Women try guessing each other’s weight | A social experiment
This video isn't like anything I have EVER done before, and it all started with a few questions I had.
Why do we allow our weight to control our feelings?
Why do we give the scale so much power?
What does BMI really mean?
Is body fat percentage actually a better indicator of health?
I decided to gather a bunch of women together to run a “little” social experiment to find out how all of these things - BMI, weight, body fat percentage - actually looked like on a woman. And I wanted to see if we could tell which was most accurate. Or would we find out that labels are bogus?
I started planning this video a year ago, and I had NO IDEA how to pull it off. Fast forward to shoot day and we had a 20+ person crew working on it AND we flew out one of the world's best female bodybuilders...from Sweden!!!! So crazy!!!!!!
Parts of this video were extremely uncomfortable to film, but I hope you guys take away the fact that there is so much more to a person than their number.
I have so many people to thank for making this video happen - my amazing director Ryan, my husband Sam, the crew, the Blogifam...but most of all I want to thank all of the brave, strong women for speaking their truths. You all are amazing!

I started planning this video a while ago, and I was very aware of how sensitive this topic was going to be. We needed to find women who were comfortable discussing their weight on camera and we needed to produce this video in the most compassionate way. I didn’t want anyone to run off set crying or upset. I wanted to have an open discussion with real feelings about some real taboo topics. I’m currently reading the comments on here and it seems that the feelings on this video are split 50/50. Some people are moved to tears because they’re incredibly touched…and then others are very upset, saying it was a terrible, pointless video meant to make women feel bad about themselves. So, what was the point? To show that labels and numbers have as much power as we want to give them. They can make us feel bad. They can make us feel good. Or they can just be data points to guide our next steps. But your health, which includes both your mental health, your physical health as well as your happiness is something that cannot be accurately assessed by any number. A number does it’s best to help medical professionals categorize your health as a starting point, but it’s not the entire story. Health really does look different on everyone. This content is meant to make you think. Yeah, it’s uncomfortable, but when did we ever become smarter, better humans by being comfortable all the time? We grow the most when we’re challenged - and I’m talking emotionally challenged too. If this video made you feel a certain way, take a moment to reflect and ask yourself why you feel that way. Can you dig deep and dissect this feeling further? Some of you may find that you need improvement in the area of not letting numbers control your happiness. And others of you may just find that you don’t want a relationship with numbers at all, and that my content didn’t help you achieve that. Both are okay to feel. What's not okay is calling people derogatory names and spreading hatred. I will never allow that here on my channel. Just so you know, each woman was mentally prepped for the shoot and knew that we’d be discussing weight and other sensitive body image topics. Our producer interviewed each woman who was casted one by one and in person, and made sure they were comfortable with the topics before committing to the shoot. The entire Blogifam and the crew was very careful in making sure the women felt good during the entire process, from casting to shoot day to video release. The mental health of each of the women was my first priority.
Fabulous idea!
The information I found most compelling in this video was the different regimes people put themselves under. Im not convinced that you demonstrated what you aimed for in this video. Understanding and acceptance around why people are bigger than others. In fact I saw you make a very clear contrast between that one women who didn't eat healthy or exercise and everybody else. This was heightened in the awkward tension in the room. It was not a good awkward, Casey Ho it was not the elated, groundbreaking awkward you were looking for. And like an every angry post-writer heres what I think is best: Do another group chat and compare lifestyles in a circle. No partners. How do you manage your day, what kind of food do you eat that you feel guilty over, how do you manage that guilt, what hours do you work, what else stops you from being you? Ok now lets look at your weight, toning and a blood sample on how 'healthy' the science says you are... When you look at each other once more, now what do you see? Fat, or a person.
While I appreciate you were trying to do, it didn't seem that way in the video at all. Also another point Cassey, when people are telling you something nicely, perhaps you should listen to them? We all make mistakes and it's okay to accept and apologize for them. Not every comment is about "negativity", sometimes it's just feedback.
I think this is good to bring this up to make us aware , I would give my opinion its a matter of individuals choice and if there motivaited to do this analizaition of what they should really be .
Hey Casey, I really enjoyed the video and hope you continue in making more content like this. A feedback I have is that maybe explaining scientific terms, with more background information. For example, when you brought up fat percentages you only had a number. Though where fat is located on the body is super important. Probably more important then how much fat a person have. For example, a normal weight individual that carry most of their visceral fat in their belly may actually suffer more from type 2 diabetese than their overweight counterpart. But idk if you want to go that deep either cause in the end people will still complain. I watch scientific fitness videos such as from Stephanie buttermore and people still be upset so I guess ignorant is bliss. Bless your heart Casey!!
when they were told to pick a partner with a similar weight, the body builder was like 👁👄👁
I was shocked when the girl with the “toned” body thought that she and the muscular girl shared the same weight range. If I looked at her, I would’ve known that she definitely didn’t weigh anything over 125.
True!

