This is totally silly but fun and sort of eye-opening, too.

You can see what celebrities are the same BMI as you, or as your former or goal weights...

I was once a Queen Latifah, I'm currently a Kelly Clarkson and at my tentative goal I'll be a Beyonce. Which is sort of hilarious to me because she's definitely on the round and curvy side as celebrities go, and yet I'm wondering if 140 might look a bit too thin on me... ahh, the double standards!

That was interesting... I used to be Natalie Portman, now I am Queen Latifa, and I want to be Mariah Carey (never thought I would ever say that!!!)...

I'm a QL too... and hope to end up as Mariah Carey. lol... (That's awful hard for an old deadhead to admit to heheeh)

but, why is it QL (listed with a 25.8bmi) is the largest beautiful woman shown? (at least as far as I could tell by plugging in different weights). I started this journey with over 40bmi. Aren't there some beautiful stars out there with higher bmi's?

Hmmmmm... gonna see if I can figure out who i REALLY am

Thanks for the fun link.

OK, so I just noticed that it they don't have any celebrities higher than 25.8 -- they just give you Queen Latifah for anything more than that. Which is totally lame. Sorry!

Oh well -- the goal weights are still interesting...

I highly doubt that QT and I have the same BMI. I'm barely overweight and she looks a lot bigger.

Hmm, I put in my highest weight of 198, BMI 31- Queen Latifah.

Then I put weight 165, BMI 25.8 - Queen Latifah.

Yeah, it's true... besides the fact that it would be really nice to have people higher than 25.8, I really don't think that's accurate for QL. I think she's totally smokin', by the way, but she looks heavier than that to me.

Wow, that shows you how useless the BMI is. Courteney Cox and I have the same BMI of 24? She is rail thin and I'm still on the chunky side. I'm pretty sure that if you told her she was as chunky as me, that she would hit you in the face with a shovel.

I think all the celebrity weights are off. Courteney Cox is a 24 and QL is a 25.8? There's probably a 50 to 60 pound weight difference between them but the BMI difference is less than 2? I doubt it.

That's okay Chickybird -- according to them I'm QL right now and will never be less than Oprah . But, if I get down to 150 where I was when I was "too thin" I can be Mariah!!!
