[QUOTE="jay hay-char, post: 993149, member: 116810"] A great deal of truth in this, particularly with regard to looking in the mirror and watching yourself on video. My weight has gone up and down over the years and is presently in a happy place, but I still cringe at footage taken, nearly twenty years ago, of me in a swimming pool with my then two-year-old daughter. Not a pretty sight, and one that prompted one of my occasional serious stabs at weight loss over the years. Muscle is heavier than fat and I think most seriously muscly people don't conform to the norm and that healthcare professionals take this into account when assessing the BMI of such people. As an aside: is it just me who thinks that seriously muscly people, like professional body builders, for example, look massively abnormal and shouldn't necessarily be categorised as having a "healthy" physique, whatever that means? .... That's before you even start on stuff like the steroids that they neck to bulk up their muscles; but I am veering off topic now .... [/QUOTE]
