I find this whole B.M.I scenario hilarious - I have just been weighed and told that I am unhealthily overweight.

I weigh 16 Stone.

Now, what I find the most comical about this is that, according to the little slip I was handed, my Ideal weight should be between; 9ST 10.6lb and 13St 1.8lb. So the average of that would be approx 11.5 Stone.

From my Early 20's all the way through to my mid 30's I weighed, ironically, 11 stone and I was constantly told by my Doctor to put weight on as I was seriously underweight for my Height etc etc and should weigh at least 13 Stone. If I did weigh 9st 10.6lb I would in fact be nothing more than a "Bag of Bones" as my Mother would say (She used to call me that when I weighed 11St !!)

Now, as well as very confused, I am apparently Obese ..........

Thank you for reminding me about being overweight.

I think it's just over 100 kilo's Jürgen.

I was told the same by my Doctor today. First time in 4 years! Nothing wrong, just keeping the wife up with me snoring

I'm 13 Stone, I will admit, I have put on a bit, Not as active as I was a couple of years ago.

My Idea weight is 11st 7lbs (73kilos)

Told to Quit Smoking, Quit Drinking, Quit Sugar from Coffee and cut down on the amount I eat!!!

Well time for a lifestyle change then eh!!!

Most Welcome Sir

What gets me ablout all this "Overweight Hype"

If you went to the Gym

And Bulked up, You'd weigh more, but with less fat!!

I was told that for my height 5' 7" at 13 st I'm overweight.

But they don't ask your build!!

I just think the Quacks are trying to give everyone a complex

Next time we all meet up we'll all look like we're getting ready to walk down a catwalk

Talking of Weighing in.

I'm Starving, I could eat a Scabby Horse

I have also had this 'diagnosis' from my witch, sorry medical doctor. He says I drink too much, I say it is just the metal leeching into my body from the cans of beer that I drink.......

I suppose it'll keep me regular

I have been through this with my Dr too.

I am 5'6 and apparently I should weigh between 8 1/2 Stones (54Kg) and 11 Stone (74Kg) - quite a wide margin there.

However, the last time I weighed anywhere near 11 Stone was when I was at Uni, walking approx 4 miles per day, swimming 2 -3 times a week, Rugby training once a week plus a match etc.

My Dr, however, has never asked me to lose weight, which according to the BMI tables has me as overweight and not far off obese.
