Singer Pink is getting beautifully real about her “post-baby body” after discovering that she is deemed “obese”.
In an honest Instagram post the 37-year-old mother-of-two said: “Would you believe I’m 160 pounds (72kg) and 5’3″ (160cm)?”
“By ‘regular standards’ that makes me obese.
“I know I’m not at my goal or anywhere near it after baby two but dammit I don’t feel obese. The only thing I’m feeling is myself,” she added.
Alongside a workout photo, the musician warned others to stay off the scales.

What would obese "feel" like, exactly?
I think they recently changed the range for normal BMI to reflect that the population is larger, which is ridiculous, part of the process to normalise a sedentary lifestyle IMHO. According to BMI my husband is obese - but he is 6'3", with a big, heavy frame but his work is intensely physical, he does yoga 3xs a week, rarely drinks and eats well. And my family is all quite tall but like bean poles so I now fall into underweight even though I too eat well and exercise regularly. It should be used as an indicator but it is certainly not a reliable measure for health and fitness.
