    BMI is not useless at all; it's a much better measure of a person's overall fitness than weight.

    Nah, it's pretty useless. Especially if you're a muscular person.

    muscles, boobs, heavier bones, natural curves..... even at my sexy-as-fark weight BMI thinks i'm unhealthy. my trainer literally took the BMI poster off the wall and binned it in front of me.

    Health insurance companies care about BMI, though it's true it isn't a good yardstick for very muscular people (which I'm not). My BMI of 31.9 (obese) back in September was cited as one reason I was declined for health insurance, in combination with what I thought were minor past health issues. This was actually a huge kick in the butt for me to do something about my weight.

    I pay more attention to body fat %, but I do check in to see what my BMI is. It is now 27.9.

    started at 52.7, it's now 31.6

    and, to quote my Dr. "I know that BMI is a load of bollocks, YOU know it's a load of bollocks - given a free rein I'd put everyone through a Bodpod or Dexa scan and give them a PROPER indication of body fat %age, but... in fairness most people don't have the actual knowledge to understand what the numbers mean - and BMI is an easily calculatable and cheap number we can give them, that points in the right direction."

    I Like my Dr. - He tells it straight!
