I've had to live with this in the past with my wife, who didn't think anything of being 5'7" and weighing 7 stone. Thank fully she's about 9 stone now.

I think it's fantastic, although there may be those models who despite having a low BMI may still be healthy...
It might help to see a shift in culture away from the normal model being underweight and unhealthy - let's hope so  ____________________ Avast! Pirates ahoy!

My OH was bordering on being skinny rather than slim when we first met. She still finds it hard to understand that I find her even more attractive with some meat on her bones.... something to get a hold of  ____________________ 1st bike (Sept'06 - May'10) : 1991 GPZ500S / Current bike (since Nov 2009) : 2003 Suzuki Bandit 600N

Be nice if some of the doctors in this country would get on board too and use a bit more sense than "according to this chart":-
My younger sister (26) is about 5"8 and weighs under 12 stone - admittedly she is chubby but carries it well and does have a thyroid problem (was living on one bowl of cereal and 1 salad a day at the time trying to lose weight). But according to the "doctors" chart she is "obese" - I was appalled, "overwight" I could live with but telling someone that they are obese when the clearly aren't is disgusting.
A few weeks ago my friend was having an all over check - approx. 5"7, just under 11 stone and a large size 12. Same thing - doctor says according to chart you are obese and I suggest you start doing something about it. I'd be surprised if at that she can pinch much more than an inch.
I find it easy to ignore skinny models (although I don't like the promotion of it through the publicity given to them) but when a doctor tells you that you're obese under those kind of circumstances I think it won't be long before we're seeing, what were healthy looking girls, going on stupid diets and making themselves ill.
I am disgusted with what they've been told and I'd like to see some doctor try to tell me I'm obese and not have their "chart" threatened with the bin!!! ____________________ We live in an age when unnecessary things are our only necessities  |

Doctors go by the Body Mass Index, or BMI. If your sister's weight is 12 stone, and she is 5'8", then her BMI is 25.5, which is in the "Normal" range for women (19.1 - 25.8). Your friend has a BMI of 24.1, which again is normal. Women need to be > 32.3 before they are classed as "Obese".
The doctor needs a new chart.
I was 39.6, or 0.6 away from "Morbidly Obese". Now at 30.2, I'm just "Overweight"  ____________________ Current: CB500 Previous: CB100N, CB250RS, XJ900F, GT550, GPZ750R/1000RX, AJS M16, R100RT, Enfield Bullet
