I have never really looked at the BMI side of things before, and simply set my personal target at the weight I was when I looked and felt good, (if you know what I mean) nothing to do with BMI.
When I got weighed by the practice nurse last week, I asked what the BMI should be. She said that ideally it should be under 25, but not to worry about that because it's pretty unlikely I'll ever get that low. That due to my general build, (looking at my shoulders, wrists, ankles, etc.....) I will always be above the 'guidelines'.
Is your BMI important to you, or is it just the weight/size issue you work towards.
By the way, the nurse is lovely and very supportive. She wasn't being nasty or funny (like it might sound). We were having a good laugh about it, especially when she said I'm actually 'just' fat now. :8855:
And........does this mean I can use the excuse of being officially big-boned?
