 Ahem..

Do you consider yourself overweight? Well since weight is such an issue these days, and the media being the way it is, I thought I'd post this... For, the sake of knowing.
I've come across a neat little calculator which tells you specifically if you are under-weight *points at windy*^_^, a healthy weight, over-weight or obese.

Now.. This is figured out by a combination of your height and weight. The number you get after checking this is called your Body Mass Index, or BMI. If you have a BMI of 25 - 29, you are considered over-weight. If your BMI is over thirty, you are obese. Post your BMI here, and tell us how you did on the chart!

My BMI was 18.5  :P  and I was considered a healthy weight.

 Body fat percentage is an actual determiner of if you are unhealthy. i could have a lot of weight just because i'm a muscular heavy-set short guy and i'd be perfectly healthy.

although i'm not musculer at all...

anyways, this should be in the polling section *moves*


... wait a tick...


... i can't move stuff......


....  :ph34r:

 or you could just be a really fat guy.

But I don't know because you didn't post your BMI!

but really, this is just an estimation... the muscular people are excused.

 Thats because i don't believe in BMI's!!

plus, i already know i'm overweight!

I'll post my BM though.
it was a healthy BM:

Texture: dense, but came out nicely.
Timing: I was in and out in less then 5
thanks to the bran i had for breakfast, there was little struggle.
