I think it would be cool to know some health stuff about other kiwis, also feel free to post your stats along with BMI.

 

[PT 404]

Mine is 74.8 and my lungs are drowning in butter.

I liked you more when you were dead.

I recently purchased TFVG's cookbook and will be at 16 in three weeks.

16.1 on a diet of strictly ramen and soda

I'm like 85% sure that this is some higher power's way of telling me to stop living altogether

BMI is a bad scale because it's all muscle on me.... I swear.

Mostly it is comically enough, but 22. Fuck you office job.

 

[Hydroxylic Acid]

BMI of 26.3 as of today (6'4 216 pounds)
I'm not the leanest right now but I'm nowhere near overweight from a medical standpoint, and I don't think anyone would call me fat. Height does tend to skew BMI slightly (since it's weight divided by the height squared, and we humans are kind of three dimensional, so using a factor of height cubed instead should more accurate, and even then it doesn't work perfectly, as the proportions of a tall person vs a short person is slightly different). As a result of that, BMI is larger than it "should" be for taller people and smaller than it "should" be for shorter people.
Plus I have lifted weights on a regular basis for almost 3 years, so I should expect (or at least hope for) a larger amount of muscle mass than your average sedentary individual.

Does make me lol if an average/short person with a BMI of >30 claims that it's "all muscle" though

 

[Ninja_Warrior]

17.5, for asians it's considering normal.
SBMI is a much better assessment, and I'm "ideal" in that.

 

[JU 199]

I have mayonnaise for blood

 

[DrainRedRain]

I'm 19.5 right now, because thank god I gained some muscle with proper train and diet. I was stick thin and hated it. I want to be at least 20.5

 

[Some JERK]

I'm hungry. Let's go get some tacos.

 

[Ja'mie]

I'm currently 23.6, an increase I blame on water weight. I tend to gain a few pounds of water when I'm cycling creatine.

 

[MellowJello]
