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.
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!

Ooooh, this sounds interesting!
yay first
and hey to everyone
Saw the title and clicked immediatly. This is a topic I can relate to so badly
Yellow Leemon what did u think?
blogilates Really eye opening. This makes me feel so much better about myself. Thank you so much for making this video, Cassey
I would feel so uncomfortable but it’s Cassey so I would do it 😆 love you Cassey!
This is the earliest I’ve ever been, 1 view and 5 comments😂😂
I needed to see a video like this so bad omg. Thank you!!!
At first I thought this was a video from Cut/ Jubilee. I enjoyed this though, it was new and refreshing.
This reminds me very much of Cut, and I love this type of content. It’s really interesting…
That girl in leopard print is my ideal body type that I want to have. I love her!
Mine is probably Paloma (blue shirt, Grey tights)
where did the audio go I can’t hear what they are saying
havent even watched yet but oh boy, i know this is gonna go downhill
Guys please motivate me..
One like = one day of working out💕
I really wanna get fit now… and I have no motivation at all…😭
Ppl are always surprised how much I weigh I don’t look like my weight
Irene should watch game changers! Chicken doesn’t help bodybuilding and general exercise
Sophie mills wait chicken doesn’t help with general exercise?
I relate to this so much, I judge my body compared to what I want to look like. As Korean American I look at Blackpink and Twice and think why am I not that body type, but then I look at my frens who are even farther from what my “ideal” for myself I’d and I just see how ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL THEY ARE, and I wonder why do I judge myself so much. I dream of a world where every body type is TRULY 100% CELEBRATED as BEAUTIFUL. 💜💜💜
This reminds me soooooo much of “Cut” 💀💀💀💀
The music is a little loud and hard to hear their answers to the questions.

Really
REaLlYYYY
do y’all think you weigh the same WTF
can we get 5000 subscribers with no videos? I was so confused about this 2 😂
This video was uncomfortable to watch and I wasn’t even there, so much respect to them for being able to talk about the topics that are definitely not easy to discuss 💓
They were so brave!
Ngl I was uncomfortable throughout most of the video especially when they started placing the labels and numbers. It made me feel less of what I am worth because of how I weigh.
