I'm a fan of low childhood morbidity and a steady diet, to be sure.
This is why BMI is a bad index, I've heard. It was made when everyone was skinner due to poorer diets.
My daughter (the one in the green dirndl) has an "overweight" BMI, but she wears a size small. I'm considered "extremely obese". Could never get below "obese", even when I was long-distance running in the mountains and wore a size 8.
I now go by waist-to-height ratio and jean size. Have a pair of old jeans I want to squeeze into. I don't weigh myself, anymore, as it drove me nuts.
