I just had my annual blood work and biometric screening for my HSA bonus and lost out on $100 for my BMI being 25
Now, they weighed me in my shoes, sweats, a shirt and my hoodie but F that!!
I made another appt for Monday and I’m wearing my speedo underneath my sweats and if the weight doesn’t get me under 25, I’m dropping trou, no question

what has changed besides more people being fat? fat is still fat. anything above 18% body fat is well....fat.
Anything above 18% is fat? At 5’9”, 149lbs, my BMI is 22 which is in the healthy range and I don’t consider myself fat.

This chart is correct . But I’m now married with 2 kids, zero fricks given.

22 BMI =\= 22% body fat
If you were 5'9" 149lbs at 22% body fat I'd ask for a picture because I have no idea what that would look like.

I've had a dexa scan which said I was obese. I've had another 40ish lbs lighter that said I wasn't.

Old studies do, too. And middlish age studies do, too.

Well, NIH considers you in the healthy range of BMI - which is a ratio of weight:height, NOT even an estimate of body composition.
That how these discussions go wrong. Many professional athletes are clinically obese using BMI guidelines. Extra weight for height, beyond a certain point, is inherently dangerous regardless of the fitness level of the person.
If person A is a 6'2", 215 pound football safety, obviously that guy is likely to be "healthier" than person B, a 6'0" 190 pound, doughy computer programmer who eats like crap. But, the bigger man's heart, endocrine system, ligaments, etc., are all under more stress than they would be at a lower weight.
BMI isn't about body composition, fitness levels, bone density, genetics - it is just about risk management associated with weight (either too high or too low). Obesity, regardless of body composition, is a red flag/risk factor for various ailments.
For some good news, it is better to be slightly overweight (not obese, just high of a 25 BMI) than slightly underweight.

This should be the top reply for every single thread that BMI gets mentioned. Treat this post like the babe thread rules where it gets posted in the OP every time.
