I like moving the little sliders on the side of the body diagram ... lessee, if I grew 2 inches, my BMI would go down by 2 points ...![]()
It's just a guideline, like anything else.
There was a time a year or so ago when my weight according to that site was smack in the middle of the ideal range, and my BMI was 21. Sounds healthy, but friends would come up to me and ask me if I'd been sick and that I was looking gaunt and haggard. Even my GYN told me I could stand to put on a few pounds (words I thought I would never hear, LOL) - she said, "honey, when you get to be our age, it comes off our face first".
So, I obliged and put on a few pounds. And it started creeping up so now I'm on the outer edge of ideal - and more important to me than than weight, my pants are starting to get snug- so I should start watching it again. Self: avoid the donuts at work, you nit.
