    This is one of my pet peeves - fraudulent scales. There’s no way in Hell that bathroom scale is that accurately measuring your weight. Yet it just displays it anyway to make the item feel more luxurious or high end than it really is.

    What are your thoughts on using Wegovy or Zepbound? Have you thought about asking a doctor for the prescription?

        Losing weight without the Rx is amazing. I have lost about 100 pounds on zepbound but do worry about what would happen if I stopped.

    At first I assumed it was in lbs and was like “wow, you’re tiny” and that didn’t seem right so I zoomed in and went “wow, you’re huge”

    That’s almost 300lbs! The reflection rules out morbidly obese, so are you tall as fuck, jacked as fuck, or both?

      People have lost the plot on what is morbidly obese.

      To most people obese is healthy and health is dangerously underweight.

      The reflection absolutely does not rule out morbidly obese. It is by definition morbidly obese. The bmi scale does not care about muscle mass.

      Yeah I know it’s stupid. I’m also ridiculously categorized as morbidly obese. I’m quite a bit lighter than that though.

        Yeah it’s weird, I was just being lazy with wording, but now I want to defend BMI a little since it’s not that stupid. (I meant to say he didn’t look like the stereotypical image of a morbidly obese person, which in hindsight isn’t very productive)

        It’s true that BMI is only useful for “normal” people, which excludes pro-athletes/body builders with a lot more muscle than the average person, and people with conditions that affect their weight. For the vast majority of people, it’s a useful metric for overall health. Anyone who cares about longevity and quality of life shouldn’t ignore it just because it’s uncomfortable to think about or “seems wrong” based on some self assessments. Obviously, there’s a lot of stigma around being labelled as obese, but people are judgy assholes about everything. What’s basically guaranteed, though, is that if you do lose weight to reach a “healthy” BMI, you will feel a lot better physically (and probably also mentally). Pains you didn’t even realize you had will go away, you’ll have more energy, etc.

        I’m not saying you should lose weight, idgaf. Your life isn’t mine, and I’m not here to give unsolicited advice. I just feel compelled to add some extra context so people don’t draw hasty conclusions.

          I’m currently a little heavy, I’m not going to lie. But I haven’t always been. And even when I was really thin all the following was still true. I’m I’m only 5’10" (1.78m for the rest of you). But I wear 2xl gloves. I wear a 3xl motorcycle helmet. I have siize 13.5 us feet (EU 48-49). Usually people have a wingspan pretty close to their height, sometimes a little less or a little more. But my wingspan is just over 6’5" (1.96 m) which is 7" or 18cm bigger than my height. My leg bones are way thicker than average, almost freakishly so. Even when I was in marathon running condition, and even at my medium height I could dunk a basketball, I was technically right on the edge of obese by BMI standards. I beat our schools presidential physical fitness record when I was 14. I could stack all of the plates on the leg press machine easily, our football team guys couldn’t do it. BMI is a load of shit for some of us.

        You don’t have to be a little person to weigh 123lbs, just skinny. I’m average height and have always been super boney and the only way I’ve ever been able to gain weight was by working out. I weighed about 125ish almost my entire adult life, and only in the last couple of years as I became able to bike 100 miles a week did I squeak past 130

      I’m 6’3" and was close to 300lb at one point, but since I had a decent amount of muscle before getting fat I didn’t look morbidly obese.

    Min does 2 decimal points, but the last digit only shows 5-gram-increments. 80.00 -> 80.05 -> 80.10 and so on.
