Good advice, but you should take it yourself. Your exaggerated concern with weight and body shape suggest that you would do well to look into therapy.

I agree. You may be buff, but you are judgmental and awful. Go do something about your mental health.

Why all the drama on this thread?

It is the insecurity of women who are overweight or obese that is surfacing. It happens every time when weight is discussed. If these people would just eat sensibly, not stuff themselves with food and be more active they would not have to be sensitive about their weight. No one needs to be rail thin but maintaining a healthy weight is entirely achievable unless one has a medical issue.

Um, my body fat was 26 and I had a BMI of 29. It's not that I am obese, it's just that I prefer science to stupidity, especially when people try to make other people feel bad for no reason.

My BMI has gone from around 18 to like 22.5 and it's a hard adjustment... but you shouldn't beat yourself up. 24BMI is hardly "fat"..

Riiight. You keep telling yourself that, and bad health won't be far behind.

Please. Let's see- for ANY age range a 24 BMI is not considered fat.

Sit down with your petty attempts to body shame.

Oh I know, I know. But it's getting close, so unless you are an athlete, I would watch my fitness and nutrition habits if I were you.
Not trying to body-shame either - I just get concerned that so many people are oblivious to their own *shape*, not weight, and defend it with these BMI numbers that are actually pretty meaningless because they do not take body composition into account. For example, if you have a wide circumference around the waist compared to your hip circumference, that drastically increases your heart disease risk. BMI doesn't give you that kind of insight, and treats a muscular bony athlete and a rotund fine-boned sedentary person exactly the same. You'll agree their health risks are different.

Hmmmm. Your point might make sense if you were pointing out that BMI does not mean a lot because it doesnt take body composition into account. Which is why a lot of athletes might show up as being fat. But instead, you tried to body shame. Which is kind of ridiculous considering you have no clue as to my or OP's physical fitness level.

So like I said... take a seat.

Goodness, the fact that you and PP are so touchy about my choice of words demonstrates that you are not totally comfortable with your body. Instead of parsing my words, do something to better your health, then!

I apologize if my bluntness offends you. But I stand by what I said, namely, that most people have a completely skewed sense of self and hold on to numbers which do not necessarily apply to them. I wish people did not use BMI, actually.

NP here. You were being obnoxious and got called out for it. Own your faults.

A BMI of 29 is within a hairsbreadth of being obese. It would be delusional to think otherwise.
