[quote=Anonymous]If you’re an athlete or lift a lot of weights, your BMI is meaningless. Also, some people have a larger frame or larger chest which adds weight. If you like the way you look and your doctor says you’re otherwise healthy, don’t focus on this one number. There are always posters who chime in that they are 5’6 and 115 (or less). That’s not healthy. I have friends like this and they don’t look healthy at all. My daughter has similar stats and while it’s ok as a teen. her doctor is concerned about her diet because she doesn’t want her to lose any weight. As a matter of fact, her doctor has emphasized that being thin doesn’t equal healthy and she needs to eat more nourishing foods and increase her fitness level. [/quote]
