Really random, but if your body weight were suddenly halved, would you still be alive?!

[eatsleepread]

I don't know what made me think of this. Probably the depressing realisation that if I weighed half as much, I'd be a skinny Minnie, but very much still alive and kicking!
So I really need to lose weight.
You?

I’d be a skinnymalinks but alive so I could come on mn and tell everyone that only a bmi in the teens is actually healthy

I'm 37 weeks pregnant and have put on nearly 2 stone to be 10.11, so I would just be alive but very very unwell and baby wouldn't be

I’d be very unhealthily underweight, but I imagine I’d still be alive, albeit not doing very much kicking.

I would be like Bella from the film Twilight when she was pregnant -minus the pregnancy though.

I'd be 5 stone so not very well! I do need to loose a couple of stones though.

Probably not, I'd be 5 stone 3 at 5'11" 😂

My BMI would be 12. I might just be alive, but I'd be 3 1/2 stone underweight.

At the moment because I’ve recently had a baby I would be 6.5 stone so about a stone under a normal BMI. If I was my pre-baby weight I would be dead or in hospital

Probably not, I'd be 5 stone. So either dead or very very ill.

Depressingly, yes, very much alive. Perhaps bordering on unhealthy

I would either be dead or on life support.

I would not be well at all. Very skeletal.

As I am currently overweight, although gradually getting less so this is all right to hear.

Apparently my BMI would be 13, so I don't think I'd be very well at all, and I certainly don't think I'd be 20 weeks pregnant as I currently am

What brought body mass into perspective is having an arthritic knee....the GP said even losing half a stone can make a difference to arthritis pain, because of how body mass ''increases'' as we walk... All our weight is travelling onto that knee joint.
Want to hold off knee surgery for as long as possible. Ideally would like to be a stone lighter. {172cms tall}

yes, but very underweight.

Yes, I think I'd be skinny and unwell, but yes, I'd be alive. I'm tall though, so my weight is never going to be that of a small child's, while I'm healthy anyway.

I'd be 5st 2lb so probably just about alive at 5 foot 7 but lets just say I wouldn't be particularly sprightly.

Very unlikely! BMI would be 10!!

Yes but I’d probably be at death’s door

NHS calculator advises I need to lose 5% of weight. Probably ate way too much in Lockdown. No ''probably'' about it.

I ate too much in lockdown.

Maybe, I'd be 5 stone at 5'7, so severely underweight.

I'd either be dead or dying and very skeletal. I'd just over 4 stone.

I’d be 4 stone at 5’10 so probably dead

I would weigh just a smidge more than my 4yo which I assume would mean death.

I'd be be underweight by about 3stone
