| KingArthur said: You guys are so tiny. It just counts BMI and BMI does not work at all. I am overweight according to wii fit, which is just rediculous. 6"4 and 230lbs. |
@KingArthur: You may be a lean and fit 230lbs, but if you are you don't need to be taking health or fitness advice from Wii Fit and know there are better ways for you to judge your health and fitness. Wii Fit isn't really made for you.
Every second guy comes into threads like this saying that BMI is useless and claims that it wrongly states they are over or underweight for various reasons. Guess what, it certainly will be 'wrong' for some people but some probably just are under and overweight by medical standards and that has implications for one's health. BMI may not be the be all and end all but to say it doesn't work at all is wrong.
I'll refer you to a previous post on the topic and an abstract from a study published in the Lancet using data from nearly a million people.
