Alexandra 55 Posted July 7, 2004 So today I was at the gym, filling my water bottle at the fountain, and staring idly at the BMI chart posted above it. I've always just ignored it, because to read it one would think no female can possibly weigh as much as I always have. Of course, people with BMIs over 38 just don't go to gyms, right? But as I was standing there, it suddenly dawned on me that I'M ON THE CHART!!! A 70" female CAN weigh as much as 268, according to it, and I weighed 262 this morning. YAAAHOOOO!! I guess I'm in normal-people-land!!! (Well, normal with a BMI of 38, but I started at 47 so HEY, I'll take it!) :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Penni60 45 Posted July 14, 2004 I am sure if I thought about it long and hard I could figure out what it means but I just don't have the brain power right now. So, what does NSV stand for??? HUGE KUDO's to Alex. Great job! Keep it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
