I'm really curious as to wether I'm big boned or not.. some people say I'm big boned, some say I have a wide frame, some say I'm a stick and need to stop dieting. I want to know the truth! So I measured myself..

I measured right above my nipples, all around, is that my chest size? It was 36 inches.

And I measured my wrists all around, right under the little bone thing that sticks out right under your hand.. it was 6 inches.

My bmi is 24.4

Please give me charts and calculators and stuff

Btw if I am considered big boned can the inches go down like on my chest and stuff?

it's amazing how my life is so absolutely dead that i spend all my time worrying about this. but it's better than just laying on my bed all day, rotting away waiting for me to get out of this place huh? i think so. whateverr. help

the bmi doesn't really take body shape and propotions into account.
My dr. actually thinks is it shit and doesn't follow it.

If you look to skinny or too fat you probably are.

Also you can be morbidly obese on the bmi but have better health than someone with a lower number.

you need to stop stressing on your looks, you are worse than most females.

you are going to make yourself sick, go all courtney love and need to be taken away in handcuffs to a hospital.

you look fine.

36 inch chest is small

the kinda rough way to figure it out is to put your hand round your wrist. if your thumb and index overlap you have a small frame, if they touch you have an average frame and if they don't touch you have a large build.

no offense but it's amazing to me how much you seem to be obsessed with weight and losing weight, gimmicks, being labeled fat or skinny etc.,

I'm not knocking you I just have been about where you are before in terms of weight obsession and the only thing that's ever worked for me is to lay off the talk, gimmicks, stereotypes of fat/skinny/chubby/frail/big boned and suck it up start exercising and eating less crap

you can talk, compare and bullshit for hours but sweating really gets you somewhere

and quit the diet pills.

^^^ forgot to mention that one

yeah, i thought that i would help


seriously though, youre getting obsessive and that is the root of eating disorders. go and google 'orthorexia', because it sounds like you.

*and the evanescence shirt*

*hides*

wtf?

You are over-analyzing your body, and it's a total waste of time. It doesn't matter if your body is technically "big boned" or "average" or "petite" or whatever.

Either you are a healthy weight or you're not. And you can tell that by looking in a mirror. Stop obsessing.

Everything about the BMI is lies.

Don't listen to what other people say.
Some tell you what they think you want to hear, some tell you things to make themselves feel better & some don't care & just say anything.

thanks! <3 is that for male or female btw? cause im male.

haha jeez it's like going on a treasure hunt, just have to go through SOOOOOO MANY WORDS to find one little tiny golden sentence

lolz, you still don't get it, why not read those words instead of skimming for the quick easy fix you long to hear? every since I can remember reading posts from you your quick fix weightloss obsession is all you seem to care about, no wonder you can't lose the weight and keep it off, your approach sucks

it's just it's just.. not true, haha, i mean i've lost SO much weight already and i keep losing more and more. and it DOES stay off, i always take big breaks where i just eat whatever and be lazy like i used to and i don't gain a single lb back.

i mean. it's just the way it is, i do what i do and it works. that's all that matters to me. people say all this shit but i mean what matters to me is that i get what i want.

see, i CAN lose the weight and i CAN keep it off. i've lost 70lbs so far and ever since i've made my program even more intense i'm losing so much more. i eat normal, i exercise, it's all good. it's just going great for me, everything i've always wanted is just coming true so i'm happy.

Male. I'm male with a 36inch chest and i wear small size t shirts so I'm guessing it is small

they recently stopped using the bmi as the body mass index cos its shite.

I like your avatar

That's all i have to contribute to this thread
