I'm 5'10" and weight 285 pounds. I am over weight, but not obese. I ride my bike 14 miles a day to work usually 3-4 times a week, I lift weights (bench 300) and am looking to do a triathelon this year. I am also 50 years old. The BMI is stupid.
I am in the same boat. I am obese according to the index. 10lbs will be gone for summer but I am 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.
