That’s just what I was thinking about too. I’d sure like to see some of those pictures.

“Cute kid and not remotely fat.”

Nice build, as well.

She is probably carrying a few pounds extra of muscle than the carbohydrate-saturated “waifs” who weigh a couple of pounds less. After all, muscle weighs more than fat.

If the kid would just get a proper Lesbian butch haircut, she would pass the weight test. /s

I’m glad they don’t have that crap down here. My 11 y.o. grand daughter has been a gymnast for several years. In every competition she medals. She would not make the BMI standard because she’s well muscled. Remember Gabby Gifford? Like all good gymnasts very well developed muscles.

BMI is a worthless measure of weight. Trust the idiots in public education to love it.

She looks perfectly fit to me. Bear in mind that the camera even adds a few pounds. The mom has a right to be upset.

Every time I get a fitness check from my insurer, they inform me I’m overweight, My BMI is 25.2, up to 24.9 is normal. I’m 5’9 171, 57. my body fat is 11%, their target for my age is 20, my waist is 33, their target is 40. I do a 20 minute workout every day but Sunday alternating between running on an elliptical for two ten minute stretches and pure weight work on the other days.

I ask them if my body fat is almost ten percent below their target, then what is that extra weight I’m carrying? It doesn’t matter to them. I was never a skinny rail, not built that way, as a college athlete I was one pound less than I am now, with a 29 in waist and a 46 inch chest, so at 155 pounds, I’d be near death. It takes nothing into account how you are built. My buddy is my size, but narrow shouldered, weighs ten pounds less than me, with a beer gut and doesn’t look or feel like he could keep up, but he is OK according to these experts!

DiBlasio is his Marxist moniker. Warren Wilhelm is his real name.

We had that problem when I was leaving the military.. they changed their weighing technique. It didn’t take into account how much muscle mass there was in the body :/ (and, most of us know, muscle weighs more than fat)...

"coven".. key word..
Coven is meant for a gaggle of witches in a group.. Supposedly Wicca is a 'natural' Pagan (white magic) 'cult'.. NO idea about the black side, and don't really wanna know :/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicca



And, no, I am NOT one.. just was curious about it when I was younger. (Also, can't remember meeting any either). I am a Christian.
