- Type in your Body Mass Index (BMI) information into the calculator on this blog.
- Post a response to the shape of the animated character as it morphs into what your body should look like.
- Do you think the BMI calculator is something that is correct all the time?
- What do you think about the BMI calculations...give me your true personal opinion!
- Underweight = 18.5 or less
- Normal weight = 18.5 - 24.9
- Overweight = 25 - 29.9
- Obesity = 30 or greater
I think the shape of my character is totally off because I don't look like I weigh that much.
ReplyDeleteI don't think the calculator is right all the time because for people who have dense bones they weigh more than they should.
I think they are stupid!

I look blulker than i should and I don't think I'm that strong.
ReplyDeleteI think it's inaccurate because of muscle weight and shoulder mass.
Im 21.7 not that bad but oh well.
Black Ice
My BMI is 24.39
ReplyDeletei dont think the calculator is right all time for some people it might make them look way different then what they really are

I think i look alot broder in the animated picture.
ReplyDeleteI dont think it is correct but it can be correct. It just depends on your bone density.
My BMI is pretty acurate except the animated picture. I mean it says that I have a BMI of 20.23 im ok with that.

I don't think the shape is very accurate because my shoulders do not look like that hahaha
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's very correct, because if people lift weights or are really in shape they're gonna weigh more but that doesn't mean its fat, it could be muscle.
They should get a new way to decide if you are overweight.. i don't think BMI is correct.

So this thing is totally off, cause it shows that i'm HUGE which i'm not. i have dense bones and big hips..it's not all fat.
ReplyDeletei don't think it's corrrect all the time cause people who have a lot of muscle weigh more. and when they put that in it shows up as fat.

The shape of my character looks ok. I don't think it is as accurate as it probably could be. According to this, I am just on the edge of being overweight, but I'm not, so I'm happy. In general, there are much better ways of determining body fat.

The shape of my character looks way different then my actual body figure. No i dont think its usually right, but maybe for skinny,petite people, but for bulcky people who dont look bulcky not at all. I think its stupid and untrue most of the time....! I personally dont like it because if you havent met someone and they punch in and it shows that your huge even though your not they prolley wont like you because your body prediction on the bmi thing is fat.

the shaper of my character looks mostly what i look like. i dont think the BMI calculator is correct for those people that look big but really are not. personally i think it would be a good idea if its tweaked a little bit more.

ehh k so mine is 21.14 and i guess the picture isnt like really looking like me but it isnt as off as everyone elses seems to be. i guess it looks fine, idk. i dont think its an accurate way to measure anything but whatever. how many of us actually calculate our bmi outside of health class?
ReplyDeleteswagger.
Well, the little person kinda does look like me i guess.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it is correct all the time.
I think it is kinda silly but it is fun to see what it thinks you look like.
Cheesecake
this is not correct cause i am petite and strong but it says i look fat well at least thats what i think so i dont like it. also it doesnt ask how active u are or any so this is not a good way to measure BMI

I think the calculator doesn't really distinguish between the weight of fat, bone density or muscles, thats why many people could complain that the person doesn't look like them.
ReplyDeleteWhat I found was, that at a certain point the little person doesn't change its shape anymore and doesn't get any slimmer.
***blink***
- My Bmi was 27.91
ReplyDelete- it's clearly off because it doesn't show my sexy good looks and I'm kind of a big deal.
- I don't think the BMI is correct all the time but somewhat close
-I think the BMI is sick nasty sweet

I think the calculator thingy is quite on.
ReplyDeleteI got big, but not really big. In fact, If i were to gain some muscle mass. I'm thinking that this calculator is saying Fat mass though, and mine was
21.62. Mehh. Not too happy about it.
According to the rangings, I'm at my normal weight, which isn't as bad as i think. Sometimes i think this calculator is incorrect..muscle weighs more than fat, and I believe this BMI thinger is saying that all the weight is fat, regardless of you being a pretty muscular person
I'm done though
-Hutch
I think it was wayyy off on what I should look like. I also don't think it is correct all the time. The way that this determines body fat is wrong, in my opinion. Muscle mass and bone mass add to weight too, so I think it's stupid!

My BMI is 17. It says that im a little chubby but not really. I really don't think that it is correct because im not fat or a little bit chubby. I honestly think that it is not accurate cuz it only measures ur fat and not ur muscle.
ReplyDelete-starsky-
I think that i look pretty good. I think that the guy look about the same as me.
ReplyDeleteI dont think is right all the time cuz some people really arent as fat as the thing says they r.
I think its a good thing to have so u know if yur stayin in shape.
006
my bmi is 22.03
ReplyDeletei don't think it is right but its in the ballpark it don't say bout muscles and ya im bousen. jon pikop yo
I am confused, my BMI is 17.8 and I have a lot of CHUB.
ReplyDeleteI am 5"5, and I appear slim, but not underweight and malnourished, and not skinny.
I have a tummy that pops out and my arms are quite big... i would be very unhealthy if i put on weight... WEIRD
haha its laughable i looked well fat, my bmi is 25.51 an im 5ft 3 female, i wear a size 10 dress size but apperntly im overweight.
ReplyDeleteBMI calculators are typically incorrect. This because it can not measure bone or muscle density or lack thereof.
ReplyDeleteFor example: A person can be 5'4 / broad shouldered / stout & male And another person can be 5'4 / petite & female... and the calculator says they should be in the same weight range? It's laughable.
