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.0 -

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 27.9.0 -
8 months ago, my BMI was 38.1 and today it's 29.2. No longer obese! Yeah!0

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!0 -
