In the last months, I have lost 85 pounds and am continuing to lose through a medically-supervised weight loss program. I have discussed BMI with my health educator and doctors.
The body mass index originated in 1835 by a Belgian researcher who created it as a method to calculate body volume. http://www.mybodymassindex.com/articles_bmiorigins.html
They had no idea how to measure body fat back then. BMI has since been replaced by Body Fat Percentage. BMI goals actually cause very unhealthy side effects.
In fact, if I were to be able to drop to 0 % (that is zero percent) body fat, I'd still have to lose another 15 pounds of lean body mass (that is muscale and bone) in order to get down to a 30 BMI.
This BMI miscalculation happens for a large percent of the American population.
I urge anyone worried about their weight to research Body Fat Percentage to find their healthy size.
BTW: Faye is the absolutely sexiest character ever. OMG, I'm lusting over a cartoon character! :oops:

But, strangely enough, that's what most boarders in this subforum use it for. Ho hum.

At least in this thread, it's a bunch of people talking about how Faye is a sexy person because she isn't the skinny little thing that everyone else is. People could be in here going "OMG Hanners is teh hottnez. Faye is not sexy cause not hanners! SHOW HANNERS BOOBS!!!" I get tired of that in the WCT whenever there is a Hannelore strip.

DAMN. That's pretty intense.

I'm almost entirely sure that's not true, unless you've been doing hypertrophy specific training for years or are on roids.
