What about midgets? This chart is heightist!

5'7 @ 160 lbs so...overweight?
I honestly lift though, and will bulk to 170.

>>4887641
I should mention that's not me, just a goal body

it says im overweight. but overweight for what? im 5'11.999". i weigh about 190 united states pounds.

5'8 - 130

About 20.

23, but I'm out of shape. I know a couple 39s who can run circles around me.
Technician (me) strong hands, little in the way of strenuous cardio type work.
Roofer (other guy), tough as nails, harder than the hammer he wields.

Chart is full of shit I think. Unrealistic labeling.

Apparently I'm no longer morbidly obese due to that chart.

Oh wow, and I'm in the middle of obese.

>>4887641
work your mind kid. youll be just another lame dick asshole if you continue like that

>>4887660
It's for weight, not to evaluate your cardiovascular system, dipshit.

>>4887660
You can be a skinny weakling. There's no reason to assume fat people aren't strong. They're just fat. You can be lean or fat and be strong. You can be lean or fat and be weak.

I'm overweight. 5'10 and 185 pounds. My goal is to hit 170 by new years, I think I can. In March this year I weighed 240. Feels good that I saved all these awesome clothes I used to wear, now I can wear them again and everybody thinks they're new.

>>4887636

5'7 153-160 range on average, pear shaped like my Mom. I'll need to work out more- my diet's good, though. No fast foods, low sugar and oil intake, don't eat a lot of red meat. I just need to get on the treadmill more often or risk having a huge ass for the rest of my days.

>>4887665
so around 300 pounds?brotha i woulda take you to the bar, and feed you tacos. and do my best to get you laid. i suck at life though

>>4887679
6'1 at 250lbs.

Used to be around 270 of pure fat, now it's a mixture of muscle and fat.

>do my best to get you laid
I'd help you, it's fucking easy.

My BMI is 22. I'm in really good shape, work a moderately physical job and spend a lot of time riding bikes and sometimes hiking when I'm not at work. I come to /ck/ because I have the appetite of a smallish horse, I buy my oatz in 50 lb. sacks.

I don't trust any chef with a BMI less than 30.

>>4887683
fuck i love confidence. im literally dipping turkey pepperoni slices in a mayonaise jar.

39, down from 41 6 months ago.

Aiming to get under the 200 lbs line for spring.

BMI 42. It's pretty bad.

>>4887636
I'm taller than the chart but two inches below me I would be at Overweight.
Strange considering my body fat is 10%

>>4887691
"Never trust a skinny chef" makes no sense, have you ever seen how people get fat? They shove sugar and fat into their mouths all day long with absolutely no discretion.

>>4887703
You're just a skinny chef who can't cook.

>>4887666
What do you mean by "continue like that"

>>4887707
+1 I bet he/she is a paleo raw foods vegan hipster.

5'5 ish. I weigh around 135, so I'm "average". Last time I checked, I weighed 131 which makes sense given that I started cooking for myself instead of eating dorm food, but my weight tends to fluctuate quite a bit, so I'll go with 135.

>not reading his follow up post

Pretty proud to be between 22 and 23 as a middle aged man. I'm 45 and pretty 25 year old girl hit on me last night. Life is good.

"Normal"... somehow.

I'd still like to be skinnier. I used to be a true 30" waist, now I've got a little bit of jiggle when I move wrong.

Height vs weight is retarded. I'm stronger and smaller than almost everyone I know and yet I fit in the middle of normal, but still have fat reserves.

23 with visible abs.

Calisthenics ftw. Not a meathead, nor a twig.

BMI is useless, but 5'10" 170 right now, so between 24 and 25, straddling "normal" and "overweight." I was just over 200 a few years ago. Currently I'm losing weight at a rate of 2 lbs/week. I'll probably stop around 155 or so and then maybe bulk back to 170 if I spring for a gym membership.

hnh
my BMI is 18,4
it's also not on the list

>>4887867
Are you fat where you are? I'm 5'10 and 170 is my goal. Its also the lowest I've ever gotten down to, and that was through damn near starving myself and running an hour a day. I was told I looked great at that weight and got laid alot, just wondering if I was fatter than I thought I was. Been obese my entire life, I thought I was the shit when I hit 170.

>>4887709

Between 19 and 20, I'm a 5'7 manlet.

170, so normal.

>>4887887

I definitely still have some body fat but I think I look pretty good right now. Thing about losing weight like that, you find a lot of muscle under your fat since you had to work at moving all the blubber around. I can't say anything about getting laid since I'm engaged and get that shit on the reg.

About 23.

