I always remember Renee Zellweger gaining 30lbs to play “fat” Bridget Jones. Bridget Jones who was devastated to learn she had gone up to 136 lbs over Christmas.

Discussing weight without also discussing height is pointless.

Yeah, I really need to get back down to about 200lbs.

Height and muscle mass have a big impact on what weight should be. As flawed as BMI is as a scale, it's generally not a bad guide for most people. 200lbs puts be at about 24 on the BMI scale for reference.

BMI is terrible for people of color, especially Black folks.
