Goodness knows I realize it every time I put on a bra. I remember when my boobs used to hold up my bra.. not the other way around. But then I do not have 4 hours a day to devote to the gym each and every day with a family to take care of... and my job is much different. So do you guys ever get squicked when you see HWP on a profile? Gwyn

MissHarlet -> RE: BMI is Bull Sht* (4/1/2008 4:53:41 PM)
NO.... I just think to myself ... a ball is HWP to a ball <EG>

dollparts I think you should step back and see that people do have emotions...and feelings and you want all of us to be soooo supportive of you but yet you come on here and talk bad about others. It doesn't matter how big someone is it matters on what they are on he inside as it has been commonly said Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

That poem is SO getting printed, framed and hung on my office wall! I should mention that I'm the only female in an office of all men.

BMI is definitely BS. And the funny thing is, I remenber when it first gained real popularity as an alternative to the old height and weight charts. At that time everyone was saying how out of date and unreliable those old charts were. but you know, at least those old charts had different weights for thin, medium, and heavy builds, which makes them more accurate than BMI's. But the problem with BMI's is that they pay no attention to your body composition. Are you heavy boned? Are you muscular? These things are not taken into account by BMI. My BMI is 25.6, which makes me borderline obese. There is no denying that there is an obesity epidemic in America, and that being overweight can lead to many health risks, but putting something out there that oversimplifies an issue, and misleads or misinforms the public is not helpful. If you really want to know how healthy you are, get a physical. Get a full lipid profile, get your blood sugar checked, check your blood pressure. You may be carrying a few extra pounds and still be perfectly healthy. That said, losing that extra bodyfat in a sensible and safe program will most likely make you healthier. And if you are the type that needs some kind of measurement tool to judge yourself, you are better off getting your bodyfat tested. Weighing in water is the most accurate way to do this, but there is also the caliper method(accurate when done correctly), and electrical impedence devices(not that accurate, but useful as a tool for measuring progress).

dollparts85 -> RE: BMI is Bull Sht* (4/1/2008 6:09:21 PM)
I'm 5'1 and 283 lbs and my blood pressure runs around 90/60, my cholesterol was 177 last they checked and my blood sugar was 91. Does that mean I'm healthy? LOL

beachstoyboy -> RE: BMI is Bull Sht* (4/1/2008 6:09:22 PM)
What really blows my mind about BMI is that it is used by DOCTORS. These are medical professionals, and their using such a flawed tool only serves to propogate its use.