>>4887636
Hmm according to this char I was extremely obese a week ago.. Now's I'm just obese. One day at a time.. :)

5'8", 125 lbs.
Body fat: 7.5%.
BMI: 19.

5'10 - 5'11-ish. 170 pounds.

Basically straddling the normal/overweight line. Ah well.

5'9, 125 lbs. BMI 18.5.

>>4887669
Or you can weight half a tonne, and still have very little fat. Being a specific weight and height doesn't make you obese. By this chart, all weightlifters and body builders are obese.

>>4887636
6'1", 219 lbs.
Only overweight now!

5'10"
200lbs
BMI: 28.5?

I weighed the same when I was in the marine corps and my body fat was around 12%. Now I would say my body fat is 20%. I am definitely overweight now (people always tell me I am not fat, but based on what I used to look like I definitely am), but if you have some noticeable muscle BMI is a bullshit indicator.

>>4887980

Good job! Just keep in mind that the lighter you get, the harder it will be to lose weight. Don't give up!

Somewhere between 22 and 23.

>>4888200
How does this happen, by the way?
Were you born predisposed to this, or was it diet and lack of exercise that got you there?

6'1 208, so around 27. I'm cutting down to ~195 which will technically still be overweight but i'll be at around 13% bodyfat so I don't give a fuck.

>>4887636
using a random chart to calculate BMI is unreliable, i'd prefer an actual test administered by someone who knew how

>>4888189
I suppose I am pretty thin, not through any real deliberate action of my own though - I eat like a horse, but pretty /fit/ food - eggs, oatz, banana, rocket, etc. Gym erryday, but not obsessively; half cardio half weights. I find it difficult to understand how people get so overweight when it takes a concentrated effort for me to maintain a healthy weight (as in weigh enough)
Must be a family thing; my mother and grandmother both have to intermittently go on this weird calorific energy shake consumption in order to maintain enough weight. They're still skeletonmode tho

>>4888209
BMI is only dependent on height and weight though, what the fuck?

>>4888215
*consumption program

BMI at 28 right now. I was at about 31 a few months ago. I have another 25-30lbs to lose but it's been super slow lately.

I just wish I could drop those pounds quickly, the first 25 pounds was easy to lose but ever since then its been pretty much standstill.

5'11", 105lbs.

Pretty much skeleton mode. I'm not even on that chart.

>>4888211
latter, my childhood involved 0 discipline or formation of good and healthy eating habits.

>>4887639
It adjusts for height.

>>4888215
It's because you work out every day and don't eat shitty food.
It's really easy to get huge calorie surpluses if you eat, say, dessert food. It's how I got fat, I think.
Doing daily exercise raises your daily calories-needed-to-maintain weight by several hundred calories over someone who is sedentary, but these sedentary people eat more than you do.

>>4888235
I had a pretty danged fattening childhood to early adulthood (tons of dairy, cheese, carbs everywhere, dessert often, little vegetables) but I never even managed to get into the obese category despite never exercising regularly in my whole life thusfar.

Im curious to see what a 4'10 258lb look like.

>>4888231
How are you alive?
I'm 6'0 ~132 lbs and I'm skinny as shit

Not on the chart, too underweight.

The person who dreamed up the BMI said explicitly that it could not and should not be used to indicate the level of fatness in an individual.

The BMI was introduced in the early 19th century by a Belgian named Lambert Adolphe Jacques Quetelet. He was a mathematician, not a physician. He produced the formula to give a quick and easy way to measure the degree of obesity of the general population to assist the government in allocating resources. In other words, it is a 200-year-old hack.

I'm 5'11", 180 lbs, workout 4-5 days a week, have visible man lines, yet, I'm supposedly overweight. Only idiots believe this shit. Also Obamacare

bmi is fucking bullshit though

>>4888231
Holy shit.

I'm 5'9" and 105lbs. I have numerous health issues that cause my weight loss. are u dying too?

>>4888301
>Please no bullshit answers like you're a body builder or you're big boned.

Also, body builders are not normal and have excess body mass (in the form of muscles)

>>4888313
>>4888271

Yeah I pretty much almost died from a crohns disease flare-up. I'm in a stable condition now, I just can't get any weight back on.
It does hurt to live, though.

>>4888322
I'm having trouble with weight gain. Got my own issues; can't imagine Crohns.

Been seeing a nutritionist. I'm eating normal foods but trying to eat at least every 3 hrs.. Adding in things like table spoon of olive oil to my food. Smoothies. Not allowed to drink water, only things with calories.

