Now as for your "massive" comment......
I guess I don't understand why you're objecting to the use of BMI. In your case, the BMI range of "normal/healthy" provides a reasonable range of target weight values. In fact, your target range agrees quite nicely with your physician's recommendations. And yet you "feel" that the BMI numbers are both "too low" and "too high". Could you provide some "data" to back up this "opinion"?

Also, FWIW, you were the one who alleged "massive" thighs. If you're that proud of 'em, post a picture .
