[QUOTE="jopar, post: 120943, member: 11712"] UPB Hmmm, to a certain extent you are right, weight gain and weight loss to a certain extent can effect the bra size, but in gneral not to that great of a difference... A lot of it will be determined by what mother nature has gifted you or not as the case will be! There is some allowance incorparated within the BMI to allow for the female, but to what extent I don't know.. But it is the reason why there is one scale for females and another for males.. But with everything though, the BMI is only an guideline so should be treated with caution and some common sense when interpretating it... The only real way of getting an accurate BMI, is a visit to a clinic where they can take several different kinds of measurments by verious means, then number crunch the data collected via a computer... I have a set of digital scales, that works out your BMI and fat ratio's etc... Stange thing is, they the BMI part says that I'm verging on being underwieght (which is true as I am skinny as a rake) but the Fat calulator actually tells me that I carrying to much fat!!!! Work that one out... Would like to know where this excess Fat is stashed too, because I sure can't work it out... [/QUOTE]
