I’m still a fat bersteward no matter which one I use.

thankfully not as much of one as I was 18months ago (2st down, 2 more to go)

Fatty alert

I hope that’s a self effacing comment otherwise it’s just plain offensive.

It’s just plain offensive

I’ve always thought the old one was height sqaures for mathematical simplicity.

I’m 6 foot 4 and this now tips me just the right side of 25. Which is fairer i think. On the old scale I’d have had to loose 5 kg to be 25. I’m still aimimg to loose 5kg but at that weight I’ll be a pretty healthy shape

Your new BMI: 22.36

Your old BMI: 23.33

🙂

23.5 to 23.4.

Down 0.1, meh.

spot the elephant

You’re doing veterinary work too?

Try the steak, I’m here all week!

27.8 to 26.5.

Sorry its crock. Ive got a fat gut at the moment. 35waist. 15.4lb/6ft1.6.

Weighed at gym/height ting tonight.

Surely most of us are aware of whether we need to lose a few pounds or not by looking in the mirror?

Bang on/exactly.

I’ve gone from exactly in the middle of the normal band to a bit below the middle of normal.

Fry up for brekkie tomorrow then 😀

still crap, I’m overweight somehow, as I exercise I predict my weight will either remain stable or creep up a little (as it normally does) making me a right porker. Or proving that BMI is not an individual measurement and that people could put a little more effort in.

I was just underweight on the old scale, on the new one I’m further underweight, means nowt.

Woohoo! I just went from ‘obese’ to ‘overweight’. I can celebrate, can’t I?

Have a cake.

I’m not sure we really need BMI to know if we’re in good health or not do we? Surely people can tell how much fat is too much? Even if they don’t admit it/do anything about it…
The state this country’s got itself into is shocking. Being of sensible weight now puts you in a minority.
And we’re nowhere near having to deal with the full costs of it yet either… if anything’s going to wreck the NHS it’s people’s inability to look after themselves…

I’m not sure we really need BMI to know if we’re in good health or not do we?

A lot of people do. The number is ammo doctors can use against people in denial, I suspect.

I’ve gone from exactly in the middle of the normal band to a bit below the middle of normal.

This. I can live with that.

it’s still wrong dimensionally, should be cube of height!

Plan for this year, become ‘overweight’ through training and muscle mass, not cake and pies
