tedburns - as others have already alluded to, people could be lying through their teeth. After giving your poll some thought, it's really ridiculous... one person already told you she/he lied. Wonder how many others have lied.

What's funny actually is that I clicked on "normal" weight before I clicked on the link you provided. After, I calculated my BMI (according to your link) I saw that it was in the slightly overweight category. Now, had I not told you this, you would not have known that I or anyone else had lied or not. This is the internet... a person or many persons could easily lie and you would never know. Hence, the results will tell you nothing.

Respectfully, d4s

Any poll relies on the good faith participation of the population it surveys and not people who lie.

It is obvious that some group here 'stacked' the UNDERWEIGHT category, if not others.

I am through trying to contribute positive and truthful insight into this 'community'. There are a lot of sick people here in more ways than sleep apnea. I kind of feel sorry for those pathetic 'creeps'.

You won't be hearing much if anything from me in the future. I have better things to do with my time.

Despite the foregoing, I am indeed thankful for much that I have learned here.

Goodbye!

You are kidding, right? Just what "positive and truthful insights " have you offered? Some outdated link that people objected to so you got offended?

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
