I can't say I give a shit TBH

Although, I'd hate to have the physique of a 13 yr old gymnast that some seem to think is OK

How did you manage to find such a dull article?

I'm sure if you ask Ian nicely, he can dumb it down to your level. Possibly add some pictures.

And what's your level Jamie? Saying things behind a keyboard that I very much doubt you'd have the balls to say to someone's face?

Well done.

I can't speak for jamie, but I'd have no trouble saying such things to someone's face. It's just normal light hearted banter. Or do you have visions of the only way to say such things is with an angry red face, veins bulging on you're forehead with a wound out neck? 😀

*I've added a smiliey to indicate that no blood vessels were burst writing this 🙂

BMI was never designed as an individual measure, it's a broad-brush, simple, rough guide calculation to allow a generalised comparison between population groups, not individuals. It's a fairly meaningless measure, whether you're a skinny wee ****, a "big-boned athlete" or a straight out-and-out fatass. People obsess over this far too much...

PS - I fit into the "big-boned athlete" category. I'd be skinny if I didn't love beer and pies so much... 🙂

I suspect I probably fit in the biffer in denial category. Pretty normal BMI, but not much muscle and probably quite a bit more fat than I'd own up to 🙂

Jamie strikes me as being abit angry at life ATM.

My BMI is 28. I could do with some toning up I admit however I wouldn't say obese!

28.4! Eat that suckas!!!

Pies and beer make your bones bigger - I've got skinny wrists and ankles so I might give it a go 😉

22.01 the NHS website tells me

mines 21.7.

BMI 20-25 — Normal Weight

which means I'm only just normal, sounds about right.

Kev

BMI is just under 26 for me, but I've never regarded it as a useful measure for individuals.

To be <25 I'd need to be below 14st 4lbs, which would pretty much take me back to teenage years

I'm not reading that, there's no piccy's!

22.7

I'm pretty lean.

Ooo !.

I love Roasted, salted, Pistachio nuts.

Yuurrrmmm.

😉

21.23 for me, I'm still carrying some winter lard though. 😛

I'm trying to get my BMI up to 28.5.
Whilst doing so, I'm eating healthier than I ever have and training very hard (CV & Strength). It's at 27.3 ATM, so still some work to do.

I'm overweight according to the bmi.

I have add another calculation for athletic people.

I'm about 20. just a tad below
was below 17 a couple of years ago

BOOM. 19, and that's with a little bit o a belly. I have no muscles whatsoever.

19

Proving my theory that STW is full of lard arse obese IT nerds who mince around on 5k bikes.

get bel[u]ow the bmi then you won't be below what so and says so and you will live a happy and successful life. Respect. [/u] **** all that shit eat some pies and be happy and ride a bike all over the place. Philosophise that.

TAFKASTR = pwned

22.7 here but I've lost 4 stone in a year thanks to road biking.

Proving my theory that STW is full of lard arse obese IT nerds who mince around on 5k bikes.

Just think how much lower your BMI would be without that massive chip on your shoulder.

For every lard arse IT nerd there's a malnourished DBA geek.

Just remember,
In any survival situation, stuck out in a wilderness, fat people become fit and thin, and thin people die:)
Bmi of less than 22, best never leave the house!

1. Article posted about how BMI is nonsense.
2. Lots of people post their BMI.

Plus an angry response within a couple of posts. Got to love STW.

Just because I'm winning! 😆

I think part of the idea behand the perfect body can be traced back to fear and persecution from the Nazis, anything away from the norm was simply irradicated. Now in a world of new found freedomes the biffers can fight back. All IMO, of course.
BMI 20.

all of you bmi 19 people you are on the very cusp of being underweight.

surely you should consider eating some actual food and then not purging straight afterwards?

BMI to Nazis in less than 40 posts. Awesome.

I've got Hitler, Goebbels and Albert Speer down as having a decent BMI though. I wonder if they picked on poor old Goering.

It's pretty hard to lift a banana when you're that skinny.

what about a snack size gluten free pizza slice?

The only accurate measurement is the pinch test anyway.

Has it got anchovies on it?

capers

Goodness me !.

Is this the Good Friday shift ?.

Pretty slim pickings.

Oh well.

Lets get started.

You overlooked my post.
I haven't posted my BMi.

I've only declared my love of nuts...

So I guess, I'm in the right place......

Wanna fight?

[i]Wanna fight? [/i]

Not sure.

Firstly, are you insured ?.

Secondly, is hospital food on the iDave diet ?.
I'd hope so for your sake.

😉

That'd only measure the fat just below the skin? The stuff that kills you is inside.

Firstly no I am not insured;

Secondly can we wait until we can get a definitive answer regarding hospital food and the iDave diet. Because I don't wan't to risk the possibility that I could loose and subsequently I would be forced to eat no iDave food stuffs. If it is confirmed that hospital food is on the iDave diet I will get some M&S street fighter insurance and then its on like donky kong. Other wise I'll call you names from the other side of the road.

loose

sorry I can't spell

*lose

[i]M&S street fighter insurance and then its on like donky kong[/i]
LMAO !.

Excellent.
although now, I will admit that I can not hospitalise someone who posts amusing stuff.
We need as much of that here as possible.

So, this is why TSY is our spelling corrections master.
Setting himself up nicely, to never mispell anything he posts.
Ever again....

Hhhhmmmm.

Well. Only once you've eaten it.

21.8 no flab :))

haha fatty. next!..

Hopefully next week my Mum will think I look ill. Then I know I'm at race weight.

37.7

Is that good or bad?

Jeez, I can't even win the BMI race! 🙁

[i]Jeez, I can't even win the BMI race![/i]

Dude, forget it.
Racing is insane.

You're the real winner as you are quite possibly the iDave diet, recipe King.

No mean feat, is that !.

Whats on the iDave diet - Bagstard menu, for the long weekend ?.
