Holy crap, I'm a big fat fuck, but I am well under the limits of the Wii fit board. Being over would be a plain scary feeling.

I'm 6'5'' to 6'6'' and 165 pounds, and yes, it's pretty twig-ish. That dude must be even more so.

I can't play Wii Fit because my body doesn't work from the waist down.

you are significantly underweight, no advanced metabolism would reduce you to that; intake more calories.

also, OP is a giant. disappointing, but not suprising wii fit doesn't support such weight being a japanese product.

Lose some weight so you can play Wii Fit!

Seriously. Easiest way to do it, is to cut out all drinks but water, stick to salads and chicken. I dropped kilos like they were nothing (which is still a few months) when I did that. And exercise always helps

Fish is another option, isn't it? I always thought of it as pretty lean and healthy (and it's one of my favorite foods). Of course I know about mercury and all that.

6' and 150 lbs. BMI of 20.3. That's considered normal weight, but I still consider myself pretty skinny.

People who go by BMI are fools. There seems to be a lot of underage and immature people in this thread. Only your doctor can give you a weight loss goal, so If you wish to lose weight go seem him or her. Asking GAF is not the way.

The BMI scale is terribly inaccurate and doesn't seem to account account for any muscle mass at all. I felt skinny as hell at 5'11, 159, so I went and brought myself to 180 and I still want to push myself to 185 or so; overweight according to a stupid BMI calculator.

5'11 at 185 isn't overweight?

Not saying you're fat, but it's hardly ideal. 160 sounds about right.

<-- 5'11', and 120lbs on average. Currently hovering around 115.

I can eat sticks of butter and nothing will happen. My body just metabolizes everything like it's water; I can't gain anything.

I went to the gym for a full 4 months last year, 3 times a week, doing weight training, eating lots of carbs and protein the whole time, and I gained a measly three pounds. Over four months.

Don't worry, just wait until you get older and suddenly start getting fat from eating everything.

No way are you totally ripped at that weight. I'm 15 pounds more and same height, very little fat and not any significant muscle mass... Oh wait, my legs. Maybe your legs are smaller than mine.

But it's not like mine are huge. I seriously question this shirt-ruining.

That's a pretty good weight for someone who loves food.

5'10 and 155 with a BMI of 22.2. I'm in good shape except I have Chun Li legs. :\ Although a little over a year ago I was 230 pounds so it could be worse.

Wii Fit made you more aware of your body and prompted you to get in shape. Miyamoto is right as always.

BMI is not really an accurate measure of anything at all.

Now, I WILL admit to being overwieght, but I am also 6'5" and LITIERALLY big boned, with a seven foot wingspan, size 15 feet, shoulders that look like I'm wearing football pads, etc. Were I in shape, I'd still be up around 250, or so, which is not exactly where the BMI chart says that i should be.



It's great as a guideline, but absolutely meaningless if you want to actually look at things empirically.

edit: as far as WiiFit goes, I place my foot on it lightly when it is first calibrating, and I find that takes off the ten or so pounds that I need in order to squeeze in under the weight limit. Before knee surgery put me out of commission (causing me to pack on a few more pounds due to lowered mobility) I was around 325, so now that my rehab is pretty much done, it won't be long until I'm back under the curve, but I definitely feel the OP's pain.



And no, the surgery had nothing to do with weight, at least, not my own. It was due to complications from never having an old weight-lifting injury treated, from 6 or so years ago. So much for lifting with your knees, eh?

His point was that a doctor would better help you determine what your weight should but, but I do agree too many people go to doctors over the littlest things these days.

6'0" 160 here, but I still have baby-fat on my face, so people assume I weigh closer to 200 (and that I'm under 18.)

Overall I'm not in good shape and have a large gut, but BMI says I'm a-ok!

I'm 6'1" and during hockey season I'm at 210. I drop some weight during the summer from relaxing training, but I don't think I ever hit the "OK" 190-ish mark.

BMI is a general guideline for the overall population. The second you try to apply it to a single individual, it becomes flawed. I weep for all those poor obese bodybuilders.
