I'm 5'10" and weight 285 pounds. I am over weight, but not obese.When I was 27, I was 6-6 and 213 pounds. Hardly had any fat on me. And the BMI said I was borderline overweight. The BMI makes no attempt to factor in muscularity. A far better measurement is comparing one's weight to one's displacement in a water tank.

I have a friend whose doctor told him, after he lost 40 lbs., that he was now Class 2 obese. He asked the doctor, "What do I have to do to just be FAT?!"