As a dietitian, this was cringey on so many levels. Asking someone how they feel to be categorized as “overweight”… just why? What do you expect them to say?
I expect them to say: YES I AM SOOO OBESE ! HELP 😒🤬😯👊🏽👊🏽
Yeah, hard to watch. How do you feel now? Bad/guilty? Kinda sad
That's the point, you don't expect anything. You ask because you're learning their perspective.
@@Flippy2100 okay then,chuck
@Maya Brenner, exactly
Weird that she tells the 24.5 BMI girl that she's almost overweight but doesn't tell the 19 BMI girl she's almost underweight. They're the same distance (0.5 points) from those respective categories.
Being slightly in the low body fat category doesn’t affect longevity.
That is very interesting
@@kimberlyperrotis8962 its called underweight for a reason: not *healthy* weight.
@@kimberlyperrotis8962 couldn’t you say the same thing about slightly high body fat?
@@dragoncup9099 Not necessarily. BMI fails to account for genetics, and while we know being closer to or in the overweight/obese category is associated with reduced longevity due to gravity putting pressure on the lower bearing joints and greater risk of disease/organ failure for most races, being closer to or slightly (meaning a few pounds) “underweight” isn’t always unhealthy. I’ll use my genetics as an example (I’m a Kinesiology/Nutrition student and undergrad researcher btw, my interests lie in health promotion and racial health and information disparities/interventions). I’m a 5’6, 116-118 lb female (I put a range because body weight fluctuates due to water weight and other factors), so my BMI is usually between 18.7-19.0. By normal standards, I would be considered very close to being underweight, possibly unhealthy. However, what BMI fails to take into account is that I’m a Native American with a long family history of joint issues, high cholesterol and blood pressure, lung issues, substance abuse (not me, but my mom’s mother was especially heavy on them, my mom was addicted to alcohol before she got pregnant with me too), iron deficiency, and obesity. My family medical history has a LOT of cases of joint and mobility issues as we age, so it’s actually healthier for me in the long run if I’m closer to the underweight category (less pressure on the joints). I just have to watch my micronutrient intake. This is also true for many of Asian and Hispanic descent. Now, for someone of African American descent, being slightly (meaning a few pounds) overweight may be a bit healthier, despite their higher mortality rates for obesity (bc most mortality rates are from those in the obese category, rather than a couple pounds overweight). This is because they tend to have less visceral fat (the fat that wraps your abdominal organs) and more nutrient deficiencies. Across most people, though, being a closer to the underweight category than the overweight category is better for longevity, as Kimberly pointed out.
Use me as a “It was a good idea but the execution was horrible” button.
Thank you genius person. A biological woman with 5% body fat would be a walking zombie
Lisa should have done it with women who all weighed the same, or wore the same sizes or something like that, so no one would be left with any hard feelings
I fee bad for the girl who was obese . Everyone else was physically ok ( well, I’m not sure about the 5% body fat ) ... but the other girls for the most part were normal or fit ... there was nobody else like her . Like they could have gone by something else or used better examples . I cringed when they asked the heaviest girl how she felt about being obese on the BMI and she said she didn’t think she was obese and then every other measurement they gave her called her obese again. It wasn’t that it wasn’t true , but it just seemed like she was singled out in this more than the other girls. I also think that the muscular girl and the heavier girl both seemed equally uncomfortable by the person in their weight category .
ramsy420 I think she was a biological woman. Her voice sounded altered by testosterone or steroids , but she did seem to be a woman .
@@TheUnfashionista as I explained, a biological woman with 5% body fat would not be walking around like its nothing. For a biological man it's not a big deal because the essential fat is there. That's why they mentioned essential fat percentages for males and females
Okay Irene is not obese she’s hella muscular-
8% body fat
Not obese but she is overweight.
r/whoosh
yeah, and at 5% body fat....she likely doesnt have her period. Not sure sure if thats healthy or not?
Naturallyashley86 probably not..
this kinda broke my heart. Women are so programed to focus on body weight and size ( Im included).. It was painful to see these women's shining smiles dim more and more as the video progressed. You are all beautiful and amazing.
It was surreal to see
Science = programming?
Health has a defined boundary line. Weight isn't the main factor.
I’m a fan of blogilates yet this was so hard and painful to watch. It just…felt more harmful than helpful. I’m glad I’ve recovered from my ED cuz this definitely would have triggered for past me.
@@jackjack4412 yeah exactly, beauty is a womans primary agency. This stems from biology.
8:38 The bodybuilder is made up entirely of muscle. To be honest, the bodybuilder had one of the most incredible female physiques I've ever seen. I don't believe anyone realized how much work went into having a figure like that, especially as a woman.
It is a ton of work. I'm impressed with her dedication. I still think it's important for people to realize that's not healthy, though, and they didn't really address that. I'm sure it's a risk she knows she's taking, but others should be made aware. It's interesting that they said she was in the "essential fat" category. The problem is, she isn't. They even said that essential fat starts at 10%, so she's below that. She's likely lost her period and has other health effects. I'm absolutely fine with her making this choice for herself. Anyone who gets that far in body building knows the risks and what they're doing. Again, I think her dedication is admirable. Still, it's not great for others to think that this might be healthy.
She’s trans guys lmao so she was male to female
@maddiesconfusedlife9023 Irene the bodybuilder, who at the time of this video was the 3rd best in the world is a biological mother of 3 kids from Denmark! Some men just can’t bare to see women thriving, especially if they are transphobic

