What is your BMI?
Posted: Wed Dec 16, 2020 10:13 pm
I just read in a book that 2/3's of Americans are overweight, which was something fairly shocking (to me) to read.
I fully believe that this group is above average to the American populace in several important attributes. Intelligence, financial well being, achievement of success, discipline, desire for success.
Therefore I'd guess that a poll here would reveal that less than 2/3''s (perhaps, significantly less) of those here would be overweight.
I probably would not be creating this poll if I were not one who was not overweight.
I'm at least 5'8" and weighed in this morning at 148.4. That puts me at a MBI of 22.5, 10% below overweight. I'd have to weight 16 more pounds to just reach overweight status.

By the way I read that sentence in this excellent book which I started reading tonight: Choosing the StrongPath: Reversing the Downward Spiral of Aging Hardcover – January 2, 2018
https://www.amazon.com/Choosing-the-Str ... l_huc_item
Reading the book has reaffirmed my being committed to maintaining my three times a week "preventative physical rehabilitation" (aka "exercise) discipline.
The book also has an accompanying web site: https://strongpath.com/
The book is more oriented towards those in the second half of life.
