We've all seen our BMI scale... So what is your definition of obese/overweight?

Question

Answer

I'm 7 weeks pregnant here, I was considered overweight when I got pregnant. I'm now 16 weeks and I have gained 3 lbs. so I haven't gotten much bigger. I think the BMI scale is fucked. Sorry if that offends anyone. I'm "overweight" because I am short,that's ridiculous

Answer

It's based on some sort of calculated "average". It doesn't take into account that each individual is unique. To put it nicely, a group of idiots came up with it ... anytime body builders and special forces personnel are considered overweight because they have more muscle mass than their "average" counterpart at some of office cubicle.

Answer

The BMI scale doesn't apply to everyone.
