Take a moment, enjoy the irony...

Ideally their study would include a group of sedentary people and another group of active people who don't currently do yoga, but it looks like they're just focusing on the former.

You're still better off than someone who's been sedentary, and that's what matters.

Oh the irony! Well, you are proving all those people wrong who think "fat" and "inactive" are mutually exclusive. I gained a bunch on hormone treatment for endometriosis and my stupid GP back home was on me about it. However, my amazing GP here just laughed saying that my chart says I am in great shape.

I may need to "lose" 25 lbs according to my freaking BMI, but even when I was running 5-10 miles a day and a size 0, I was "overweight", so I say screw it!

You just can't win, chann!

How in the world can you be a size "0" and still be overweight?

Zoom-zoom, I'm with you. The more active I am, the more cravings I get, and the easier it is to give myself permission to give in to those cravings. Sure, I can have that chocolate croissant because I just swam a mile. No problem.

Still, I think I'll look into the yoga classes at the Y. I'm already paying for them.

My sister is closer to a 00 and is a real runner and the same GP said she was overweight. I just ignore it. It's because BMI is so screwed up! I say if you are happy and healthy that is all that matters. Sizes are just numbers and if you can swim a mile, you are clearly in better shape than 9/10th of the people I know ("skinny" or not!).

I come from tiny people, so 25 lbs IS a lot to gain when you are 5' even, but I know I am healthy and THAT is what matters.

Have a croissant and enjoy it!
