[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thats ridiculous. Im 5'4" and 150 lbs. i would like to get to 142 or so. But thats it. No dr has ever told me to lose weight at my stats. [/quote]

Doctors rarely tell people to lose weight.

IMO you are fat, unless you are a body builder. Sorry.[/quote]

IMO, you are rude and a jerk. One of those "sorry not sorry" people who think they're just spitting facts, the hard truth, tough love. In reality, you are accomplishing nothing but showing your own ignorance.

OP...I would not try to lose weight as a goal. Look at your diet, see if there are places you can clean it up and add more nutrition. Look at your activity, and see if it can use a boost, esp in strength training.
And then go about your life because you are healthy and anyone who still thinks BMI is any indicator of anything is uninformed.

For anyone worried,  waist circumference is a much better indicator of health than BMI.
Our research shows that a waistline of more than 94cm for men and 80cm for women increases the risk for some types of cancer, while a waistline of more than 102cm for men and[b] 88cm for women (34 inches) [/b]greatly increases your risk.

Many people measure their waist incorrectly (in the wrong spot), or rely on their belt or trouser size, which is often inaccurate. For an accurate waist measurement make sure you:

measure directly over your skin or no more than one item of light clothing
take the measurement after breathing out normally
have the tape measure fitting snug, but not compressing the skin
measure at the halfway point between your lowest rib and the top of your hipbone. This will be roughly in-line with your belly button.[/quote]
