Just to make it clear, there's a long way from a BMI of 26 to a BMI of 30+ which is obesity. The average female BMI in USA is 26,7. And it seems likely that the pro-ana site you visited tried to tell you your weight is worse than it actually is, 26 can be a healthy BMI for some people, especially if you exercise regularly and got a good amount of muscles.
its probably the same number-wise but they use different words to make it sound worse....anyways dont go to those sites!!!!!!?
Obese and overweight aren't that far apart.. D:
I don't think they are making you look fatter than you are, not all charts are standard, so different outcomes are possible.
The best way to find out how your weight is doing is to talk to your doctor, ignore online calculators because many things need to be held in conideration besides height and age.
Try not to visit those ana sites, if you want to lose weight just eat more greens and less whites.
