[QUOTE="navineja, post: 175491, member: 4278"] I did the BMI for J and it put her at the very top of the healthy weight, and 18.4 BMI. But again as Totoro said, it can't really evaluate body type or health. J is very active and very healthy. When I was a teen, I weighed more than others, but I was pure muscle from years of gymnastics. My best friend was about 17 before she hit 100 pounds. I always felt fat around others until I really learned about BMI. Funny thing was, my best friend had a higher body fat than I did, even though she was so thin! I try to instill in the twins the philosophy of health, not weight, but it is soooo hard when they are constantly bombarded with it everywhere you turn. [/QUOTE]
