    All great replies..I do think that chart is out dated and is more of a guideline but it just takes some people(ME!!) years to stop bothering with the silly thing!

    BMI is a long ton of manure. They don't take into account people that have really large bones or high muscle mass. If it weren't for that and everyone had bird bones and no muscle they might be ok.

    BMI is the most UNRELIABLE method..... i ignore it- it doesnt take account for muscle. yes im big, but i probably have less inches than someone of the same height and weight as me that doesnt take part in physical activity!

    The Army is constantly telling me that I'm overweight. Its all in how you feel about yourself. Just be healthly in the things you do.

    Those BMI charts are antiquated! I'm considered morbidly obese! I know I can drop some more pounds but .....

    Every population based chart will have some outliers because they are designed on averages. Judging by your profile pic you have an above average amount of muscle. Do you really believe that the because you worked hard to put yourself outside the norm, that now makes the norm antiquated?
