At 6'1 225#'s I'm 29.7
I don't regard myself as borderline obese, but according to the chart I am. I know I could lose some weight.

:(

I'm also not saving a bundle on my car insurance.

BMI isn't any good for measuring body fat. I'm 26.9 but lift on a regular basis whereas someone else at my height and weight might never have touched a weight. not really accurate

BMI can be quite misleading. I guarantee none of you would look at me and go "He's kinda fat."

Too bad I'm too lazy to find out my height / weight.

Here's what a really fat dwarft would be though: 114.6 (3'10", 360 pounds).

But my vitals (BP, HR, Cholesterol, ect) are all near the top of the charts (in a good way)

BMI = crap, for anyone decently active or who actually has some muscle on their bodies. I've said it in every BMI thread posted here on ATOT. It's nothing more than a poor indicator of health. Take a look in the mirror fat ass if you want a general health indicator.

Oh and just to actually contribute to the thread, it says I'm a 25.8 at 5'10", 180lbs, which falls under overweight. Before I hit the weights I was 142 on a good day after eating at a buffet and soaking wet. (20.4)
