BMI Rant
Ok...So every-time I weigh myself on our Wii I kind of get ticked off. And it isn't because of anything that I am currently doing...it is because of the BMI standard that our culture currently uses. BMI stands for Body Mass Index and basically is total garbage. It uses your height and weight and then determines if you are underweight, normal, overweight, obese, or morbidly obese. If you are wondering what your current level is at you can check it here. But don't worry about what you find...again I believe it is total garbage. Currently my height is 6'2 and my weight is 285, at that ratio, BMI says I am Obese almost morbidly so. and it also says I would need to get to get to the normal range. 193... So anyone that happens to look at this or has looked at it in the past...don't judge yourself on some artificial number...instead look at how you feel and how much energy you have...that is what really counts.
