[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 677723, member: 11791"] My son was always hounded to lose weight by phys ed teachers and doctors, because of his "BMI". Except... he was really only about 10 pounds over what he "should" have been - way less than kids who don't get hounded about it. What throws his BMI out is his structural dimensions... tall, with very broad shoulders, very heavy set. Hip-to-waist ratio seems to be a much better indicator of unhealthy weight. Trust me... a waist that is 2x your hips is BIG trouble! Ratios are different for guys and gals, of course. [/QUOTE]
