Jelly, your BMI is 21.
An "overweight" person's BMI (according to the American Obesity Association) is 25-29.

, mine's a 22, and I'm borderline skinny.
That is not fat. I'm an inch shorter than you and wore a size 3-5 at that weight.

That would put her BMI(Body Mass Index) at 21.5, which is in the normal range.
For 5'4, you would have to be at 146 punds to be overweight
well, thanks guys. perhaps "fat" is a strong word, but I'd say I'm definitely carrying 10 lbs too many. but enough about me
Don't rely on a scale number. It's just a number.well, thanks guys. perhaps "fat" is a strong word, but I'd say I'm definitely carrying 10 lbs too many. but enough about me
Hit the weights. Best thing you can do to change your shape. And no, you won't get bulky.
But if Jelly did get "bulky" then she could make bank being one of the Dove models.
BMI is a joke, it's not any more useful than weight guidelines.
A woman with an extremely slight frame could be overweight at 5'-4" & 125. A woman with a larger frame could be "underweight" at the same figures. They are only guidelines, and pretty sorry ones at that.
True dat, my friend.
lifting weights is fun.
stress reducing, and it makes you feel powerfull.
remeber: muscle weighs more than fat. stop getting on the scale.
No, just heavy.
Yeah, which is why when Leticia VanDePuke wanted to make that reportable on report cards I got just a tad bit pissed. I still hate her.
Don't forget ObiwanGinobili, your black bar probably adds 5lbs alone!
FYI, Mike Tyson in his prime was considered clinically obese according to that scale.
and I hold that thing up with just my s!Don't forget ObiwanGinobili, your black bar probably adds 5lbs alone!

Really?and I hold that thing up with just my s!

I thought you did it with the JLo double sided sticky tape.
According to the BMI My 5'4 165 husband is overweight with a BMI of 28.3.
and yet I can barely find enough body fat on him to pinch between 2 fingers.
and believe me, I've tried. Nothing on him jiggles.
the BMI calcualtor gives me a BMI of 24.2 - just inside normal. But being preggo i'm definatly a bit larger than normal.
so the BMI is a worthless piece o' crap.

Oh no. thats for cheaters.
I no longer own a scale and have never been happier.
How about that.
Color me impressed
The only thing the wife could do with hers was rest a Diet Coke on one after she delivered our son and they went way out of control.
Last time I had my bodyfat measured (some years ago), it was at 21.8. I weighed 140 then. Now, if somebody looked at the numbers - 140 lbs at 5'4" - they would have assumed I was fat. That's actually a healthy weight for me (heaven help me get back there soon
Regardless of the flaws of BMI, it's fairly certain that someone with a 21 BMI is not overweight. You can be out of shape, but not overweight. BMI typically OVER-measures obesity.
I loved getting my milatary id. and drivers liscense.
With those, you can put down whatever weight you want and no one challenges you on it.
No clerk would dare be that politically incorrect. = ) I win on a technicality. = )
Hehehe! Mind over matter, baby!
So, how many lbs did you shave off for your ID?
I liked getting my Texas Driver's License even better. They don't ask.
