    I ignore it. I've always been told I was overweight because of my petite standing by doctors. I can't change my height. I'd go by how you feel, not by BMI.

    If you're at an extreme - tall/short or super muscular then it won't work for you.
    But the remaining 90% of the population its a fairly effective tool.
    The problem is that people go to the gym twice a week, fiddle with the weight machines and then say BMI doesn't apply to them because they're muscular. When in fact they could do with losing a few pounds.
