Why BMI?

I'm curious why the weight tracker also draws a curve for BMI.  Unless your height is changing, BMI and body weight are perfectly correlated, right?  Isn't the BMI curve redundant, i.e. aren't the two curves identical?

Oh, it's not that I *mind* that it's there, I just wonder what it's there for.

Hi there -

We are working on updating the trackers, and one of the changes we are making is that members will be able to remove that chart, and add it back, as they wish.  Will that help?

Thanks,
Emily
