[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1616819, member: 408573"] I had no paunch. I was straight up and like a washboard. I am now a thinner washboard but admittedly my bodyshape has changed with a small weight loss. Where that has become obvious is the area around my clavicles and to a lesser extent my thighs and waisline. By BMI standards I am underweight but just recently I learned that the committee that put the BMI together centred first on the number that would signify 'Obesity'. When Kendrick investigated BMI he discovered that the number of 30 was literally pulled out of the air by that committee. I have come to the conclusion that these calculators are based on whole population measurements and are pretty much useless so I now tend to go by how I feel as a MONW rather than measuring height, weight, waistline or degree in which my ear lobes droop. Too broad a spectrum leads to an awful lot of individuals who are normal but fall outside of the committees guidelines so for me it is one less thing to worry about. [/QUOTE]
