-- Posted by snowcone200 at 1:45 am on Nov. 22, 2008 I Weight 160 LB. Height 5'9 Does my BMI or system use tell you if I am a fat ass or skinny ass. Maybe a few month ago before nursing home I was weighing 134 LB and would average 128-136 LB per doctor in previous months before lets say august. -- Posted by OodleNoodle at 1:51 am on Nov. 22, 2008 BMI is total crap. It doesn't factor bone density, muscle mass or build into it. My dad, for example, is 5'10" and very muscular - he's an ex-military man - and he happens to have a big frame, yet BMI says that he's overweight, which he's not at all. -- Posted by LeanneS at 1:53 am on Nov. 22, 2008 no, id say thats fine -- Posted by easy at 2:14 am on Nov. 22, 2008 those BMI indexes are a joke -- Posted by Catacomb at 2:12 pm on Nov. 22, 2008 yes tehy are a joke
