh?
My BMI is around 19. I pretty much weigh what I weighed in high school!

[taylorRichie]

5'11" 68 KG Looks like I'm OK.



Tom I just type in google 150lb to KG and it does the conversion on the fly for you.

[Moncha]

TDT, click on the link.. the chart there is better for us non metrics

That's crap! I'm 6'03"/195lbs and it says I'm over weight. Those that have seen me in person, Am I over weight? Haa! Me thinks it's just a ploy to try and make the perfect human specimen. Everybody should look like the ripped, cut, over boobed twigs on TV.

[circmand]

I'm under tall

According to the chart about two feet under tall

[Scott Harness]

over boobed twigs on TV.

DroolMMMMmmm

Those charts are worth about as much as the paper they are written on...that ones not even on paper so you get the point. They do not take into account bone density, muscle mass, water percentage, etc.
By the way, it has me in the overweight catagory...I am 5'7 and 156 lbs.
Lets see, this week I will have biked 250 miles, ran 65 miles and swam 10,000 yards....wonder what it takes to be in the normal range other than forcing yourself to throw up after every meal?

And Moncha, you were looking a little plump in Moab!
Just kidding of course!

Off to the pool I go...gotta get skinny!

[Ldub]

So this is probably about ideal weight...



Mmehhh...that's OK, I'll go on living large, pleasingly plump, vertically challenged, short for my weight...call it what you will, I've gotta have some in reserve, to get through the cold Northern winters...

She wouldn't last one January day around these here parts...

Me?...6 feet nuthin / 225-230, depending...

Sweetness just fixed me a couple of ham,spam,onion,egg & swiss hoagies, so I'm thinkin this afternoon, it's gonna be closer to 230...
