LOL! I think I'm carrying butt and thigh twins.Originally Posted by OakLeaf
Personally I don't have trouble losing waist fat, it's my thighs. Maybe I'm thigh-pregnant.

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

A guy referred to me at our weekend ride, saying it was no wonder I could outride the guys on a climb being such a "small woman".
I'm 5'4'' and weight 140 pounds, still struggling to get into an acceptable BMI range...

All of my weight is pretty much in my belly...don't have a butt - never did even when I weight 80 pounds more than I do now! My girls don't seem to change much though, that is the second to the last place where I loose weight My thighs and calves are larger than they've ever been - but they look a lot better than they used to!

How is 5'4" and 140 not in an acceptable BMI range? I wouldn't put much stock in BMI anyway: according to that metric, most athletes are obese. Originally Posted by Susan

I had my annual appt last week. And my doc, who is very blunt and has terrible bedside manners (one of the reasons I love her) actually approved of my weight! She looked at my height, my weight and said "technically, you are over a healthy BMI. But, I can look at you and see that you are very fit--it's one of those rare times I throw out the bmi. Good work."
She's an athlete too.

Oh, you are right, I didn't do the math properly going from metric to your standard measures. 5'4'' and 140 is in an acceptable BMI range, but my BMI is 26. Originally Posted by blue_angel

A woman on another board has won many competitions in the dead lift. She is solid muscle, but her BMI shows her as obese. For that reason, she's unable to get life insurance. Crazy.