Why not

This reminds me of when we were weighed in front of our whole class in Elementary school. It was so degrading, because you were being compared to everyone else. We are all uniquely made. So why are we being compared to others?
Yeah it reminds me to, such bad memories.
Oh gosh the woketard take here. "We are all uniquely made..." Yes but overweight comes mostly from bad food, bad habits, bad choices and its not how we are just made by the highest. Thats what people turn themselves into! Its damaging to the individual and society as a whole. Many countries force their citizens to be more healthy cause its bad for an entire country, when people just let themselfes go, look awful and put stress on the health system. Americans are soft sissies now who wanna be cuddled and hear that being fat is fine and normal and pretty. Its just not and deep down, you folks all know. Whatever happened to self discipline and improving.
I find it absolutely horrifying that any school would do that to literal children, or anyone for that matter. Children are especially vulnerable as their bodies are constantly changing and already have insecurities. I never experienced systematic weigh-ins in school - maybe it was my country or year, I don't know - but I can imagine how scarring it would be for a child. Anyone who says it's for health has skewered ideas of what health really is.
Yep, that is precisely when I began obsessing over my weight🤗 I wish I could sue for emotional damages lmao.
why would they even do this?
The tall black girl seemed so sweet. Idk how to describe it but she just made me feel comfortable when I was watching her. She seemed like someone you could have a conversation with.
I feel like she'd be a good mom idk
Really bothers me how she points out 24.5 is nearly overweight but doesn’t say that 19 is nearly underweight
Agreed. I was surprised no one was called underweight lol yet others are going to be called out for being overweight? Lmao wtf
And I'm most likely a slightly underweight person for my height.
The range for normal and healthy is 19 to 24.9.
@@chericebt4332 let's be honest, overweight people will always be called out more than the underweight sadly. When you're underweight it's called anorexia most of the time, but theres no mental illness name for someone who overeats? In that case I'd rather be called fat than underweight because even when I wasnt underweight I was still called anorexic and it felt worse because I was labeled with a damn mental illness that I didnt have. Plus i always ate more than any "fat" person my age at the time

