I saw this a while ago, so I thought I'd post this slide show of real people and their BMIs. You be the judge on how accurate BMI is for gauging if someone is "normal," "overweight," "underweight" or "obese," or "morbidly obese."

    One of the captions was hilarious, there was a woman on a hike. She was "morbidly obese" and the caption said, "she just finished walking up this mountain." Another one? An "obese" person finishing a triathalon. She looked to me like she had maybe 2 pounds to lose. If anything at all.