>>4888321

Don't have to be a body builder to have a modicum of muscle. DYEL

23 BMI. I am 5'11 and 161lbs. Five months ago I was 200lbs, which put me at 27 BMI.

I feel so much fucking better. I did with a 100% plant based diet. I drink no calories (only water). And I did it all without exercise. It really is true what they say. Losing weight is almost 90% about what you eat. You don't really need to do shit besides eat right. And in most American's cases, that means no bread, no fried foods, no fast food, and no soda. Eat nothing but raw fruits and veegtables for four months and you can get out of your rut. You're gonna like the way you look, I guarantee it.

>>4888680

but you're overweight bro. Obese actually. Unless you;re the statistical rarity. Are you body builder mode? If not, you gotta lose that weight bro. Quit fooling yourself.

There's a lot "know it alls" that think the BMI is flawed, but they're mostly retarded. BMI is a very good tool to measure overall health.

Lose that weight. Make your heart work less. Live longer.

>>4888684
I suppose you're right.
The whole BMI thing does feel a bit flawed though, as it's not like I'm a walking piece of lard.
This is a pic from this summer, just to give an indication.

But he's really not fine. He's obese. Check out this transformation. I was nearing obesity. People think it has to be obvious, but sometimes it's hard to tell. Doesn't mean you're not obese/overweight though

pic related: me. I've lost 13lbs since then. Need to take a new one.

I don't think I'm that fat though ;_;

>>4888719
y-you too

>>4888726
Yeah, you're right dude, I definitely need to lose some weight. I just don't feel like I've reached the whole mega-obesity level, which my BMI might suggest.

>>4888736

you look good, but if you got to 180, you'd be god-tier. More muscles would show. You wouldn't have to suck in either.

>>4888744
180 sounds impossible. I will be cutting to around 195 though so I'll see what I look like when I get there.

below normal.

5'10" 125lbs

however, I must point out that BMI is only useful in sedentary people. If you work out, this chart is not all that helpful (muscular and athletic men in particular will generally come up as being overweight or obese)

>>4888748

You'll love it and you'll want more. 190's would be a good start for sure. Good luck man.

I recommend activating ketosis to lose weight, but that's just me. I lost 4lbs a week through ketosis. Make your body run on lipids instead of carbs.

You don't need to be 6% bf and have huge muscles for BMI to not work. Even guys at 18% bf (which is still well within healthy range) get marked as obese if they do any kind of sport.

I used to overweight, teetering on obese. I lost 40lbs and now I'm in the healthy bmi

>>4888882
If you consider 18% bf fat, then yeah I'm a lardass. I also bench my bodyweight and play tennis though so there's that.

>>4888882
/fit/ thinks BMI is bullshit and I'd like to see you call some of those fuckers fat fucks.

>>4888890

/fit/ also uses roids and they body build. That's when BMI breaks down. For people who do nothing but train muscles... Yeah, BMI is gonna fail. But for the majority of Americans, BMI is a great tool to measure health.

19. not because i work out or eat carefully but just because i'm lucky.

at around 20.5
just because I don't eat like a fatass.

>they can't even make up their mind on where the overweight/obese lines should go

>>4888903

yeah. what a kawinky dink that every lardo I see has a high bmi and every skinny person I see has a healthy bmi. Strange.

The only time I see it fail is with extreme body types. Heavy muscle types.

>>4888769
Here is a guy with a BMI of 33...and a mere 13% bodyfat.

Waist measurement/height ratio is actually a better indication of obesity than BMI.

>>4888920

shaq is fat. Hate to tell you that.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18359190

"BMI is particularly inaccurate for people who are fit or athletic, as the higher muscle mass tends to put them in the overweight category by BMI, even though their body fat percentages frequently fall in the 10–15% category, which is below that of a more sedentary person of average build who has a normal BMI number. Body composition for athletes is often better calculated using measures of body fat, as determined by such techniques as skinfold measurements or underwater weighing and the limitations of manual measurement have also led to new, alternative methods to measure obesity, such as the body volume index."

In fact the man that popularized the 'Body Mass Index' specifically said that it is inappropriate for individual diagnosis.

Which is true.

>>4888934

I'll take it.

BMI of 25. Seems right. Trying to bring it down though.

>>4888028
I'm pretty sure this chart is assuming the muscle mass of a normal person - it's just meant to be a rough guide for the average person of that height and weight. So the bodybuilder thing doesn't really apply here.

BMI is 25 so according to the chart, I'm overweight.

>>4889610
Also 27, not that it makes a difference on that chart.

