![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I was horrified to be told my current weight! I’m a 5 ft 6 female, 33 years old, vegan, and I swim like 5 miles a week and run about 15 km. I just got back from a doctor’s appointment (about my asthma) and the nurse weighed me. Before I get any nastiness for my weight, I would like to note that I’m working on it and am making progress. Unless I’m built weird and have a Disney waist but as far as I know, I don’t as no one has ever commented on my waist size. Currently, mine should say “overweight” and the latter calculation from when I was at a healthy weight should say “healthy”. Honestly, the labels for the waist measurements should be changed. Now if my BMI were say 17 to 19 at the time when I had a 26 inch waist, I would agree with that label. It said “extremely slim” even though my BMI was in the healthy range. My weight says people should be manning their harpoons! I then entered my waist measurement from before I had children and weighed 150 pounds (26 inches) and a BMI of 22. I beg to differ as my body fat is slightly overweight category (one or two percentage points and I will be within the healthy range), my BMI is almost in the obese category (obese with some BMI calculators), and my measurements put me into a size 12 (one more size and I’m in plus sized territory). This calculator said I was “slender and healthy”. I’m 5’9.25″ weigh 202 pounds and have a 31 inch waist with my chest and hips being 10 inches bigger than my waist. ![]()
