Under new government guidelines, people with BMI's of 25 to 29.9 are considered overweight, while those with BMI's of 30 and above are considered obese. Those with BMI's of 18.5 or less are considered underweight.

5'10 and 155. Perfect weight

I'm the same... but I always wanted to be more around 170 w/ muscle ... but according to the BMI calculator, that would put me near overweight... what's up with that ?

Not anymore. 172lbs this morning...

You didn't define what you consider overweight so I said yes. I would not consider myself fat but I am not at the weight I want to be. Or perhaps I am not as in shape as I want to be. Whichever perspective you want to take. Regardless, I still said yes, I'd rather be hard on myself than easy on myself.

I voted no, even though I'm probably "overweight", but only by maybe 10lbs. I'm not fat by any stretch of the imagination.

BMI does not take into account bodyfat or body mass.
