Quite a few carved out of stone rugby players would disagree with that :tongue:

Maybe but there are always exceptions.

That can't be true
I went on the web-sites and it said that I had a BMI of 17.22. But I'm not underweight. One of my friends weighs 5 stone! It has to be wrong

It isnt reliable for people still developing.

Too fat is when you forget the appearance of you genitalia.

not wrong, yes flawed in some cases and quite approximate. and not designed for those still growing (like 13 year olds)

BMI Is a good indicator:

Weight in Kilos/[Height in Metres]^2

i.e. 100kilo 1.75M tall

100/1.75^2 = 32.6

BMI < 20 = Underweight
BMI >20 , <25 = Normal
BMI >25, <30 = Overweight
BMI >30 = Obese

Body mass indicator?

Girls are fully developed before boys. I'm sure i've read in one of my text books that its 21 for guys and about 17-18 for girls.

I didn't think so either

Although I've dropped down quite a bit solely because I know if I grew out of 16s finding decent clothes would be much harder.
