My doctor called me fat. My tests show otherwise

@clomar My only assumption is that the OP didn't leave out crucial information about her personal or family history. As for inserting myself between the OP and her doctor, no, I did not. If the doctor had prescribed some medication or recommended some further testing that hadn't been done yet and I was telling her to ignore her doctor's recommendations then yes, that would be a problem. But the testing is all done, the results are back, and unless she's left out some crucial information, there's nothing else to be done between her and this doctor right now anyway.

@dawn16 Right track to not get a preventable disease? BP and heart rate can only help so much. Hell, I even have a lower heart rate than her and I'm a fatass

@little96 I mean I agree with this fully, but BMI isn't a measure of health inside the body, but compares weight to height and correlates to BF%

@little96 Well I mean, your doctor is calling you obese because your bmi states that you are, it's not an opinion, it's a fact. Obviously you can still be fit, but that's not too say there aren't downsides of being obese that maybe haven't shown up yet.

@dawn16 Have you looked at a chart with her height? She would have to be 170 lbs to be in the obesity range.

@dawn16 I thought that your bmi had to be 30 or higher to be considered obese?