“According to this you’re obese!” Her body fat is literally 5% how is that obese
I think that was the point to show how BMI and numbers/labels don't mean much alone. However the execution was really terrible.
yo u both clearly dont get that there was weight and body fat categories. they called muscle lady obese because her muscles make her weight a lot they werent saying she was obese based off body fat.
that is the whole point, cassey herself is tryna bash these scaling standards and show how dumb they are as one calls a bodybuilder too fat where as the other calls too skinny
@@katvelyte BMI is a very good indicator for the vast vast majority of the population. It only doesn't work for really hardcore bodybuilders, like in this example. But when people go around saying that BMI doesn't mean anything, for most people that's just not the case.
@@yazzybean People say this, but I feel like the range is a bit too strict still. I'm around 15% bf and have only been working out for a year, and I'm well into the overweight category. No one looking at me would call me overweight.
The muscular woman be spending all her life at the gym just to be called obese lmao this aint it
Kim Seunghun I agree, bmi sometimes portrays muscle and fat differently and inaccurately, but at the same time she only had a 5% body pat percentage. It’s not in my place to judge but I just feel as if perhaps body fat % is more fact based, and she knows that she is healthy and hopefully happy aswell. 😅
bmi is crap !!
Not necessarily. All it means is she has a ton of muscle if her body fat percentage is that low at that weight.
Nobody would call her obese lmao
Are you talking about the people in this episode cause the most muscular is a man and the other too are 120lbs😂
I feel like the yoga girl said it good, “you look good, you feel good, but then when a number is put on it, it might change your mind completely”
Yea that almost made me cry 😭

I felt so bad for the lady in the red pants. Like she was pretty much being shamed but I'm glad the body builder came to her defense. Also the two girls (the tall one and the short one) their bodies weren't even big, they looked perfectly healthy to me
@@offbanks no you can’t be overweight and healthy. Your body is holding extra fat and that isn’t physically good for your body, making you unhealthy. But that doesn’t mean that people who are overweight deserve judgment or unfair treatment.
@@offbanks That's the thing though, that extra wait DOES contribute to health problems. If not now, it will cause strain that over time causes severe issues. What you're saying is similar to a person that smokes but doesn't have cancer yet saying they're healthy. A person with extra weight is at a much higher risk of illness and disease.
Think of the AI. How can we train them without the data. Stop thinking like the hypocritical politicians and regulators.
Yes, the one who was actually obese already knows she has a problem. To not have anyone else heavy like her (a 5% body fat body builder is hardly a comparison) was just setting her up to feel awful.
Same!
Yikes I know I am probably in the “overweight” category. I am 5 feet “4 in, 170lbs. I’d probably cry if I was asked how do I feel about being “obese” or “acceptable” I have been feeling so insecure about it.

@@abbyflows1332 Abby flows let’s do this. We can do it together :)
@@Staykool-aid It's okay! The only advice I can give is try to see your entire self in a full body mirror and see if you ACTUALLY look disproportioned. If you do, just try to eat as healthy as possible and get lots of exercise in there. Even if progress is slow, it'll be progress! I was 145 last year ( I'm 5'0 ) and now I'm 120 and I feel better than ever. That's only 25 lbs in a year and that was just by changing how much I ate. I'm sure you can do it and you have tons of people willing to help you
@@abbywalkur1163 Yes I am aware. I did read the description I am saying what “I” would do if “I”was asked. Get it?
You'd actually be in the "obese" category (5'4" & 190 lbs = BMI of 32,6) - which again, most likely shows how misleading that system is. It doesn't factor in muscle mass, fitness, lifestyle, nothing. Yes, too high body fat levels negatively affect our health, no sense in denying that, but a "healthy" BMI doesn't equal healthy. Mid ED I had a great BMI, but lost a huge amount of muscle mass & could barely function. Whereas now, I'd be classified "overweight" (BMI of 25-26) & in a wayyyy healthier spot than BMI of 20 something me.
That experiment would’ve CRUSHED me
That's probably why they personally interviewed and prepped all the women that agreed to this beforehand 🤷🏽♀️
Severinsen i don't think they knew that they are going to get cold obese or acceptable etc.
fr, my ed is screaming at me even when i’m just ”enjoying” strawberries or trying on jeans and after them not fitting seeing a skinny girl walk by me. i hate myself and i would’ve broken down after that shit
Exactly... It's definitely not a good idea
I've been crushed so it probably wouldn't have effected me and probably just make me work out more

