I don't know what your title has to do with this thread, but either way, I don't buy into the whole BMI thing at all, it completely ignores muscle mass and bone density.

According to BMI measurements, I am obese. At 5'6" I should weight around 150 lbs. As a body builder, with a naturally dense skeletal structure, I actually weight ~175lbs, yet my body fat percentage is very low and I'm pretty fit. According to BMI, the whole England Rugby team is obese!
