Its all about portion control, exercise, and DISCIPLINE

BMI is so lenient too.. it is bad for most people. The only ones I feel a bit bad about is the ones who have that one disease that makes them not feel full. That is all.

BMI's dumb if you work out. I'm 5'9" 180lbs but I work out 4 days a week. I lift heavy weights so I have larger muscles making me heavier. So, technically, I'm obese...that sucks...

this is so sad i'm an american and i'm not embarresed to say i'm 11 and 165 lbs i'm going on a diet plus i'm 5 foot 5 inches so i need to be around 105 lbs i'm going down to my cellar every day excersiseing for around 5mins-2hours so i'm working on it and i'm probably less than 165 right now i'm guessing around 155 so i lost a bit
