Kate Upton is nowhere close to plus size. :pac:
I don't think you can judge somebody on their clothing size as an indicator of weight.
My older sister is a size 10, but is underweight. My younger sister is a size 14, and a healthy weight. I'm a size 12 on top and 14 on bottom, and still have to lose a stone (although personally, I want to lose 2). But tbh I don't give a fcuk if somebody calls me fat. I know I'm still overweight, but I'm quite fit, healthy, and I've already lost more than half of my entire body weight (used to be a size 24 and over 20 stone), so fcuk anyone who wants to call me fat.
BMI IS an accurate indicator. I exercise 7 days a week, for at least 2 hours a day. I do insane amounts of weight training. BMI is still a good indicator for me, and for every other average person out there. Let's not kid ourselves that we're muscle bound, pro athletes here. :pac:0 -

Congrats!
I'm working my way down from a size 24/26, I've reached 18/20 now and still have a good way to go.
BMI is indeed a good indicator, but that's all it is, an indicator. It can give you a first idea that something might be out of line, but it doesn't really ever give you the full picture either.
As for Plus Size, I understand that in the world of fashion and modelling, size 12 and over is indeed regarded as "plus", ridiculous as that may be considering that these are still perfectly average sizes.0 -

Jesus, keep up the good work.
I know over a 12 is regarded as plus sized, but with her measurements, she'd realistically be more like a size 8-10 rather than a 12.0 -

It might be a US size 12 that I was thinking of, not sure.
But even then, I've got clothes at home in at least 4 different sizes that all fit me. I find that size vs actual measurements seems to be very, very brand specific, and the more expensive, the smaller the measurements for the same size.0 -
