Check your BMI

That's Body Mass Index if you didn't know. Check it here

My BMI is 27 which they say puts me at risk. Being 6'1" and 204 lbs. I would have to get down to about 180 to be in the healthy range. At that weight I would be a walking skeleton.

What do you think of the scale? Accurate or BS?

it says mine is 19.

but either way, the thing isnt too accurate, IMO.

heh I am 6'0 204. It says 28... I would be a skeleton at 180 too...

What a crock.....if I were to drop weight to get down to a "safe" range I would be smaller than I was when I was at 15 and in the best shape of my life.

This BMI calculator has been around for years. I never could believe their scale.

Arent they the ones that said MJ is overweight and the entire Bulls Team in near Obease back in like 98-99?

I think the BMI scale was created by Washington beurocrats, probably the same ones who came up with the "food pyramid". The fp, by the way, has found to be a total farce. If you base your diet on it you will become obese.

I squeaked into the average range with a 24.03 BMI rating.

6'0 and 177 lbs, BTW.

WTF is this? Some special Ally McBeal version of this thing???

6'3" just shy of 190 and I'm borderline fat (BMI 24). What bs. I'm a little thinner than I want to be.
