Wow - digging up an old one here.

I'd just like to point out that BMI is not the be-all, end-all of whether someone's weight is healthy or not. BMI is a start and a guideline for classifying someone as overweight or obese, but body fat measurements and just plain common sense are better indicators of overall health.
