    I am 6'2 and 255. My BMI is 32.7 which is considered obese. To be a normal BMI I need to be 7'1. So, what I get out of that is I am not tall enough......eventually you guys will get the joke......

    I have always been too short, but with the new BMI standard I now only have to grow 6 inches to be normal!

    lol. Yes, I have the same problem. If I measure myself wearing heals my BMI is close to perfect. So maybe I should do that all the time.