>>4887636
This BMI chart is inaccurate. It assumes everybody has the same body type. For example: I'm 6'1" and weigh 223 pounds. According to this chart my BMI would be between 29-30%. Which is wrong. My actual BMI is 27%. The real way is to measure around your waist around the navel (make sure the tape is even) and remember that number (mine is 42.25") Then you measure your neck around under your Adam's apple (mine is 17") then you enter your stats into the formula which would give you your bmi (fuck remembering the formula use this: http://www.calculator.net/army-body-fat-calculator.html))

tl;dr
Take bmi based on weight with a grain of salt

I'm too short to get on the chart

I'm so skinny that my weight isn't even on the chart for my height.

According to this shit i'm Normal but i'm actually fat as fuck.

>>4887675
>or risk having a huge ass for the rest of my days
Honey Men love the booty, as long as your waist is thinner(you can use a custom-made corset to help out if you don't- inb4 they're dangerous, that's tight lacing, and even when corsets were in vogue they advised against it) and you've got thick thighs and ass you're good.

My body is like that, but I've lost about 10 pounds since deciding to put a limit on how much I allow myself to drive since gas is to expensive here

>>4890455
Listen to this person... having a really nice butt will be great even if your boobs aren't very great. Despite having D cup boobs I have a REALLY flat ass (so much that it hurts to sit in hard chairs) and I just look really disproportionate and weird. Believe me, I would give anything to have a really nice ass. No amount of squats can help me unfortunately.

>>4890424

>i'm so skinny blah blah blah my weight isnt even on the chart.

>weight starts at 91 on the chart.

Enjoy that "running."

Pic is a British prisoner of the japs during WWII. I wonder if he enjoyed "running."

By the way, on that bullshit graph I show up as normal. Being realistic, I'm sure it won't last forever, I sit behind a desk too much.

19

I don't work out at all, and I'm somewhere between 21 and 22.

yay

>>4890486
I was the same way. My mom had a flat butt and I had the same thing. As weird as sounds, visualizing helps. I would work out every part of my body other than my thighs and butt and take in extra calories. As I was eating and for half an hour before bed, I would imagine little fat cells moving from various parts of my body down to my butt. It took about 2 months of this before my friends started noticing, My butt isn't perfect, but it's definitely not considered flat by any means.

>>4890513
Taking in extra calories is going to be difficult but I wil do the vizualizing thing... yes, it does sound weird but anything to get a bigger butt is fine with me.
Oddly, my mom has a great butt... in fact all of the females in my family have nice butts. Why the fuck I don't is beyond me.

I'm 5'6 and have BMI 23. Working on getting down to 22 though.

24.. I used to be 18. fuck.

19.
feels healthy man

21.

5'2" and 115 pounds.

19, usually, I've literally fallen off the charts lately, should be at 18 since I've lost some weight.

36, and due to fat, not muscle. I need to go on a diet.

26.
Not ideal, but not something that's likely to kill me. I eat healthy, but it's just beer that really adds the pounds.

wtf, 144 lbs for 6'1. Fat fucks. I weigh 118.

on the bottom edge of 19, I feel like I should start working out.

6'22-170lbs, just under 22

I'm fairly skinny, but overall look healthily normal. I have a big appetite, and have to work out to keep weight on. I used to be 180, but haven't been lifting the past few years much and lost some weight.

I still don't know how I never put on weight, i'm into my 20s now and still eat like a teenager.

i'm going to go make a sandwich i guess

17 or 18 I'd assume, too lazy to look up a chart that shows the underweight range, but I'm pretty close to "normal", whatever that means.

BMI doesn't mean jack shit though because it does not account for muscle weight.

Anyone got a chart in standard units?

>>4893274
unless you regularly lift weights or train for a sport, then it is accurate.

>>4887636

Borderline overweight.

No big deal, I'll just eat less calories than I burn.

What is wrong with you?

6 ft 187
Shit, I haven't weighed myself in like 6 months
I used to be around 150 or 160 but I've been living an extremely sedentary life style the last several months
Time to go back to at least doing a daily walk I guess

127 lbs

I way 12 lbs lighter than I should. go me.

6'3" and around 160. I used to be in the 140-150 range, but I've gained weight and am no longer underweight. Feels good man, now I just need to work out a bit and get a bit more shapely.

5'10, 110lbs.
Not on the chart, no medical problems, and I eat plenty.

So, 17? 16?

23 BMI reporting in.

Also I read somewhere folks who are slightly overweight have longer lifespans on average than normal folks. The little bit of extra fat helps to deal with stress.

5 ft 5, BMI 24, borderline overweight
I don't really look that fat tho :|

But christ gimmie a girl who's over 120 pounds, walking skeletons, the lot of them.

