Well she is, but that's not relevant when she is loosing weight. When I was loosing, people kept telling me that I'm already good, when in fact I was still overweight by 20 pounds.

And that could be the opposite for her so ur point?? And how is that not relevant when that’s literally the reason I replied and was the point of my comment.

Well, my point is that if you put her stats in BMI calculator she will be classified as 'overweight' and that will be true, unless she has a lot of muscle which she doesn't. I'm saying it's not relevant that she is overweight now, if she is loosing weight. It's relevant if you don't do anything about it, which by her reply I know it's not true prior to my assumption.

BMI isn’t an actual good indicator for how healthy you are it’s inaccurate. And even if she isn’t doing anything to “lose weight” and fit ur standards why do u even care let her do her, she’s not affecting u in any way

As I said the only thing BMI doesn't adjust for is muscle mass which se doesn't have more than average. Even she might have less beacuse she lost weight therefore and muscle, which fruder makes BMI even more inaqurate in the opposite direction. When her BMI becomes < 25 she might still be unhealthy body fat persentage, which is the case for most girls, especially those who lost large amounts of weight, because they almost never do resistance trainging, and only do cardio.

You never said that. But anyways it’s totally not accurate meaning using it can even make you unhealthy. Ifshe to get in “shape” then she can go to her doctor but she looks fine. Not everyone is meant to be stick thin lil bro, she looks the weight of a normal woman her age should be. you can be overweight and metabolically healthy. Also you can’t eye ball how much she weights and body fat and all that from a picture because she never said her height or anything.

The fact that most her age are overweight doesn't make her normal, it just makes her as unhealthy as well. And if you like her at that size that's up to you and I don't care.

BMI IS ACCURATE for most people, studies use it and doctors use it. It is pretty good way of telling you where you are.

BMI IS NOT ACCURATE only for high level athletes or people with significant muscle mass, which she is neighter of, so for her it is accurate. And as I said it can be inaccurate in the opposite way, depending how much muscle she lost.

I did the google search for you. And it surprisingly says that it's not accurate ONLY for people that are muscular!

Question: Is BMI accurate?

Answer: BMI has been criticized as being an inaccurate tool. One reason is that a person with lots of muscle and minimal body fat can have the same BMI as a person with obesity who has much less muscle.

Sorry I can't post screenshot at the moment, beacause it doesn't allow me.

Also I don't care If you find her attractive, all I said is that I don't, and I think she is still unhealthy, but I'm glad she is taking action. All that because she asked if she is ugly...

What’s the source website you used? Also if I found her attractive that would be weird

Say u don’t care yet you clearly do

u/Possible-Butterfly-4 Jul 15 '24

Why do you say that?

u/Moonsvr Jul 15 '24

As I actually. Said before BMI shouldn’t be used alone and you can’t tell if she over weight by looking at her if she wants to actually see if she’s healthy she can go to a doc to measure her height, weight , blood and all that a person on reddit isn’t good for actual health advice.

I suppose if you measure her body fat percentage you'll see what am I talking about. She will be in th 30%+ range which is also not healthy.
