important, and sometimes a wake up call for some people. If it helps one person, then good post.

21.3
Note: before people point this out. BMI won't apply to you if you are a bodybuilder type person.

wow, these things are fucked up, my bmi is 31 which says I'm Obese.
I'm 5'9 and 210lbs. I would need to get to 165lbs to have a high normal BMI, which at this point I would look like a cancer patient.

Doesn't really apply to any athletic person at all. They are all about the money (Diet books, insurance tables, etc.). This takes nothing into account about lifestyle at all. I would stick to a BF% scale or a caliper test for now as a measure of health, from the outside. Otherwise get blood and stress tests if your concerned about the inside.

I'm also 5'9" and actually aim for about 165. I have some muscle on me too. Unless you're the most ripped person in the world, you may not be obese, but overweight seems likely.

I'd go 90% ripped 10% overweight. But the muscle is what totally warpes your BMI.

yeah, im 6'4" and my BMI is 34. im definitly not obese. I am overweight (which i am working on), but i have a sick dense body structure. To be a 25 bmi which is the highest in the "healthy" range, i would have to weigh 205 lbs. When i was a senior in H.S., i weighed 225 and was ripped (like 6% body fat. I too, would look like a cancer patient.

This is true but you have to be particularly athletic for it to apply to you. I play sports 1-2 times a week and this isn't enough for BMI not to be accurate.
26.1 - Borderline overweight

Or another leg.
It puts me at obese (36.2). I am way overweight, but not obese. There are better measures by the way. Some of which I will be doing today( and posting) since our Thanksgiving weekend is over and it's straight on through till Christmas.

Obese is such a morbid word but scientifically obese isn't that fat.
