[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You might be surprised at what counts as clinically obese. At 5’8” and age 19, I was borderline clinically obese at 150 pounds. This was taken during a college exercise course. But yes, Americans have a weight problem. [/quote] This is not even close to accurate. I'm also 5'8. At 150 lbs BMI is 22.8, well within the "normal" weight category. To be in the overweight category you'd have to be at least 165, and that's 0.1 into the overweight category. To be in the obese category you'd have to be at least 198 lbs, and again that is 0.1 into the obese category. So basically 50 lbs more than what you said. [/quote] My body fat was measured at 32% at the time. So…clinically obese.[/quote]
