What it doesn't take into account is people who are body builders who are all muscle so I consider the BMI to be meaningless.

</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>People who are overweight or obese are at higher risk for chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol.

Anyone who is overweight should try to avoid gaining additional weight. Additionally, if you are overweight with other risk factors (such as high LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, or high blood pressure), you should try to lose weight. Even a small weight loss (just 10% of your current weight) may help lower the risk of disease. Talk with your healthcare provider to determine appropriate ways to lose weight.

About what I figured....I could stand to lose a few pounds, but really more than that I just need to get in the habit of working out more often again.

Here's a question, how do I have a higher BMI than you?

Here's a question, how do I have a higher BMI than you?

because most of the time you are full of shit?

 

[MolGenBuckeye]

Your BMI is 23.7, indicating your weight is within the normal range for adults of your height.

Sounds about right...should drop a bit over the summer.

 

[ArtilleryBuck]

I'll bet if you went down the Buckeyes' roster and entered everybody's HT/WT, most of them would be either overweight or obese according to this. A few WRs, defensive secondary, and kickers may be OK.

You are right. As Thump pointed out earlier it doesn't take into account that someone that is very muscular may be in much better shape.

I just had a physical last week. I knew I would be in the normal category.

unfortunately for a lot of pro football players, that extra muscle turns into fat when their playing days are over.

Jerome Bettis in a few years is going to be a scary sight.

Hopefully he keeps his tv job for a few years so we can all watch him turn into a giant blob over the years.

Although I probally give it five years before he and "the Fridge" are having celebrity eat offs on tv

According to this at 5' 11 normal weight is between 135 and 175. I can see 175 being about right. But 135? So apparently Jockeys are actually the proper size and everyone one else is too big.
