Poll: How Healthy Is The Escapist Community??

[Littaly]

I'm pretty sure "muscular" is not a step on the BMI scale

 

[WheresMyCow]

18.7 just barely average.
I've been working out to build up muscle mass so I can donate blood.
But so far it's slow work, over than past year I've gained 5 pounds.

Slightly overweight using that but I'd say I'm a pretty normal size.

Well the BMI is a complete waste of time. My BMI (last time I checked; a while ago) says I'm overweight which is crap as I'm 5'10" and I have a 32" waist. I used to have my BMI call me obese - the height was the same but with a 34" waist. The BMI doesn't take muscle into account - muscle weighs about three times more that fat - so that's why when gymnasts get their BMI results, they are usually Obese; they are short and although skinny, they are very muscly.

I shall point you to the thread http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.126070?page=1 . I really don't need to say anymore

I'm 6 foot and weigh a shade under 200 lbs. So I'm about normal, maybe a little bit of a gut because I like my beer.

 

[T-Blade]

Underweight.

Ha, exactly the same as me.

EDIT:Screw that, I got the weights wrong.

 

[j0z]

gI have no idea my weight, so I guessed, and got an 18.7 Guess I should eat more snacks!

 

[DrDeath3191]

I'm overweight. I like being overweight, though: no need to count the calories quite yet.

 

[Stoic raptor]

im just a little chubby, not really fat. in fact im at the edge of healthy and overweight, technicly im overweight. i have huge manboobs though, i think i have gynocamastia. and im get tired easily, though im doing better, maybe next year i will be super fit.

 

[AlexTheBucket2112]

I'm normal but close to underweight. My metabolism is high.

 

[Azraellod]

actually i was in the hospital recently, so i already know that my bmi says i am underweight.

i already knew this though, and have done for a long time, so it wasn't very informative. i'm built like a skeleton.

 

[esperandote]

I used to be normal now due to sedentarism im overweighted but i'll star to work out again soon

 

[Clashero]

I'm fat, NEXT! And over 53% are normal weight? Liars.

That sounds pretty resentful, doesn't it? The BMI for Normal Weight is very very broad, and it's called "normal" because it's the most common.

 

[Spudgun Man]

I don't know and nor do care, I'm going on a trip to scotland this weekend that will probably shave five years off my life and i'm positivly looking forward to it.

 

[Ginnipe]

I am slightly overweight but the reason being is that im a giant combanation of fat and lot's of muscle.

 

[InvisibleSeal]

I was told I'm muscular - nothing to be prous of, since I just do alot of sports, and other people don't.

BMI is pretty pointless to be honest, since they always have rugby players etc to be overweight. Then again, it would be difficult to do something like a fat percentage thingy at the doctors maybe.

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

Normal weight bordering on underweight...
