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.

@Arachne-qw1vr 4 года назад

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.

@caseykaiser3313 4 года назад

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.

@mariatutunjian3080 4 года назад

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 .

@viviannguyen941 4 года назад

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!!

@jaycewarner422 Год назад

@@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.

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 .

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.

@datsweggybruh8775 Год назад

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.

@MeredithDomzalski Год назад

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

@triflesponge8109 Месяц назад

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.

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 😌👏👏

So im a heavy person and no i dont feel bad just when i knw the facts. I knw im heavy, i can see i have fat. If ppl are are fat, are sensitive to it and dnt like listning and cry for being heavy then they need to go to a therapist to help them overcome their mental insecurities and accpt who they are, if they dont wana accpt who they are then try to improve to be at a point they are happy. Just cos u turn a blind eye towards your own problm. If a person cant handle the truth they need to work on your mental health. This video was needed to show ppl that its ok watever your weight is as long as you can see your healthy. This video shows than two ppl with same weight are not healthy. U cn be 120 pounds n be unhealthy. You can be 190 and be healthy, if its muscle.
