I'm 5'4'' and about 130 pounds, but it's (almost) all muscle.


now that sounds interesting.
i knew of calculations that at least included age and sex, but measuring muscles, body fat percentages etcetera - at least sounds like something that can give somehow serious feedback. but still doesnt tackle when i feel well. ;) (for the record: i like that im gaining some muscle, lately, but i still have a bit of an aversion to gathering weight. i always cross-check by listening to myself and looking at the mirror to see whether i like the changes or not.)

also, reducing the relationship of height and weight to a number and putting some scales to it doesnt come close to delineate whether you feel well in your body.


It has to do with health, not looks in the context of a BMI. Being obese can cause some serious health problems.

i love bmi, even though it doesnt say if person is fat or not... <_<" (for example muscles weight a lot, but use little space...)

mine is 21-22 now. 160-164cm, 55-57kg. going down.

my best one was 13. 35kg. *_* i miss this times, i looked so extremely anorectic. it was unhealthy though...

Oh wow! i love heavy girls! i hate skinny girls too hahaha... i like heavy ones not for sexual reasons... tactilely a heavy girl is much softer warmer and squishier and gives better hugs... and if laying on top of you is much heavier no duh!


I WANT A HEAVY GIRLFRIEND!! !

My weight fluctuates between 169 and 171 lbs on an almost daily basis, so my BMI is usually between 24.4 and 24.7

My BMI is 26.9. Overweight. Yet, I don't look fat at all. Just feminine and curvy. Well, I wouldn't take this BMI to seriously, anyway. I would like to lose about 10 pounds, around my middle. But I look nice in clothes.

you know, the fact that a classic curvy feminine body is deemed overweight via those cheap bmi scales tells quite a bit, doesnt it? (well, besides that these cheapo scales arent of much use).
but the world out there indeed has a huge problem concerning beauty ideals. for one, a huge number of people seem to think that throwing the best features of each kind of hotness together will make uberbeauty. like, a flat, trained belly, gravity-defying breasts of around c-cup, a bubbly brazilian rear end and slim, trained legs. on top of that, i see a trend of trying to de-mystify things - in a bad way. if beauty can be reduced to numbers, then thats so great, because its so easy, isnt it? and finally, we know what beauty is, too...

i saw a show in tv yesterday, where a model coach (a most cute guy, his name is bruce darnell and hes the best thing to come out of america since donuts) meets up with a girl that is not content with herself and he tries to fix her up by giving tips on wardrobe, makeup, and mostly polishing up her ego. what can i say, there was a most beautiful girl with a slim figure crying on end because she thought herself to not be feminine enough because she "only" had breasts that were fitting with her overall slim curves. she even considered breast implants, which would have butchered her overall harmony.
i can see the same thing happening the other way round - a good-looking girl with a superb hourglass figure might rather believe a stupid number or completely twisted hotness trends instead of a good, honest look in the mirror.

aint that a really, really sad state?

Nope. Even if I had any, I wouldn't be comfortable posting them.

But it's flattering to be asked. :wink:
