in It IS all about me,Plan B

Now, I know y’all are standing in line to disagree with that statement, but it’s true! According at least to this definition, I’m normal!! Some time in the last week or so, I’ve lost just enough weight to trip me down to a body mass index (BMI) of 24.9, which is no longer overweight but normal.

Look!

normal!

See? Normal! And if it says so on the interwebs, it has to be true!

Congratulations on your normalcy. :-)

That said, the BMI is a poor measure of health. Muscle weighs more than fat. Therefore, it’s common for top athletes to have a BMI in the Overweight and Obese categories – and others, such as marathoners, to have an Underweight BMI. Yet few would claim that these people don’t epitomize optimum health.
