to think the NHS bmi calculator is a bit 'off'

[SaggingTits]

Hoping I don't get flamed for this or offend anyone. This is me pondering on my own weight more than anything.

I'm 5"3 and weigh 10stone. I have made an effort to get my weight down after having ds and reaching over 11stone. Checked my measurement's today and according to NHS website my bmi is in the 'healthy weight range' by a few pounds. I am unquestionably 'fat' and look overweight.

Unsure if it's how I personally carry weight, body shape etc, or is the bmi concept a bit shite?

The thing is op that you may look a bit overweight but that isn't the same as your weight causing health problems. I also look like a frumpy middle aged mother woman if I have a bmi of 24.5 but that isn't the same as it sending me to an early death. BMI is a pretty blunt tool really.
