Aug 19, 2017 · I am 5'9 (around 175cm) and 132lbs (~60kg) - estimated BMI around 19.5 and normally size small/ size 4 in women's clothing (if this helps).

You cannot drop weight from just one area of your body. You cannot lose belly fat without losing weight. Sounds like your muscles aren't big enough to have a "healthy bmi" with low bf% so... Lift heavy, to get bigger more defined muscles and keep doing what your doing to burn the calories. You might even gain weight from the lifting.

Then I had kids (including twins). Even though I had a normal BMI the doctor advised me to lose a few kilos due to the excess weight around my middle. Now I'm at a low very low BMI but tummy measurement hasn't shifted. I guess I'm really just venting. I want to think I'm not alone.

Hi, I am looking for advice for my dad who is almost 60, has a low BMI (possibly underweight) and very high cholesterol. He finally went for a check up a few months ago and has very high cholesterol, was put on 40mg statins for 3 months. Statins lowered his cholesterol but he is now pre diabetic (with symptoms).

So I'm fat, obese on the BMI scale, and as such I'd expect my heart rate to be at the higher end of the expected, 60-100 average resting heart rate. Using a consumer grade monitor over the last week, mine sits in the 50's (53 as I write this from my office).

With a low BMI and stil dissatified with your body composition dieting to lose more weight might not be the solution but training to add some muscle while maintaining weight might well be. Cardio is not the holy grail for fat loss.

As an example if at your height the ideal weight was 140, that would refer to medium framed, a large framed person's ideal weight at that height would then be 154 (140*1.10), while a small framed person would ideally weigh 126 (140*.9), so the one with the smaller frame may be on the low end of BMI, while the medium framed would be in the ...

My daily food intake is often slightly below 1200 and I have no problems closing the diary. No complaints from MFP. Maybe because due to age, height, and weight I have a BMR of 837, BMI:20.4 and TDEE 1009. These values were not estimated by MFP but …
