Two out of three Americans are "overweight" or "obese"--a measurement that is determined by a 200-year-old algorithm, the BMI. Unfortunately, the BMI doesn't take into account a healthy lifestyle or a muscular figure.
What's your number? Submit your picture to be added to the ranks of those who think the BMI is kind of bunk.
This BMI project is brought to you by @sarahannelloyd and @mshannabrooks, a pair of writers living in Seattle.
We’re big fans of healthy eating, exercise, and taking care of the most amazing machine ever—the human body. We’re not big fans of being put in numeric boxes that are outdated and body-shaming.
