Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 3954071, member: 1646"] BMI is very flawed. That said, if you are in the "obese" category, you are probably at least overweight. If you're body builder or trainer that is freakishly fit and muscular, you know this isn't meant for you. There should be different scales for men/women. But surprisingly, obesity in women is more prevalent than in men. Maybe they should rename the categories. If you read the clinical notes/descriptions overweight sounds like you're fine, and obese isn't that big of a deal if you don't have medical issues. Maybe +30 should become overweight and +35 becomes obese. I fluctuate between 27ish and 34ish. When I've been 27 I've had people tell me to stop losing weight. To make me feel better, I watch "My 600 Pound Life." I feel terrible for those people, but it certainly makes me feel fit no matter what my current weight. [/QUOTE]
