I wonder how many people lied?

Also people need to learn the difference between being fat and overweight. Right now I'm around 220 pounds(15.5 stone) and 6'2, this according the BMI makes me overweight and far too close to obese. However during the summer when I'm not doing as much sport (read rugby) I loose a whole heap of weight and while the BMI then says I am a normal weight I feel far weaker and far less healthy.

This is why I hate these kind of tables which classify people, there are two many variables, you're much better off using a body fat analysis as a way of judging if people are fat or overweight.

I believe most people knows this about BMI everyone has different conditions that does not make them overweighted etc. And when it comes to Body fat anlyses 9/10 people have not checked that ( i agree though its better if you want to judge ).

Although if you want an heavy overlook on peoples "fat" conditions BMI is an ok way to see at least something.

Ps: I wish i could write as good in english as swedish i always feel like a 10 year old when writing in english. Hard to get your real message through.

You wouldn't call Hulk Hugan obese, but going by BMI he is.

I'm 15 years old, 5'10.5'' (Five feet, ten and a half inches and for those who use metric, roughly 1.78 meters) and I'm only 135 pounds.  I'm in a weight training class at school to gain muscle mass now, but yea right now I'm a skinny SOB.
