That's almost as small as the sizes go. . . I think the only thing smaller is Size 00

Sorry to hear that, but I think it is kinda funny that all the google ads are about weight loss. Bitches

I'm sorry but my friends who are 0s do NOT look like that. They are thin but not that thin.

That might be a size 0 for someone that is 5'10....not someone that is like 5'4.

The average person that wears that size is not that sickly looking thin.

Size 0 looks nothing like that.

that girl looks like she's sucking in to make her ribs stand out more. not everyone size 0 looks that unhealthy.

Just an FYI you can be rail thin or at your ideal weight and still be at risk for problems. Be more concerned about your body fat % then a so called ideal weight. Ok I'm done

EverSoulicious said:

It's called BMI. If you work out your BMI and compare it to the chart of BMI age:weight thingy you can see if you are perfect, underweight, or overweight.

EverSoulicious said:

Actually, be even more concerned with your overall health. Being average weight does not automatically make one healthy. There are plenty of people that eat crap and are killing themselves (via heart disease, high blood pressure, etc) and while doing it they don't gain a pound.

And smoking, etc.

BMI is actually a load of BS...since muscle weighs more than fat...a perfectly healthy, larger framed person with low body fat can still be in the "overweight" range according to the BMI scale.

There are far better ways to measure body fat levels. BMI contributes to people's obsession with numbers on the scale...which I feel is very unhealthy.

I'm fucking hungry...

JustErin said:

I disagree.

Spookymuffin said:

You disagree with what exactly?

JustErin said:

German foreign policy.

Spookymuffin said:

Anyhoo, a better way to determine fat levels is hydrostatic weighing. Yes, it's not very practical since it's not readily available...and I think that BMI is a decent way to get a rough idea of where you might fall but (I feel) no one should live by those numbers as the results can be a little deceiving. In regards to obesity related diseases, a fairly good way to measure whether you are at a higher risk is to do the waist to hips ratio.

JustErin said:

exactly!!! When I was 125 my BMI was high because I never exercised and ate bad stuff. I thought I was skinny so why bother. boy was that a mistake

Portion control has never been an issue with me...poor choices is.