19 bmi master race i'm going to live forever

My BMI is 19. I just eat fruits, vegetables and nut occasionally.

>>4895036
Whose nut do you eat?

Around 24-25. 6'2 and around 190lb I'm guessing.

Just getting into overweight.

I lift at least 3x/week plus cardio.

>>4895040

He eats fruits and vegetables, and occasionally he nuts.

BMI is a horrible scale of healthiness and needs to die. You say building muscle is a bullshit answer, how in the fuck is it bullshit? Most of us classify as very overweight, and some even slightly obese according to it.

You need to get a real body fat rating, by someone that knows what they're doing.

>>4895134
>implying /ck/ and most people lift

The chart is OK for people who don't lift obsessively and maybe do some pushups or crunches on the side. If you are actually lifting and building muscle mass then the chart doesn't work for you. And if you have enormous glorious tits then that probably throws it off. For regular folk though its fairly accurate.

404 Master race!

What happens to my health?
it 404'd

>167 lbs
No fucking way thats "normal" for my height. I would be emaciated. I was 180 in high school and skinny as shit.

5'11, just under 180.

I lift every day and have a 32" inch waist and a resting heart rate of 52bpm so I'm pretty happy with where I am.

26. Although I did 13 consecutive chin-ups yesterday, so I doubt that I'm that "obese."

>fuck you if you don't believe me
>I don't care

>normal
>i'm actually chubby as fuck

I never understood this all anyways.

17.6 apparently but I think my weight is 3kg higher than the scales say

>>4896055
You're skinnyfat, i.e. total lack of muscle definition, yet still quite a bit of fat.

67.6 according to http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/obesity/BMI/bmicalc.htm

6'7" 600 lbs Man-mountain reporting in.

>>4896038
I'm sorry, but your body fat is totally unrelated to how many chin ups you can do.

Wow I was overweight at one point? I was 168 a few months ago but I'm down to 155 now. 5'8"

I don't think anyone would have said I was anything but skinny. I'm lanky as fuck.

5'10-5'11 and 130-140 lbs and this chart says I'm normal. Thats why people get fat, I need to lose weight and people fatter than me are gonna think they are ok because some chart says they are in the green

In >>4895040 mom

getrekt

25 I think. Just need rid of my stubborn love handles, really.

Guy, I'm... not even on the chart...

>tfw nuclear level metabolism

Not sure what this chart means.. Were talking about societies view of what overweight is.. There is nothing else involved.. There are alot of variables involved wether someone is male or female or how much muscle they have on them.. those variables would skew any meaning this chart would have.

This looks like a chart for women or gays because for a guy to be 5'9-6'0 and have 162-172 the utmost range for normal is total bullshit.. you would have to have no muscle on you and you would look like a fucking twink. and 125 wtf for a guy 5'9.. you would look like fucking ghandi.. if you had muscle on you, you would have below 3 percent body fat..

Also these stats literally have no meaning.. they indicate nothing scientific or significant.

Underweight enough that I'm not on the pic

>>4900136
nah bro
this is applied in clinical settings
BMI is very useful and accurate in sedentary people
obviously bf% is the most accurate measure, but for a quick and dirty tool, as well as a good population assessor, you can't go wrong with BMI

BMI is bullshit as it doesn't account for bodyfat% or LBM.

>>4899648
I fucking hate people like you, born with a gift like that.

Shouldn't this be on /fit/?

21 BMI up from 19, 8 months ago

19.6 bmi, I should start eating healthier though

>>4887636
I'm 6 foot 5, 190-200 lbs and I weight lift.

>tfw have to lose 15 more pounds to be in the upper "normal" tier

Why is it the more weight you lose the harder it is to lose more? I've lost 55 pounds this year, the first 30 or so weren't hard to lose at all. Losing like 5 pounds a week and shit. Now I'm doing good if I lose 1 pound a week.

>>4887636

I am 6'1 and underweight thanks to an extremely fast metabolism. But that's just the way I'm built due to genetic problems.

Goddammit, I've lost a bit of weight these last months and I thought I was back in normal range.

Indeed! 6'8" here..
I'm 190 lb...
Dunno what that makes out for

>>4888301

Human beings aren't supposed to be big muscley faggots that strain their body all day every day by picking up weights and putting them back down. Whether you're big because of fat or because of muscle, you're overweight, and neither style of obesity is healthy.

>>4887636

I'm 6'4'' and 215 lb, so on the low side of overweight. But I don't look fat, or even skinny fat.

Honestly it says that 156/164 is healthy for my height but I don't know if I believe that. honestly if I lost 50+ pounds it would literally be a complete loss of all muscle tone.

>>4907309
