<p>What are all your bmi’s?</p>

<p>My wife will make all of the soup that I want from scratch - my problem is figuring out the nutritional content. I can have her leave out the salt too. I guess that’s a future project after our current project with beans.</p>

<br>

<br>

<p>Mine is 28. Down from 34.7. I lived a good chunk of my life under 20 but the stress and pressure of raising a family and working a very high-stress job took their toll. I’m working to undo about eleven years of that now.</p>

<p>Wow 34.7 you go girl! What was ur old weight? How did u do it?? I need some ticks and trips to get mine down that low lol! :)</p>

<ol>
<li>Solution was eating a high-fat diet. Nothing like eating a percentage of fat and protein to lose weight.</li>
</ol>

<p>LOL are you being facetious? Cause I’ve heard protein is good but high-FAT? lol I don’t think so!!! How tall are you/what’s ur gender</p>

<p>High-fat/high-protein diets suppress hunger making it easier to eat fewer calories overall.</p>

<p>Conventional wisdom to go with a high-carb, low-fat diet has resulted in a nation of overweight people.</p>

<p>BCeagle is a he, princess.</p>

<p>There is some script error in the livestrong website. My netbook gives me the error msg and will not let me into the site as it thinks it will let malware in. I can still get in on my dh’s laptop, wich has much higher security. Weird.</p>

<p>ya he wouldn’t tell me his gender so thx jym</p>

<br>

<br>

<p>It could be your security software or browser security. I haven’t seen any script issues at all with LiveStrong and I use it with FlashBlock on some machines.</p>

<p>My BMI is 20.4.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Dang. That’s like fashion model territory. </p>

<p>I’m afraid I’m just never going to live up to the World Health Organization BMI standards. They say I’m still 10 pounds away from being in the “normal” category. :frowning: That, despite my current body fat of somewhere in the 15% to 18% range and wearing a pair of old grubby yard work jeans today that I bought when I was in my late 20s.</p>

<p>No fashion model here, idad, I can assure you! I still have some meat on me.</p>

<p>You are in good company. Zuzanna’s BMI is 20.3. 5’6" tall, 126 pounds.</p>

<p>It’s reassuring to know that the World Health Organization does put her in the overweight category!</p>

<p>I would have to lose an additional 36 pounds to get to a BMI of 20. That ain’t happening. That would be less than 0% body fat on me. I guess you’d be able to see my abs, though…</p>

<p>My daughter’s is 19.</p>

<p>We were at Trader Joes and she dropped a box of frosted flakes into the cart. I had a look at it and put it back in the cart. Daughter could use more muscle.</p>

<p>20.3 here, same as Zuzanna’s, down from 24.8. At about 5’ 6" I’m too short to be a model :slight_smile: </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Can you provide a link? I’m not aware of any WHO weight guidelines that say so. BMI of 20 is at the lover level of “normal”. I have also seen a chart or two with height/weight tabulated by “body frame”. If she is a “large frame”, then she will be considered underweight.</p>

<p>19.4. I don’t think much of that measure of health/fitness.</p>

<p>Ummmm – at 5’ 0", I’m definitely too short to be a model!!</p>

<p>Don’t worry too much about BMI, Think more in terms of body fat %.</p>

<p>BMI is just how big you should be for your height. I have friends who have high BMIs, but no body fat. Their BMI is high because the amount of muscle they have isn’t normal for their size.</p>

<p>On the other hand, i know people who are considered underweight, but they’re pretty muscular and fit. They’re not really “Underweight”, it’s just that their body fat% are so low that they’re lean. </p>

<p>Get it? </p>

<p>BMI is goof for normal average person, but if you consider yourself somewhat athletic try to steer clear of it. (Mine’s 21.1)</p>

<p>Now, Specifically for you PrincetonPrincess. I’m aware that you are 115 pounds and trying to lose weight? You’re 5"9’, so i assume you look skinny in clothes. </p>

<p>Well, i feel that you might be suffering from a condition i call “SkinnyFat” </p>

<p>To put it simply, “Skinny fat” is where you look skinny and underweight in clothes, but underneath, you have alot of fat.</p>

<p>You can tell if you’re skinny fat if you you have a low BMI, but a comparable high body fat%.</p>

<p>This is usually the cause of many girls going down the path of anorexia. They weight little to nothing, but because they have no muscle, they lack the “toned” look they desire. </p>

<p>Well, all i’m trying to say is lift weights if you want that beach body. It won’t come fast, but remeber weightlifting is a marathon not a race. Try it for a year, and if you’re doing it right, you’ll see good results.</p>

<p>Examples of skinnyfat include some Cross country runners (No lifting), and sedentary people who eat very little (Again no lifting)</p>

<p>I’m 5’9" I’m too short to model I wish I were taller I want to model lol</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Ooops. My bad. Typo. I meant that the WHO **doesn’t **put Zuzanna in the overweight category!</p>
