African American BMI Higher?? - Help

Oh...thats sweet...It says that 178 is a normal weight for me.  I expect that if I get to 180 and then have a tummy tuck and breast life....and under arms done...I will be at around 160 when I am done. The calculator says that my goal weight should be 164.

i'm 5ft 4in and weigh 158 and have been a solid 8 and sometimes 6 since i was 165 in september. i thought same thing about looking sick if i were a single digit girl. but, i look great! my body is strong and muscular due to me hitting gym 4-6 times per week since my surgery. i definately agree with the wt training! it will change your shape for sure!

Is this the link?

Yes, I think so because it references the original article/study. If I kept my weight goal at 151 and under I would still have a healthy BMI. I like that of course, but we'll see. The original article is from:

Cross-validation of generalised body composition equations with diverse young men and women: the Training Intervention and Genetics of Exercise Response (TIGER) Study. Andrew S. Jackson, Kenneth J. Ellis, Brian K. McFarlin, Mary H. Sailors and Molly S. Bray. British Journal of Nutrition (2009), 101: 871-878.

Thanks!
