(I'm still trying to figure out what I should weigh). Going to do an immersion BFP test when I get some cash (they charge $50 here).

now you can check:

Click on BMI Calculator

Under new government guidelines, people with BMI's of 25 to 29.9 are considered overweight, while those with BMI's of 30 and above are considered obese. Those with BMI's of 18.5 or less are considered underweight.

I know...that's why I'm planning to go in for a real BFP test soon. When I was 193lb, I tested @ 15% by calipers, but those are notoriously innacurate.

What is your standard of overweight? Compared to the avarage or compared to what you should weigh as a healthy person?

Average weight doesn't exactly mean you are fit, especially if you are in America wherea all the lardasses pulls up the average by quite a bit.

Luckily no... I really don't do any exercise or anything but play the occasional sport. Still manage to stay in pretty good shape.

I was actually teetering on underweight for a while and then i had surgery on my foot and lost a lot of mobility. I am overweight now, but i have a large bone structure which makes me look less fat then i really am.
