[QUOTE="Ehlana, post: 191425, member: 21341"] I agree with you patch totally! As a woman that runs 3 to 4 times a week, does regular weight training and cycling, I am still told that I am overweight for my height. It doesn't take into account that I have a large muscle mass due to all the training I do (at the recommendation of my diabetic nurse I might add!). I feel the medical profession are obsessed with BMI and do not take into account the circumstances of the patient. Would they dare tell a professional rugby player that he was obese? [/QUOTE]
