Comments on: Oh noes! I’m obese! ROFLOMG!@# http://dossy.org/2006/12/oh-noes-im-obese-roflomg/ Everything that comes out of Dossy, from the strange to the banal.

I think weight is a relative issue. Exercise, sleep and caring for your health are the most important. I would personally recommend www.spine-health.com to get an idea about the latest advancements in the orthopedic arena; particularly (and strange enough) those concerning sleep, food, exercise and related topics. If you're interested in reading what people have to say about these topics, I would recommend checking out the blog: http://blog.spine-health.com Good luck! Miray Hello!

Nevertheless, your hair probably contributes quite a bit. Yes, I suspect you are quite muscular, I guess the teeshirts you wear just hide that fact to me.

Blame the CDC, it's their calculation. But yeah, you've got some interesting stats, 5'3" 190, and you aren't obese? Consider yourself lucky. We'll be posting more technical details shortly about how to use the tool - (and how to put it into perspective if you're a lean mean crime fighting machine such as yourself).

Apparently, my weight is well-distributed, too. I'm remarkably surprised that after all these years, no one has evolved a better fitness measure than BMI, one that more accurately describes the physical situation. Of course, I guess using just height and weight alone, there's not much you can do. But, what if you just added one or two more variables (gender, age) ... could it produce more refined figures? amc: Indeed, I’m quite muscular, especially my legs.

But, I'd never thought of myself as obese before. Perhaps what I call "obese" is what is medically referred to as "morbidly obese" which is apparently 100 pounds over ideal body weight. Most people who look at me have a hard time believing that I fluctuate between 190 and 205 pounds regularly--they're convinced I weigh less. Of course, my scale doesn't lie ...

The body mass index takes into account the ratio of your weight to your height. Muscle is heavy and therefore a person with a lot of body muscle may have a higher BMI than an average individual. In fact, a lot of very fit professional athletes are technically considered to be "overweight" or "obese" based on their BMIs http://www.consumerfreedom.com/oped_detail.cfm?oped=160 I wouldn't worry too much about the obese label.
