Are You Fat?

[Head Wreck]

hey no that's cool...your question...it is a trick. Nearly all of your organs/parts are necessary to live...yes? I give...what's the answer?

jou dont need your apendix

[GothicRavenGoddess (3)]

uhm well, it was a reaching out question... i would say assholes, but then there are some ppl who are born with out one, due to some birth defect or another........ elbows are out, too... cuz some ppl are born w/o those, too... hhmm.... so this begs the question: what body part do all ppl have? I don't know... do you know?

yeah... anyways.. i know i can stand to lose a few lbs... i know that... but, i need something that's not going to add to the insane amount of muscle that I have in my legs and butt area.. and walking is out... that's why im so tight in the waist below area... so yeah.....

some more points to ponder....lol

[slingerlandstyx]

Eek, 24.9. I didn't realize I was that close to the warning zone.

Truth is you can be BORN without any body part, doesn't mean you will be alive when you come out though.

Body parts you need to live are vital organs. First thing that is necessary is the brain (or at least the parts of it that control such base functions, breathing and heart rate), lungs, heart, digestive tract (up to the kidneys, since a machine can do that). Although they do have heart and lung machines and have had these for a while now. Not that you could really call this "living" in any other sense but the technical one.

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

Skin. I've never heard of anyone being born without skin. Largest organ of the human body.

Yes...but she asked what's the ONE body part that everyone has to be born with...and I'm thinkiing 'well to live...all of them?"

Of course...HW did remind me that our appendix is useless, that's the exception to the rule. Oh right, and dangly bits differ from gender

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

Spleen. you can live without it. and you only really NEED one Kidney and one Lung...

but the ones absolutly "OMFG you can't live without...

Brain

Heart

Liver

Stomach

Intestines (large and small)

One Kidney

One Lung

a good portion of the Nervous system

the Lymph system

Sweat glands (or the body cooks itself)

and Skin (or it all falls apart)

[Scary Guy]

Tonsils too

[Destroit]

Intestines (large and small)

I dunno man...what about those really really old people that had to get most of their colon removed so they have to wear a baggie around their uhmm butt chute so the doody can fall in it?

We will safely say that...you only need a portion of your large intestine.

Man we're quite the buncha threadjackers here We're supposed to be talking about our weight level, not our colons

Thats why the ability to split the thread exists.

[GothicRavenGoddess (3)]

OMG!!! you guys... this is entirely my fault... i was trying to tell someone that i has no hard feelings towards them for getting one of my threads locked, and you guys totally blew it out of the water....

I'm fat, I know it.. tho... someone would beg to differ.. he says I'm all solid, with only a little fat here or there.... like i said... 210 lbs but mostly muscle... hehehe... doesn't mean that I am strong, it just means that its there... LOL

so yeah...

[Head Wreck]

true, theres 2 types of muscle mass:

for showing off

for being usefull.

i seem to be gaining the second type (Whee chin ups on 2 fingers!!!!)

[torn asunder]

didn't read the whole thread, but BMI charts belong where all the other BM's go... in the toilet!

if you're curious, get your body fat % tested. it costs maybe $10 at many gyms (** for skin caliper measurements) - my local fitness store even does it! you could do it 3-4 times a year & get a good handle on how you're doing, without over-analyzing, and really, what's $40 a year!?

** skin caliper measurements aren't the most accurate, but it will give you a base line to judge succesive measurements from.

Yeah, your prolly right... It even said almost the same thing in the quote that I started the thread with:

BMI has become controversial because many people, including physicians, have come to rely on its apparent numerical authority for medical diagnosis, but that was never the BMI's purpose. It is meant to be used as a simple means of classifying sedentary (physically inactive) individuals with an average body composition.

you can't tell that mine is there, unless you actually feel it for yourself.. i have a very tight ass, and only a little fluff on mt inner thighs, and my calves, oh man, they are so thick, its rediculous. my upper body isn't as strong as my lower body.. i need to work on that... if anything, that's where most of my fat really is... my arms, my tummy, and my back.. so yeah... :D

[SuZQZ]

Yeah, I don't need a BMI to tell me anything I don't already know. I know I'm thin and I know I am out of shape with little to no muscle tone. I'm just too lazy and too tired to work out. meh.

[Morbid Side]

22.7 Normal weight.

[predaking]

36.0

hhmm... this thing obviously doesn't count muscle, either, which is what most of my weight is.. my ass is solid, my thighs are solid, and my calves are solid... there are a few other muscles below the waist that are tight as well.. this calculation means nothing to me... i may weight 210 lbs, but most of it is muscle... so yeah... im just a little overweight, not obese, like this thing says.. and if anyone questions it, you can cop a feel.... i don't mind..

*puts on evil grin* I question it!

[Tryp]

13.2

Underweight

Damn my syndrome...

[JaneDead]

22.1

when i was younger (before kids): 17.4

after i had all my kids: 26.6

it's good to be "normal" now

[n0Mad]

26.6

Grr! 5 months ago I was under 25. Damn back injury.

'Tis okay. I still think you're hawt.

According to the site, my BMI is 19.8.

[GothicRavenGoddess (3)]

well, if we ever meet in person, you may cop a feel of my ass

[Onyx]

25.3, which puts me in the overweight range.

I could lose a few pounds. I'd like a slimmer tummy.

Strange though, just had a health assessment by a nurse hired by my company to do health risk assessments and she told me my weight was fine. They measured my waist-to-hip ratio plus neck measurements, weight, height, blood work. My heart attack risk factor came out as a 0.1% which is barely measurable and my cholesterol is great too.

I think this particular BMI scale might be just a bit off, not sure.

[predaking]

I'll hold you to it

[predaking]

my BMI sux! for my hight and age it says iI should weigh 175... WHAT!? i'd look like a fucking tooth pick! Kate Moss would be able to make fun of me for being to damn thin!

granted I do need to lose some weight but never that much.