What the heck, Cassie? This is so disgusting coming from a body positivity KZheadr. “How do you feel about being overweight?” What do you think they’re gonna say??
Exactly. I love her designs of clothing and how positive she is but this video is just awful. I get it was for a video but I bet some of these people came home feeling bad about themselves.
I feel like it’s super rude and just wrong. saying to someone “how does it feel to be obese/almost overweight” isn’t really gonna make you feel great, especially saying “acceptable” body fat numbers
It’s so tone deaf and disrespectful. Clearly this woman’s never been fat cuz wtf
you’re so right this video and the way she complains about clothing designs that are perfectly fine have turned me off to any of her content. i have a hard time believing this shit is anything positive
Dude some of these ppl just have to wake up from their sugarcoating dream and step back into reality. The girl with the most bf% was clearly not having it. She knows what shes been doing over the years but still eats bread and sugar. If you sugarcoat things like that itll only get worse. If they feel bad and theyre weak then they arrived at home and just eating all kind of sugar but if theyre strong and woke up they will hit the gym to make them feel better.

I love the bodybuilder, she’s so supportive of everyone, had no bad comments for anyone
Me too ❤
This is particularly fascinating because it's extremely easy to see who should be the same weight as another. There are clearly other fsctors that went into their reasoning. I have two main ideas. One is that their perceptions about their own weights were inaccurate and skewed the results (whether each woman perceived herself as too heavy or too light). The other is that they were more worried about not offending each other during the matching process than actually being correct. Or perhaps it's a combination of both!
Yes, it was fairly easy to guess this. They certainly could have found people where it was less easy though.
@@KatieBellino True! But would that have been more or less interesting? Or just different. I definitely see why they chose who they did, but they could also try more difficult people like you said.

As a 15 year old girl who is very underweight, around 27kg, I find it interesting that they never mentioned anything about being underweight. I try to eat as much as I can while also struggling with some sensory issues and emetophobia anxiety, without thinking about about comparing my body to others. I also haven’t started my period or anything like that yet, and I’m very small for my age (4’8 last time I checked) and I’ve been made fun of a lot. So here’s a message to all my teenage girls out there struggling with body image- Make sure you’re comfortable with yourself, being mindful of health benefits while also focusing on loving who you really are. Thanks for reading my unnecessarily long comment 😂, hope everyone has a great day! ❤
Hey girl! I'm abt to turn 14 and I'm just 31.5 kgs... this made me feel better... thx❤

Wow that is tiny. (Not in a condenscending tone) I'm turning 19 this year and my weight also fluctuates between 49 - 51 kgs at 5'2. I think my ideal weight could be 51 or 52 but i feel fine when I'm 49 or 50 too. Right now i feel like I'm a 50. I don't feel unhealthy but my extended family makes me feel like I'm one meal away from death and are sometimes rude about it, probably because like 4 years ago i used to be sort of chubby (not fat) and then i lost weight because I joined a sport. TMI but i also have really fuller chest so that means I'm probably not unhealthy. I wish people would stop being rude to skinny people, skinny shaming is considered to to nearly not be bad and is kinda normalised.
dont worry about your family, 50 kg at 5'2" is fine and fully within the healthy range! i'm about the same at 5'3" and 48ish kg and my doctors have always said im fine :)
@@merivesi7021 Thank you :)
For someone who is “body positive” this is disgusting. As someone with anorexia this was hard to watch. Absolutely just humiliated most of these woman.
You're body pos or your anorexic? Lol can't be both
exactly. i also have an eating disorder and this is just so hard to watch. you can see these womens face change when they get told they are overweight/obese. i would honestly just start sobbing right then and there. there are so many other ways to show how everyone looks different even at the same bmi even without humiliating these poor women.
You shouldn't have clicked on the video then. If you're triggered,no need to watch.
Sorry to tell you this... Body positive does not mean "tell every obese person they are beautiful and perfect as they are, healthy as a spring chicken and will never die of diabetes or heart disease". You can accept your body and love yourself but still understand that obesity is a deadly thing to contend with. Furthermore if you are that 'triggered' by this kind of video, I would suggest you ... not click on it. It's right in the title what's going on, and it's pretty obvious that might be something you don't want to watch.
The two muscular women definitely knew they didn’t weigh anywhere near the same. People who are into fitness are pretty good at guessing weights.
I agree. Not trying to be rude but I knew from the start she was the same weight as the overweight girl. I think they were trying to prove a point about how you can still weigh a lot but through muscles which is fine
Yeah I think they were just trying not to make anyone else feel bad, as they're quite aware of how they compared to every other girl in the group......This 'experiment' should have been done with women who all weighed the same.

