fail. if you're at a "proper weight", then you'll have a "proper BMI". BMI has nothing to do with fitness or health, it has to do with fat content. they hardly even do that fat pinching shit anymore, so really it's all about averages now. most places will just look at a chart, comparing your height to your weight and that will give your BMI number. i eat fast food at least 4 times a week for dinner, eat pasta every day for lunch, and hardly exercise. my BMI is 19. i'm no longer fit or healthy, but my BMI is still within normal range, on the very low side at that.
Yeah BMI is kinda bogus anyways unless they are doing the fat pinching thing. Someone who is 5'10 and incredibly muscular and in impeccable shape with no fat on their body will have a higher BMI than somone of the same height who is a scrawny couch potato stringbean.
good enough for me. at our school if you're either at the upper end of the normal range, or in the overweight range, they'll send home a letter to your parents saying that you're fat and need to get in shape. haaahaha.
They never did that to me lol. Funny thing is I'm in better cardio shape than most of my skinny friends and I'm currently 5'9 205 lbs. But to be fair I've lost about 60lbs as of recent which is like taking a small child off my body so that helps because I was in decent cardio shape before I started dieting and now I'm a lot lighter so its even easier to be active. Can't wait till I reach my goal of 160-170 if I feel this good at 205, 170 is gonna be awesome lol.
:smilielol5: from reading your posts skier, you are one healthy ass mother fucker. i don't know where you get the energy, i'm only 16 and i feel burned out all the time (actually not as much now that volleyballs over). i can't imagine how that'll be at age 24 after, hopefully, just completeing 6 years of hard core pharmacy schooling.
I hate how you think 24 is like middle aged or something I feel just as I did back in HS only now I have a car, and freedoms to do whatever the hell I want without parentals bothering me, oh and no homework/school BS. But there's also the annoyance of bills and such but I will take that over the latter any day lol.
Oh and as far as the energy its all about doing healthy activities that you actually love doing for me (obviously based on the general content of my posts) its skiing and biking, if its something you want to do your body just finds the energy.
oh hell no is 24 middle aged. i'm convinced 24-29 will be my golden years. i'll (hopefully) be a pharmacist, makin MAD cash money, hopefully will have a dick in the picture, and i'll be doing what i want when i want. i'll be stress freeeee
if i have kids it has to be with a women with a fast metabolism because my familys metabolism is ridiculously slow
BMI is used to try and figure if your body fat percentage is healthy or not. the BMI system assumes that weight and fat percentage are always connected, which they are not. if I would have simply said: "and just because someone is "skinny" doesn't mean they are, by any means, healthy or fit. you can be at a proper weight, as still be very unhealthy and have a high body fat content" my point would have been made more clearly, i did fail in correct word usage as technically your BMI number is not body fat percentage, but your BMI is supposed to say whether or not your fat content is healthy or not, so its along the same lines
I don't hate fat people, I just think they look disgusting. I could never allow myself to become that size. They have mirrors and brains but apprently not enough pride or self esteem/respect. All this bullshit about thyroid problems etc =/ Do they have that shit in Africa? No. I don't like when they can't take responsability for their gluttony. Proud fat people make me laugh, how can yoube proud of being unhealthy? It's their lives, if they want to eat fast food for every meal then that's their choice but they must accept the consequences and accept that it was their own damn fault. Like i said, i don't hate fat people, only the people that complain they're fat and blame it on something besides themselves. I'll be friends with fat people but i'd never have sex with one. Yuck.
what's really fucked up is the fat people who get disability for being fat. i used to work for people doing grocery shopping, running errands, cleaning, etc...and this one lady really pissed me off. here she is, 300 pounds (not even morbidly obese, just very overweight) and she was convinced that she couldn't do anything. she used a wheel chair to get around, even though she could walk if she wanted too (i had seen her walk short distances). anyway, i would take her to go grocery shopping, and of course, she had the handicap plates so she could park 10 ft from the store entrance. then when she got in, she got in one of those "lark" things (the motorized shopping carts) and rode around. so what was my purpose? to grab things off the shelf for her. i also cleaned their *disgusting* house, because she had taught her teenage daughter (who was not overweight at all) to also be lazy and not clean up anything. she was so fucking lazy. all she needed was exercise, but she refused to do any of any sort. she was 47 years old, and will probably be dead long before she should be. it's really sad. fat people need to help themselves. exercise is free! get off your fat ass!
i don't like fat people who complain about being fat. i don't like fat people who are disgusting to look at. i don't like fat people who look like they smeared oil all over themselves it's fine to be fat, if you are fit, and clean. IMO. i am 14 years old, 6 foot 2 inches, 180 pounds. i am not thin, nor am i fat. i am pretty athletic/strong. i used to be fat, i never complained, was self concious or anything.
If people want to be fat, that's fine...but it doesn't change that it is gross...it's a body mutilation, really...one that everyone can see, and sometimes smell. blech
