ruth, according to the BMI, at 59kg/162cm i was a "healthy" weight...the photos of me at that time, stressed from four years of ex-husband stalking me, show me as skinny, breastless, dull haired, and gaunt. at 64kg, my preferred weight (size 12) the BMI says i'm overweight. at BMX state titles, the year i won fourth place at forty, the BMI said i was overweight at 67kg of muscle from hard training. i was a size 10. at the moment, with weight on from 2 m/c so far this year, it says i'm obese. i still fit a size 12-14. go figure.
the BMI doesn't take frame and body type into account, so i say if you can't pick up love handles on yourself, you're doing ok!