"You are obese. How does this make you feel?" how tf you meant to respond to that
Amy Louise i know right ? Like wtf
I’d just be like yeah I know I am (I actually am, my BMI is 32 but I’m working on losing weight and have lost nearly 40 pounds already). People are all about “fat positivity” and yet they get all riled up about facts like obesity, body fat percentages, weight etc. If people were truly fat positive, they’d be unashamed and proud to show their weight, body fat percentages, obese bmi. But no, they ignore it and say “numbers don’t matter”. The whole fat positivity movement doesn’t realize how much they’re showing their true colors, nearly all of them think being smaller and having no fat rolls is better. A lot of fat positivity models use shape wear or clothes that conceal fat rolls instead of showing them off. They also wear clothes that make them look slimmer or more evenly hour glass shaped. Deep down they all know being obese isn’t good. It’s not healthy and it’s not attractive. Fat positivity is a all a facade to hide the guilt they feel about being obese. I have experienced this myself. You pretend like you don’t care about your size and that you’re confident when you’re really not. I don’t want people to tell me that being obese is ok and something I should be unashamed of. I’m literally hurting my body and taking years off my life. This is not ok.
If u can’t talk ab ur weight than u should’t be in a video ab weight.
Nothing but fear mongering cos insecure skinny chicks buy more crap to keep looking good than happy women who care for health and not looks or body stereotypes.
well apparently she didn't "feel" obese despite nearly half her body weight being pure fat so I also don't know how one responds to that
i know she said that they were prepared for this but you can tell this took a big to their self-esteem when she said that both of the girls in the group were obese yiu can see how her face dropped
Imagine getting trained for long time, building amazing muscular body and being called as "obese" 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
the bmi is a broken system.
It sure is! My young daughter was considered 'obese' as the doctor has written it in her notes! I was floored! Funnily enough, three years later, she looks the same as the average seven year old. It is a crock of BS. Thankfully, she is no longer her pediatrician.
Definitely, I am overweight by BMI standards but I wear size 8 and 10 clothes and a very flat tummy after three children 😠😠😠😠
@@Ali08 If at any point they looked like a 7 year old then the BMI scale isn't for them. BMI is NOT meant for children.
Sigma I am not sure what you are getting at. Just pointing out that it could be incorrect and using my daughter’s experience as a example.
@@Ali08 Okay but it's not meant to be used on children. I don't go around telling people my washing machine doesn't work because I couldn't use it to clean my phone screen.
Irene is literally a muscle, she is not obese nor should she ever be considered that
Brookie Cookie excess weight has health implications no matter what. What makes fat worse is that it affects the organs as well.
Ur Mom but she literally said in the video “I say this in quotes”. Pay attention before commenting
Thats the point of the video. To tell people that bmi does not tell shit about your body
@@vangoghsear1997 Not true. It's only unhealthy if excess fat is carried around the organs. Even sumo wrestlers can gain a lot of weight and still be healthy because their fat is stored under the skin and not around the organs due to their training.
@@violett874 sorry, but thats medically just not accurate. Being over weight takes a toll on the whole System (mostly on the heart and cardio vascular System) it of course also dependes on what u eat and if you do exercise, but it is just not true that fat is just unhealthy when störend nearby the Organs. I would reccomend you ask your family doctor about whatever you want to know, they have so much knowledge about that topic than I do.
It was kinda nice seeing the rude yoga lady being taken down a leg when she found out the super sweet nutritionist had less body fat:) the body builder was also so graceful about weight and being compassionate to the gal who was her weight, it was very nice to see!! I’d love to see more videos like this!

@@nicholewojtanowski43 💯
How was she rude..?
I amused myself by stopping the video when you asked them to partner up and then put themselves in order from lightest to heaviest. I got every pair right and also the order of the pairs but I’m not proud of that. It just means I am in the habit of doing this judging of other women’s bodies. There again, if I had been part of an experiment to put myself in weight order with a group of women I would have put myself at the heaviest end without hesitation. That way I wouldn’t have had the embarrassment of having declared someone heavier than me (rude!). We don’t do that in polite society. Plus I’d have had the feel good factor if eventually told to move down the line a bit but that would have come at the cost of feeling bad for the person told to take my place. The way the experiment was actually done, I’d have frozen; completely incapable of “accusing” someone of being as heavy as me! Our society definitely views women as better if lighter. In many different business meetings I have noticed the larger women are never asked for their opinion and if they try to offer it other people often look at the floor whilst the larger woman speaks. Once you notice it you can’t stop seeing it. Women in a shopping mall will avoid eye contact with very large women but exchange smiles with someone similar to them. Pubs or anywhere with no defined queue will serve the smaller ones first. We really need to change how our society views an individual’s worth. Every single one of us has the same value and the same needs in life.

