Take a look at the right picture in my avatar and tell me...

Why am I still smack dab in the middle of the "Overweight" category of the BMI chart?

Sheesh, I'd be a toothpick if I ever hit the healthy box ;)

    BMI is stupid. It's because of your muscle. My coworker is a ripped body builder and BMI says he is obese.

    BMI is the stupidest thing on the planet.

    Lou Ferigno should be dead due to Obesity based off his BMI.

    BMI was created years ago when mostly everyone that was healthy was rail thin. It has not been changed. Don't worry about BMI.

    I agree that it's certainly outdated in certain situations and there is no way I'm dropping another 20 lbs LOL

    BMI doesn't take muscle into consideration...
