what information that number, alone, does NOT provide:
& most importantly, it cannot decide if you are healthy or unhealthy.
what else that number needs to help it judge your health:
let’s say all these factors end up in optimal ranges. you are physically at a “healthy weight.”

you girls make me forget what song is playing. ♥
