Jason E., you need to relax. I'm six feet tall and weigh 210. Here's my profile on Model Mayhem: http://modelmayhem.com/pics.php?id=366845 I come from Germans and Danes with heavy, dense bones and big muscles. When I'm working out a lot I tend to gain weight; when I'm less fit I actually weigh less. Women lie about their weight all the time, and I find over and over again that men have no concept of what women really weigh. Oh, and for the record, the BMI is bullshit and puts me about 1.5 points shy of obese. Oy. Jason E., you need to relax. I'm six feet tall and weigh 210. Here's my profile on Model Mayhem:

Which I should have been, sorry. As a matter of fact, she's about twice as large as a regular person of her size, her girth is (even with the corset) larger than her chest should be; so "morbidly obese" quite fits her I'd say. The thing is that the BMI might be off by a bit for people who do a lot of sport, but what "overweight" and "obese" stands for is "increased risk of weight-related illnesses", which is a statistical fact (and yes I know you can skew statistics, but skewing might range from putting her between "obese" and "incredibly morbidly obese", certainly not "normal"), and the exact amounts of overweight the different names stand for is a matter of definition only.

Myself I did a lot of sports for some time, built up a lot of muscle with 5+ trainings a week for over two years - and still I was "normal". Top end of the spectrum of course, but still normal. Then I stopped doing sports and put on 20-30 lbs - and it was all fat :) I can see it everywhere ;) So yes, the BMI is skewed a bit, muscle is heavier than fat and all, still it's not that far off. And putting yourself in a corset like the middle picture of this post doesn't make you slim - it only makes you _look_ slim, that woman is still overweight underneath :) My comment was a bit overly drastic, and yes of course, overly athletic people come off worse with the BMI.

One addressed this: I don't think men know how much women really weight most of the time, because women are not telling -most of the time. An average-looking woman who weighs 140 pounds, if asked, will fudge and say she's 120. So the guy who she told will think a woman who weighs 140 must look bigger than the woman in question. Over a few episodes, its no wonder men think those Playboy models really are 5'11" and weigh 110 pounds as printed. I can believe Pippa weighs 190. She dresses well, too.
