OT: Is there ONE RIGHT BMI scale? - purplefaithful - 07-04-2017
I've been dieting since April. Dropped 20lbs and then decided to get to 25lb loss. I hope I'm there by end of this month if the summer food doesnt f me up.
There are so many different ways to measure BMI, is there one scale most would measure themselves by?

I like the one that says 260 is ideal for 6'3"

He even laughed a little as well, I am currently 255 and have a small belly that I wish I could lose, but other than that I am pretty rock solid everywhere, and actually look and feel better than almost anytime in my life

Exactly!!! When I weighed 243 I looked fat, I started hitting the gym and was doing 3-4 boot camps a week and lifted 5 times a week, I lost inches around my waist and gained inches in my arms and chest and I gained 17 pounds !!! But I actually look healthier. So I am not a fan of the BMI@purplefaithful said:

My Doc wants me to lose 15 lbs or so. In the last year I've gained 5-7 lbs. Doggone bbq. I get on the scale and it tells me hey buddy one at a time here.
My oldest daughter is almost as tall as me now. But I'm growing too....sideways. :/

Interesting question! There is a new version out called the Body Volume Index. It is based on a body scan and can be done with an Ipad! Goto http://www.bodyvolume.com/ to learn more about it. the app for the Ipad is available for free from Itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bvi-pro-3d-body-volume-fat-measurement-tool/id1215572920?mt=8
