Is her butt still an ax handle wide? It seems the photo police are careful how they take pictures of her so I’m thinking she’s still packin’ an enormous caboose!

The BMI is a very crude measure of body fat & general health. It should never be used to pass judgment on an individual’s state of health.

Agreed! My BMI is considered high, but my cholesterol is in the low 100s, my resting HR is 60 bpm, and BP is 110/60. I exercise daily, eat right, don’t drink or smoke, but they’d consider me “high risk” due to my weight.

Dumb... just dumb.

“The BMI is a very crude measure of body fat & general health. It should never be used to pass judgment on an individual’s state of health.”

Correct. I am a former professional football player. I am “morbidly obese” by BMI with a 7-8% bodyfat (you can see my abs).
