bmi is hugely misleading
as it takes no account of proportion or muscle mass.

It's always the fatties that claim this.

Given that my chest weighs at least a stone on its own
my bmi is massively off kilter. A few years back, I lost a staggering amount of weight, and got so skinny it hurt to sit down in the bath. My boobs hadn't shrunk, though, so my bmi said I was only just at the top end of my healthy weight.

yeah but your chest is made up of fat and water, like camel humps
if you lost weight your tits would shrink

That's what I thought, too
but they didn't. Size 8-10 and still a fucking E cup. I kept falling over forwards.

it sucks. i keep thinking about surgery in my desperate wish to be flat-chested, but..... then i look at what they DO, and.....

back to R&P for a decent bra, i guess. although they're almost as expensive.

Nah, it's not, it's horseshit
My BMI puts me overweight and I've got a body fat percentage of 14%. When my brother was at the height of his rugby career, BMI made him "obese" (6'3" and well over 17 stone) and he had 6% body fat, which is marathon runner territory.

waist size vs height and weight is way more useful, most GPs that aren't idiots use that these days.

I tried to make cake on Monday and I burnt it.
Was very upsetting.

It's a guide nevertheless, and whichever way you dice it if you exceed 35 you really are a fat fuck
