Are you over-weight or under-weight?

My weight for my height has got absolutely nothing to do with it. As when I put weight on it all goes round my stomach, no where else.

So this brings up this question...

What is the correct weight for my height?

Is it fat round the waist but the correct weight to the text book.

Or is it like my doctor says. It depend on the person. As carrying fat isn't good for you in the long run.

I am the right weight for my height.

Guess running them 3 miles/day habit from my days in the Army helped, eh?

I'm just about right. Some how, I managed to end up 15 lighter after my pregnancy than I was before I got pregnant.....not sure how that happened...

I am overweight but not overfat. I weight train and do cardiovascular exercise 4 - 5 times a week. My diet consists of protein shakes, fruits, vegetables, lean beef and fish.

weight wise I'm overweight but when you consider how much muscle than I'm good

Under-weight, my forearms are so skinny. I usually wear long sleeve clothes, I don't like to see my skinny arms.

I'm past the point of the BMI being accurate for me. The mirror says I'm still lean enough though.

If I relied on pure BMI numbers, I'd be overweight.

1kg = 2.2lbs
1lb = .45 kg
1 stone ( :wtf: ) = 14lbs

(1kg = the mass of a liter of water btw)

I weigh about 20 stones and am 6'1" then, but it's not all fat. When I was in good shape for baseball in college, I weighed a touch under....16 stone. Just like the Bush's best album. (not George Bush!)
