okay, let's test the theory: does anyone here fall within the healthy bmi range, and are you actually [*gasp*] healthy?
me.
Me too.
I was unhealthy at a healthy BMI... But that was because of my eating habits (or lack thereof)...
I totally have to lose weight. God only knows what my BMI is. probably it's like 100
I'm within a healthy range still, but not quite as healthy as I like to be at the moment... Working on it.
When I was within a healthy BMI range, I looked and was healthy.
Now, however... /: I have a ways to go yet.
I'm smack in the middle of the healthy BMI range. I consider myself healthy, as does my doctor.

I'm probably this..:$ I probably dont eat enough calories lol my BMI is 20-21
I've beaten my BMI down to mildly overweight (after juuust crossing into obese) but I am reasonably healthy.
Mind you, I start feeling middleage knocking on my door.
middleage schmiddleage. i'm far healthier at 42 than i was at 35.
me
But I was heathly when I was above the BMI range as well. I'm much more comfortable in the normal range though.
I am.
I have a BMI of 20.2
Yeah, I'm healthy insofar as my weight goes. I have other, non-related issues though.
Edited: put 20.9, then actually calculated again..I was mistakened.
yes and relatively healthy.
I think I am, but I also have shoddy joints and pre-exsisting health issues.
Spladaow
i'm in a healthy BMI-doesn't stop me having seizures or having low sodium coz of the meds I take. I'm not very fit either, but I'm working on it. Right now I have a chest infection and I keep getting sick. I get 1 to 2 migraines a year-euch I'm currently on 4 different medications. I'm healthy in the sense that i'm not dead...hahaha
I take offense to this obsession with being healthy. I've got a chronic condition that wont go away with out brain surgery, so healthy can shove it.
gesundheit?
Yeah, but is that a statement about great 40ies or lousy 30ies??
;-P
both!
I am within the healthy BMI range. as far as me actually being healthy? I guess that all depends. Does eating mcdonalds 5 times a week make me healthy? no probably not.

Maybe this quote from Nitzsche will help. It certainly helped me when I was told my leg would never be the same:
'Health is the amount of illness that allows you to carry on with your usual activites' (roughly translated)
Since I never wanted to be a ballerina, crawl through a jungle with only a knife and some spearmints, or climb stupid mountains just because they are there I learned to live with it.
