What's your BMI?

[SallyAnne]

(Did you go to my school...!?!)

I am ashamed LB. I have let the CUK top cuisinary echelon down with such ashamed behaviour. I shall forthwith purchase a fine bottle of Aberlour 21 Year Old.

I’m supposed to be having a day off but I can see the wife switching into full shopping mode. Curses! And there I was going for a cycle ride, brief pint in the local, reading the paper, bit of editing of my custom DM-Goatswood map... oh well...

You and Mrsgoof were very funny las night - it made me chuckle

"Your BMI result is: 10000, You are nearly dead."

Well my BMI is 31, but according to thier figures when I was 19 and doing 2-3 hours of physical exercise a day my BMI was 28. Considering that at the time I was skinny as a rake and had a 32" waist I tend to think of BMI as as a load of old tosh.


I'm overweight at the moment, but that does not mean that i'm not fit, and that I don't have a healthy diet. I'm just not as fit as I used to be and my metabolism has probably slowed down as I have got older leading to me gaining some weight.

Have you noticed that everyone with a high BMI has made an excuse about BMI being inaccurate

ha ha - I know I was expecting far more piss taking from you all this morning - yous have let me down.

Erm... I meant the muscle is denser than Fat, so by volume, muscule is heavier, but I see your point. That must explain the vast discrepancy between this result and the one I had when BMI was measured with little wires sellotaped all over me.

Yes per volume muscle is heaver, my BMI comes out as 25.3 which means I'm slightly overweight. But, I go to the gym 4 times a week and use weights. On elctromagnetic measuring equipment my body fat is around 16%, which is def not overweight. BMI tells you little about lean body mass.

Probably because those of us who were extemely active while younger and have now put on a bit of weight have BMI's that imply we are substantially more overweight than we are.

Note that I did not say I was not overweight, just that i'm not as overweight as my BMI implies.

23.12 but with thighs like giant redwoods

24.26

MPORTANT: Please note that BMI is not as accurate if you are an athlete or very muscled (muscle weighs more than fat)

Does that include darts?
