It's a very brilliant Tuesday morning here in my country.
So today I was planning to go to the clinic to check my weight.
I was just figuring out when I last checked my body weight. Then I remembered that my body weight was slightly less to the required weight according to my height. The so called body mass index (bmi) some three months back.
What do you think

@Treborika - Gaining weight is not good for our health, I want to be sure I am not gaining weight.

@LadyDuck Sometimes people still grow and I think they gain weight

BMI is a bad indicator to be honest. Im considered fat... Im not fat the scale doesn't distinguish between muscle and fat. Probably why many (especially young) athletes develop a lot of problems... Theyre not fat they are muscular.
Havent weighed myself in a while I suspect I may start putting on weight though... Depending on certain things.

Yes you are right the BMI has no meaning at all for me. I am blessed with 5.7feet with 58kg weight. I am healthy with no alarming health condition yet the BMI is wanting.

My weight for height has always been way underweight. I’m just naturally small nothing I can do about it but I am lucky!
We always had a scale in our house growing up. When I got my own house I had one too but I would check my weight constantly and felt it was better to just get rid of it. I know if I gain or lose weight based on how my clothes fit. They are falling off me since having the baby a year ago.

@Treborika I don't do it often these days. I usually judge my weight by my clothes. Whether they are tight or loose.

I check my body weight every two months. I am overweight and so am doing yoga and keeping a control on my diet.

I check it nearly every day so as to keep not getting too many pounds.

@Treborika l would not be able to tell my weight by my clothing, but l would know by the fit of my clothes if l am gaining or losing.

@Kandae11! It's okay I got you right now. So you will just know whether you are loosing or gaining weight but you can't know the exact figure of your weight through your clothing. Thanks for that

@Treborika I generally stay around a certain weight. But every five or ten years or so I put on a few extra pounds.

That's cool of you. I seldom check my weight. I maintain my weight so with foods intake.
