I'm 175 lbs. and 5' 8"
I'm at 27, that's at the Overweight (medium risk) category... I'm content with my weight mainly because I exercise now and feel healthy.


BTW the Create a Meal thing is pretty cool to fool around with.
 
BMI is a joke, use BF%. And NOT from your tanita scale. Get a set of calipers.

It's actually really depressing that the grade schools have switched from BF% to BMI in recent years for their gym class testing... A step backward for the future of America...

BMI doesn't factor in your lean body mass at all, so it does not differentiate between two people who are the exact same weight and height, but are at totally different body fat percentages. With BMI, it is very possible to be completely ripped and be considered "overweight" or "high normal" while they claim that someone with absolutely no muscle mass and a high bf% is "normal" or "low risk". It is a joke, and whoever made it should die a merciless death at the hands of Lou Ferrigno.
 
You people....

BMI is a guideline. It's used because it's very quick and anyone with a scale can do it.

Odds are, if it doesn't apply to you, you probably know this....and STFU with the "well, an NFL linebacker is obese according to BMI..blahblahblahblah..." crap because *news flash* most American are fat and lazy and certainly NOT linebackers.

Sheesh. :roll:
