I just wanna say I'm glad your ugw is a healthy weight and not something crazy small.
I wish you lots of luck. (:
Aw thanks! I totally agree, I’m not sure why anyone would want to be THAT thin, but whatever they can do what they want.
What is the significance of Seventeen Magazine's BMI chart? Are the BMIs they claim to be healthy actually below average?
Honestly, at first I thought the values were pretty low…though I’m not an expert so I’m not sure at all. For example, if I input my height as 5’5” and weight as 145, Seventeen still says I’m overweight. Whereas in most other charts, I would already be just within the “healthy” range. So again, I have no idea who to believe.
Hi there!
i just wanted to thank you for posting that bmi chart from Seventeen.
seriously. that stuff makes me so angry. and it's heartening to see someone like you pointing out the issue.
Take care of yourself <3
No prob. Like I said before I was pretty surprised that seventeen would post something like that.
I saw that Seventeen BMI chart on my dash and those are the range that my doctor gave me. You probably won't take me very seriously because of the nature of my tumblr but I think it's to account for the different frames we have (small,medium,large). As long as it's their natural weight and they are healthy, it's fine. Sorry if this came across as rude or anything.
Oh no you don’t sound rude at all. To be honest I wasn’t sure whether the ranges were healthy or not :S I was too focused on the fact that Seventeen would even post something like that. I don’t know it seemed pretty strange since they’re always like “Love your body, your weight doesn’t really matter” sort of thing.
Yay for similar stats... you have achieved so much already though - so well done! Good luck with all your goals :)
Woot! I love that we have similar goals! Good luck to you too
Intake
Have had a very bad 3 days of eating….
I’ve been like a non stop machine….not ALL junk but still, it was definitely quantity over quality which is B-A-D…
I feel really disappointed and frustrated right now but I’m going to take this weekend to turn things around!
