The BMI was introduced in the early 19th century by a Belgian named Lambert Adolphe Jacques Quetelet. He was a mathematician, not a physician. He produced the formula to give a quick and easy way to measure the degree of obesity of the general population to assist the government in allocating resources.Jul 4, 2009 anyone 5 feet four and past 110 pounds is overweight a BMI of 25-30 overweight and obese are not the same
If I were to weigh 121 lbs I would have to fast certain days and eat very little. I am not willing to do that because being a women I would lose my periods and it could cause infertility. I have been that weight and didn't have periods for 2 whole years.
My grandmother has anorexia nervosa and I'm the only person who knows

According to the BMI you are not overweight at 5’4 until you weigh 146. So yeah she is overweight but she wouldn’t be if she was 121 pounds.

Okay. But she still looks drastically thin.
