seriously, there can't be many people who fall into the healthy weight category. it takes no consideration for frame size or muscle.

BMI is bollocks. It bears no scientific relevance whatsoever.

My BMI used to be very good, right around a 17.5 to 18. That was for the last several years. Since then I retired from the USAF, quit smoking, been diagnosed with hypoglycemia, and got fat. I am still fairly fit, except I now am the proud owner of a big old belly!

Mine is in the overweight category, 87Kgs for 1.85m, but my body fat ratio is only 13% because of muscle bulk (weighs 4 times that of fat).
So I think BMI is not a good indicator.

14 months ago my Body Mass Index was 30.29.
I decided to change my lifestyle. The results are amazing.
My Body Mass Index now is 20.97.
