DrakeM The problem with body mass index is that is doesn't take into consideration how much of your MASS is lean muscle. So in theory, you could be "overweight" by BMI standards, when in actuality, you could be in an "excellent" category when it comes to body fat %.

I agree, there is NO WAY that I should be in the OBESE category! 😀
DrakeM By the way, mine is 25.71. But according to my body fat, I am in "excellent" condition. 38 years old, with around 13%. (I know, could be better.)

michaelj23 I guess with all the math questions, it shows why they only allow numerals 0 - 5 on a uniform!! I run out of fingers & toes when you starting talking 'squares'. My fat test - you can't see lil' willie, then it's time to put down the doughnut!
