Neandertals have large chests, and have a higher weight to height ratio than do more typical humans.
There is no known Neandertal with a BMI less than 26.

the closer to a neanderthal genetic profile for things immune system we are, the 'better' our defense mechanisms. my opinion.
'But, Quintana-Murci says, the biggest surprise for them "was to find that the TLR1-6-10 cluster is among the genes presenting the highest Neanderthal ancestry in both Europeans and Asians.'
thanks, max planck.
Neanderthals boosted our immune system | Max-Planck-Gesellschaft (mpg.de)
i've always thought this, and just been waiting for more 'research' to further support it. it continues to ramp up.
on the udder hand, there has been some 'last month' research arguing that higher neanderthal dna may lead to higher sars2coronavirus susceptibility. i have to wait a while before i jump on that bandwagon.

I'm 6'5 and don't think I've seen 200 pounds to be "healthy" since freshman year of HS. No interest in seeing it again either, the border of overweight/obese while being actually healthy is good with me

I gave up dieting for lent. Eastern Orthodox Easter isn't until May 2 this year.

As became pertinent with the comorbidity stuff, 74% of American adults are in the yellow or worse.

Sounds like liver disease.

I’m fat now, and that’s my own fault.

But in my mid 20s (5 years ago) when I was working out hard (daily work out consisted of 100 push-ups, 10 min of jump rope and 10 minutes of planks in under 30 min) I hardly had any fat on my body and was 195. At 6’1” and in great shape The BMI considered me “overweight”. Working out like that, I had put on about 15 pounds of muscle during that time to move up from 180. And with my shaved head at 180, I looked like a cancer patient. People never believed me that I was 180, I pack it in really well. I must have heavy bones.

Now I’m 240 and I guess that makes me “obese”. Oh well.

As someone in the know about people's at home drinking habits, I would guess that somewhere close to that number of adults has that too now following isolating at home.

I'm 4'7" and 300, so I didn't answer.

Jesus. Not being obese isn't even my goal. My goal is just to be less obese.

I don't like this quiz. Why aren't you asking what we got on the LSATs or something?

OK, what did you get on your LSATs? What gets you into Yale?

 

[huskiesouth]

Have no idea what businesslawyer scored on the LSAT, but I do know my score has increased every time I have mentioned it since I took them back in 19??, right now the number is just about equaling the year - this year 😎

 

[NJHusky]

Is it normal for your BMI to be 10 points higher than your body fat percentage????

Don’t know what is normal but if your BMI is 25 and your body fat is 15...that’s very good

if your BMI is 39 and your body fat is 29. U got issues

21?

It's not polite to pick on old people🤣

 

[Matrim55]

6-1, 195 and in the best shape of my life b/c of 5x weekly workouts during lockdown, and BMI says I’m overweight.

Meh.

 

[NJHusky]

Body Fat Percentage is far more accurate and telling then BMI. Muscle mass is completely ignored when looking at BMI.

I’m 6’1”, 203 lbs at roughly 19-20% BF or 26.8 BMI which is overweight. For me to be borderline healthy green at 24 BMI I would need to be ~180 lbs which would put me at sub-10% BF. I’ve gotten down to low 190s before and I can’t imagine killing myself to drop another 10 lbs from there.

BMI would be happy if u lost muscle mass as long as your weight went down. It’s an idiotic measurement. Don’t forget they lowered the weights for obesity in 1998. Try using the old numbers.

 

[NYC_HUSKY22]

6'3" 210.. so 26, but i guess I'm overweight? If I was 190 i'd be skin and bones.

 

[FriarJ]

Age should be taken into account. I'm 6' 2" 215. I would have to lose 35lbs to not be considered overweight. There is not a chance in hell of that happening anymore at my age.

[Travelman6]

I am right on the cusp of "normal" and overweight at 6"1...190 pounds.

To make me feel better, I watch "My 600 Pound Life." I feel terrible for those people, but it certainly makes me feel fit no matter what my current weight.

I watch that too. While I feel bad for some people on that show and am amazed by the turnaround some make, others are just horrific.

 

[boba]

Seriously. I'm 6'2" and I can't imagine being healthy at 150 lbs. I couldn't imagine even getting a date at that weight.

That said, I'm solidly obese, but with good bloodwork. And at 65, the only way I'm going to be seeing "overweight" (which for me is under 210) is a long bout of cancer, lol.

That was my number when I entered Boot camp (74" / 148lbs) oh so many years ago. I was one of the few who put on weight going through basic training, left at about 160lbs.

 

[XLCenterFan]

Before covid I would have been 18.5 or less. Now 18.5-24.99. I've gained about 15-20 pounds this year. Not sure on the amount exactly...I just bought a scale because I started to notice. I had been the same weight since like HS...now I'm 38.

 

[Leebo]

Guys that are ripped super athletes are going to appear as overweight.

So we've got 50% skinny guys and 50% ripped super athletes here.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

How many extremely obese guys can dunk?

 

[HuskyHawk]

Jesus. Not being obese isn't even my goal. My goal is just to be less obese.

I don't like this quiz. Why aren't you asking what we got on the LSATs or something?

I second this! That was the only way I even got in.

 

[Dogdeacon]

Yes, there is no possible way that BMI's of 18.5 to 24.99 represented the median of the boneyard even 20yrs ago and it is a lot of the same folks that many years and lbs later. Either people are giving themselves benefit of doubt or its like a high school reunion where only the successful show up to brag.

 

[Mr. Hand]

For the last 20 years my doctor has been telling me to lose 10-15 lbs. In that same time he's gained at least double that.
