On just watching the Women's 100m Final at the C Games it made me think: "How many of these would fall into the 'normal' category in the NHS BMI range?

I doubt there'd be a one - as muscle weighs more than fat - and all would be classed as 'obese'. Which goes to prove what a load of tripe it is.

As exemplified by a programme I saw years ago about Vinny Jones when he was at his fittest - and he was classified as 'obese' on the BMI range.

Hahahaha!

That's supposed to read *BMI* Index!

Fair point although I'm surprised about Vinnie Jones.

I would have thought he was fairly slim when he was playing. Looked in the 5'11" - 6' 1" range and about 11 - 12 st

Nick, I think it was not long after he'd stopped playing but had put on more muscle for his acting roles so still looked slim - but more muscular in his upper body and  the BMI Index considered him 'fat'.

I remember it specifically as he threw a wobbler about it on the programme!
