I don’t see how a male of average height in the USA (5’ 10”) can be considered “obese” at a weight of 175 lbs or higher.

DH is 5’ 11.5” and weighs 190. His BMI is 26, which is in the (barely) *overweight* category. Ridiculous. He would be skeletal if he weighed 5 pounds less. I have seen him at 185 and, IMO, it is too thin.

I, OTOH, am 5’3” and weigh 130 and my BMI is 23 or *normal*, yet, I could stand to lose 5-7 pounds.
