[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid's BMI is in the 99th percentile rank, which is classified as obese. They have done studies that show most parents if overweight kids don't think their kids are overweight.  You really should get a referral to a nutritionist.[/quote]

This.  OP use the calculator on webmd and read the results.  They aren't great and explain your doctors concern.  http://www.webmd.com/parenting/raising-fit-kids/weight/bmi/bmi-calculator[/quote]

I just plugged my DS info on this calculator and he's considered obese on it.  He's extremely tall and lean - you can see his ribs and hip bones poking out.  He towers above kids several years older than he is.  I brothers who are over 6'8" and they are extremely skinny.

These BMI calculators are obviously missing something!![/quote]

Or maybe you typed in the numbers wrong. [/quote]

Nope.  Definitely didn't type in the numbers wrong.  BMI is a very flawed system of measurement.[/quote]

[b]Agree, my BMI actually increased after I lost 40 lbs. [/b]I don't trust it at all. [/quote]

If your height didn't change, then I think you did the math wrong. It's a really simple formula.