Ebony is a prime example of why we don't use the bmi chart anymore. She's quite clearly NOT overweight and is just tall with large set bones and higher muscle. We must start using body fat and physical tests to measure health and not an arbitrary number.
Idk how the two “fitness ladies” ever thought they weighed the same
Right there was obviously a huge weight difference I am a guy and knew that buff chick outweighed me.
Myles Anderson VERY clearly there’s no way she was like I weigh as much as this lady who is 4 inches taller than me and has 20x the muscle mass I have
@@anikareilander6927 Right she was even taller than her wtf? I could have guessed all their weights within 20 pounds.
They were too scared to line up with the people they actually thought were the same weight as them. They tried to ignore the elephant in the room by going with height instead. It was quite obvious who would weight the same, even to them.
the way i could basically tell who was gonna get paired up with who when they were lined up, even before they said their answers were wrong
I love how Irene naturally stands with her hand on her hip like she’s modeling for bodybuilding. Queen.
I love how confident she is, even though all of the women were fairly uncomfortable.

I really appreciate this video. I’ve always been a numbers girl. Obsessed at times. This is a great reminder to be active and do what feels right for yourself. ❤
No hate, but I think this just made "overweight" women feel really uncomfortable. You can see how they smiled at the start, but then their smiles faded away😓
Lily Chou Chou how is she body shaming?????
Weight shouldn't be a taboo topic. It may be disheartening to be faced with those numbers but we should build ourselves in order to be able to accept them and work on improving ourselves. Mentioning those numbers in the video is not body shaming, it's just forcing them to face the state their body is in from a medical prespective and how those numbers shouldn't affect the perception they had on their bodies since the beginning. Because they are still the same people before doing this video.
I felt for them. I would have been crushed having to do this :(
Stephanie Weston, Good thing that Casey’s producer gave them all a run down of what was going to happen and made sure everyone’s mental health before, during and after the video was good
@@darkness-chan4861 I agree. If even talking about weight is too hard then theres a big problem
People need to realize height is a major factor. Short and cubby is often the same weight as tall and slender.
I think that fact got lost in translation here.

I was a bit sad because I saw the body builder and the obese lady were only 5 pounds bigger than me, I’m 5’9 and a half though so I look ok I’m still trying to lose weight though

It’s heartbreaking that women, even young girls, are being labeled. “Underweight” “Overweight” the top priority is to be healthy, someone who may be obese could have a decent diet, but their body just doesn’t process food the same, so it’s easier to gain weight. All in all, it comes down to health, not weight. Each and every person in this video is beautiful in their own way and they deserve to be recognized for that. Love you all, stay positive

muscle weighs more than fat, that's why BMI is trash

@@Sapphireia Body fat is not good just because you are in the healthy range of BMI. It has a number of negative health effects regardless of your BMI. Studies from Norway show that about half of all woman who have a normal BMI are fat if you measure their body fat percentage. "An increased amount of fat on the body has several known negative effects on various health values. These are direct effects that occur because fat cells secrete things that we do not want too much of, but it becomes easy too much if the amount of fat mass becomes too high. This is especially true of fat that is stored more around the abdomen which is more common in men which can then also explain the differences that exist between men and women in the curves for body fat. Instead, an increased amount of muscle mass, or fat-free mass, usually has several positive effects on health. Both the risk of accidents and the metabolic health are clearly improved if you increase the amount of muscle mass in people. We also now know that muscles, like fat cells, function as organs in the body and can affect your health through the secretion of various hormones in the blood." tyngre.se/artikel/hur-muskler-och-kroppsfett-korrelerar-med-dodlighet/ Norway: traningslara.se/50-av-alla-tjejer-och-kvinnor-ar-overviktiga-trots-normalt-bmi/

The BMI is trash because it doesn’t differentiate between fat and muscle it only thinks about weight and height mean while if you look at the body fat % it’s 5%
Andy VFD yeah, it’s just ridiculous because overweight has become an insult (even tho it shouldn’t be)

