    31.0. And I'm not sure what it's supposed to represent healthwise other than progress. Ten months ago, it was 45.
    That's fantastic progress!!

    Middle of my normal range, and it represents a healthy weight for me.

    37.0 (obese) according to Google..yes, I have excess fat which has led to being told I'm prediabetic a while ago. And I attribute my ankles and back hurting a while ago to my fat. I think it accurately reflects my health.

    Slightly above mid-range for my height, despite the fact I'm smaller than average.
    I think it represents that I lift, and am a bit more muscular than the "model" person that the BMI calculation is based on.

    26.3; overweight. I still have some flab left after weight loss, but I've also added inches to chest and legs. No, I don't know think the number tells me anything.

    25 on the nose and I totally agree that it's an accurate picture as I'm rather overweight still.

    19.9 currently. And yes the lower my bmi the lower my glucose number, so it does reflect my health, to some extent. I also have a total cholesterol number in the 160s, triglycerides in the 60s, normal blood pressure etc. And then last fasting test put my (former prediabetic) glucose number in the 80s.

    23 which is towards the higher end of normal for me. I'm working on losing a few pounds yet which would cause a slight decrease, but I don't really pay attention to BMI.

    My BMI is 24 - just 1 pt (or 5.5#) below "overweight" despite having only 8.9%BF, based on hydrostatic testing, at 5'8" & 158# and physical measurements of 42C/33W/37H.

    Still the BMI is currently in the "normal" range and I have never looked or felt healthier in my life.
