Height/Weight: BG edition

[Dense]

I'm not sure what posts you've been reading, my whole original post revolved around the fact I was skinny as a twig through most of my life and still considered obese by my BMI measurements (despite never having more than 10-14% body fat).

It's worse right now, my body fat is lower (7%) and my BMI is even higher than it was before. And I'm still relatively thin/lean.

I am the same, my body fat is extremely low (under 4% - but hard to measure) and my BMI has me as very close to being obese - but anyone that looks at me can see that I'm quite clearly very thin with a bit of muscle tone (long distance runner body-style)...

My BMI is 25.1, just a smidge into the overweight section while my Body Fat is around 13~14%. For military PRTs I never have to get rope&choked (meaning by height/weight alone I'm still within military standards), but I would personally consider myself slightly chubby since I tend not to exercise as much as I should.

What is your BMI?

I'm 6'2 181-182.

Only about two weeks to go in Insanity. I've lost about ten pounds since starting and slightly toned up.

"under 4%...with a bit of muscle tone." lol, no.

And nice Achillas. Seems like you're at a great weight for your height now.

well his name is dense, maybe he's registering as obese because he has adamantium-strong bones.

Seriously though Dense - height, weight, pic.

Oh wait it's right here.

Your BMI is 21.2, which is below the mid-point of "normal". You are nowhere near overweight much less obese, no idea wtf you're talking about.

Thank you. I definitely feel better about myself and going to the beach this month.

After the last week, I've fallen to about 178-179. I don't want to really lose anymore.

THIS THREAD IS NEAT

5'10"~5'11"
186.5 lbs (Desired 150~160 range!)
Body fat%: (Male) 17.5% (Female) 19.6%

I started Hormone Replacement Therapy (yay!) almost 2 months ago and have lost 10~ish lbs. Most people gain 10lbs or so, so surely some of it is muscle (hello shrinking trapezius!), but I exercise and watch what I eat (and have been REALLY good since starting HRT, nobody wants to be a fat girl) so there's definite fat burning going on. Listed male and female percentages because of HRT (changes significant, "saddlebag" area has doubled in size lolz) and because my body fat distribution has always been mixed between male and female typical patterns pre-HRT.

It always feels wrong to measure my "man-waist" to determine anything because I have wide hips (bone) and padding to round out the back, where women measure the smallest part of the hourglass as their waist measurement. 40/40/43 gives a much different impression than 40/33/43. Ideal waist/hip ratio for women (0.7) and men (0.9). I'm 0.767, so hopefully I can have some fat redistribute around the middle and have my butt fill out to get a more ideal shape, we'll see!