I'm 5'10" tall. When I was in my ED phase the BMI always categorized me as obese. Go figure.
I'm late but I think this video is literally what everyone goes through either in their heads by comparing themselves or in fitness/with athletes. These numbers are just a way to get a ball park idea of what's happening with your body. It doesn't necessarily reflect the health or fitness of people. Overall, great video concept and a great group of women who are also knowledgeable about the fact that the uses behind these numbers are inconclusive/not reliable 😌👏👏

Ebony and Celeste both seem very healthy, so seeing them being classified as "overweight"… I completely understand how they feel about being "guilty"mpg their BMI despite looking healthy and pretty average. the BMI system is trash, if you're struggling with body image, don't look into that, it'll likely make you feel worse and it's usually inaccurate.

I feel like this is how an eating disorder can start Edit: I went through an eating disorder and I know there are more issues than just people comments on ur weight or wanting to be skinny.
This is how an eating disorder starts
You're not entirely wrong- however eating disorders manifest from more than just negative or weight shaming experiences. What many don't realize is that much of an eating disorder has to do with a person's chemical, neurological makeup and personality traits. It is EXTREMELY extremely complex. I've had some knowledge based off some people in my life battling ED. For many, it is also a control thing. Controlling what goes into their body, being quite particular about certain things. Some people end up terrified to eat certain foods. It's not all about entirely starving yourself. For others, they may just not be able to make themselves eat enough to accommodate for how much they're burning during exercise. Additionally, ED can stem from various trauma at a young age. Overall I would just like to point out, there's many misconceptions with eating disorders!
Maddie Brown yes I agree and that's why I said can not the only caise
It is. It’s comparing you body to others, it’s the opposite of what you want to do. My ED started when by brother would comment on my body and what I ate, he didn’t mean to but it happened. I pray for those women, I hope this didn’t effect them to much.
i know i was hoping i'd be the lightest if i was there.
why did u tell the one with a bmi of 24.5 she is in the almost overweight zone (25> is overweight) and then u did not tell the girl with a bmi of 19 she is in the almost underweight sone (18.5< is underweight) this is ridiculous. either tell them both or neither one of them
THANK you
👏👏👏
ikr i was thinking the same
I wasn't really pleased about that. I think that the comment just illustrates how being close to overweight is 'worth a comment' but being close to underweight is 'unremarkable'. That left a bad taste in my mouth...
I was thinking the same... Seems like being skinny is more accepted among women (and maybe even among men). I'm offended
"I personally don't consider myself, like, obese" yeah, well, you're 44% body fat with a BMI of 36, so yes, you're obese, whether you 'identify' as such or not.
With so many morbidly obese people shows, I feel as if people forget you’re obese long before you get to that stage; those people on the shows are practically dying, they are VERY far gone.
The delusion of these people is frustrating sometimes, but I think they genuinely don’t realize how heavy they really are especially when family and friends are enablers.
Just shut up
5% bf even for a man is absolutely insane, so for a woman to manage it is even more impressive. Props to her for constructing a top tier physique.

the "almost overweight" girl was actually in the overweight zone they did her a favour by saying "almost overweight". You got it wrong buddy
Labrovy Hakkwa then why were they telling other overweight girls that they were overweight and not almost??? That makes no sense. She isn’t considered overweight either! She’s normal because of her height. And I’m not your buddy 😊
Labrovy Hakkwa OML no they weren’t! Do you know how a BMI scale works?!? It compares your height to your weight, and it doesn’t know the difference between fat and muscle, she was not considered overweight! Yes she was very close, but she wasn’t, she was still in the normal region.

@Caiti M It's easy to get stuck into thinking your lifestyle habits are okay. If she decides to be unhealthy with her body it's her body, and because she's not mentally unwell nor arguing or advocating for people to be obese, it is her problem and those close to her, not others or yours.
Me too
At least she was honest, unlike those 2 other bigger girls
When they told ebony and Celeste that they were overweight my heart literally sank because what could have been something that they weren’t worried about is now prevalent to them.
The fat girl knows she is fat. if she didn't know it before its great that she knows it now.
Especially when Ebony is objectively not obese.
So? They are overweight. That is a fact. It doesn't mean they aren't beautiful. But they are over weight.
