Your BMI 1

Im trying to lower my BMI, right now I am at 27, which is slap in the middle of the overweight range. I want to lower it to 24.9, which is normal.
Some people's BMI doesn't really reflect their weight well, for example, maybe they are fit and quite muscular but their BMI says they are over weight.
What's your BMI?

Intermittent fasting plus being hella active. I've been doing that for years and years and I've never been overweight. Even when you are home just never stop moving. I never sit and watch TV and I only play video games in the evenings before bed and sometimes in the afternoon on my days off if I have nothing to do.

23.7 but I think BMI alone can be a meaningless metric... if you work out a lot lol it's not even measuring muscle/fat ratio - Like i'm rather slim but have a decently built upper & lower body - yet apparently verging on 'overweight'

At some point looking at your naked body is the best way to tell. Bmi is just a number lol.

21.7 with a 31" waist. If I was muscly it'd likely be more, but I'm all bone & gristle.

My bmi was 27.8, I wasn't even checking it but I had been put onto a machine to check my blood pressure. At the end it gave me a big unhappy face with giant red letters 'OVER-WEIGHT / Pre-Obese'.
I wouldn't say I'm unhealthy, walk at least 12km a day, but the message really got to me.
I made a few diet changes along with some intermittent fasting and down to 21.9 now.

Okay this again..
Bmi is a silly metric to gauge health. Im not tall and have a lot of muscle stacked on my frame so the numbers suggest that Im "obese" because I am very dense and heavy for my height. I run 20 miles a week and am otherwise a very physically active person. Ive been an athlete for most of my life. I dont quite have the washboard abs like I once did, but I for sure wouldnt say Im fat either.
I was a personal trainer for some years and that job got frustrating. Not because I wasnt good at it--i was-- but because people have unrealistic expectations of what their body can look like. Men all think they can have a six pack while women tend to pine for something even more unrealistic.
Its tragic. Genetically speaking, our bodies want to be of a certain shape and size. Even in peak fitness, some bodies just carry more fat than others. Some peoples frames are just bulkier than others. I remember telling one client "My dude if you get any thinner your head is going to look too big on your body.". I felt bad for him. He was by all rights, much stronger than I have ever been. He had worked his ass literally off and was still comparing himself to men who couldnt move even a third the weight he could.
Fat isnt bad. Its there for a reason. I went into the hospital in an emergency at 165lbs and came out 20 days later at 130lbs. If i hadnt had fat on my body, I might not have made it. Its there for a reason, my friends.
Its not about what your body looks like, its about what it can do. Vo2 max is a more important metric of fitness to me. Pumping oxygen in, and lactic acid out is the functionality that makes incredible shit happen. Its how races are won, mountains are climbed, fights are won. Range and flexibility is more important than physique. Strength is more important than power and mass. Ive always had a good time at parties winning arm wrestling matches with guys that are much more massive than I am because strength training is specific and cumulative.
I always tried to shift my clients' perspective this way. In my experiece, when you achieve peak fitness in measurable metrics, youll be happy with how you look also--even if that doesnt include abs.

five feet eleven.
But seriously, something might be wrong with me, I eat eat and eat but can gain no weight.
I used to weigh a constant 150 and within the past year I have went down to 138.
Wait, could it be that I dont eat meat?
