re: What is your BMI?

BMI is a waste because it takes doesnt take muscle mass in to consideration.
ETA: 5'10 198lbs = 28.4 BMI. I wear size 32 jeans and am almost obese....sounds about right.

Normal" BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9. So at 6'-3", you'd have to weigh (approx.) between 148 and 200. I got mono my freshman year and dropped to ~165#, making my BMI 19.6 (normal).
Yeah - anyone under 5' even or over 6'2" needs to do a lot more analysis - again, the "mushy middle" it is likely to be a more accurate metric. But, seriously, a 6'3" female at 165 will be rail thin and still have a BMI high of 20 (which is closing in on middle normal).
Likewise, a mature 6'3" male under 200 pounds is going to start to look sickly - unless he is naturally very, very lean (think swimmers and soccer players at that height) - for comparison's sake, Michael Phelps is 6'4", and just under 200 pounds, in competition shape - and I guarantee he drifts over 200 pounds off-season - and he's scarecrow thin.

I'm 6 ft 1 and weigh 210 pounds and got 27.7 which is overweight and almost considered obese. That is insane.

Body fat % is a much better measurement.

Tap the brakes - you would have to be 228 to be considered obese at 6 feet, 1 inch - that would be almost a 10% increase in your weight - while I agree with you that BMI tends to overstate the problem on a tall person, and, perhaps understate the problem on a short person - if you were not active and 228 pounds, even at 6 feet, 1 inch, you might have to ask yourself some tough questions - particularly as you got older.

29 it was 43 about 5 months ago. Have lost 25 pounds and 3 inches since the 1st of the year. I did it the old fashion way of commitment and exercise. Not thru cheating with a sleeve or gastric bypass surgery.

Right on the threshold of normal weight & overweight.

I used to run about 25 or 30 miles a week and had pretty large thighs. I'm 6'-5" (like most OTers) and weighed about 210#. That put my BMI right at 25 and at the borderline between "normal" and "overweight". I don't know if I have extraordinarily large or dense bones, but at 210#, I'm a LONG way from being "fat".
I'm about the same, but OT midget at only 6'4". I was also borderline overweight, and I'm pretty damn skinny.

28..just had it done last month for ins.

So, at 5'11, I'd have to be between 133 and 178lbs to be considered normal? I would be passing out if I weighed 133. No way would I be able to live at that weight. That's skin and bones
Mine is 25.1 now

You want to see some honesty start a thread asking what people's body fat % is. Amazing how many people here are under 8%.
I always laugh at that bc Chris Hawkins was lean as frick and still had like, 7-8%.

I'm an inch shorter and 5 lbs lighter. That measurement is a crock of shite. (Not saying you're lying, just that standard is crazy).
Body type should be considered, no?
