Help Needed : Post Your Pictures

[thefatcat]

I'm trying to visualize what differing BMI scores look like through 3D models. If you have a BMI of 23-30, can you please post a picture of yourself and what your BMI is?

This is for an art project.

The thing is that we all have different body shapes and the same BMI can look very different on someone that is built differently. I think that this is one reason why there is quite a wide healthy range.

Also - such things as the amount of muscle that you have and the amount of loose skin that you have - many professional sportspeople have a BMI which translates as "overweight". I used to have an aerobics teacher who was classed as overweight using BMI and she had an enviable figure.

Since BMI is an inaccurate judge of size - you should understand that your project output will be inaccurate.

Other people have attempted to do similar things in the past... There are websites which attempt this - here is one:

There is a page which shows images of people with different heights/weights in comparison. They do not mention the BMI, but since you have the height and weight, you could figure that out yourself. Hope it helps.
