"BMI is a bunch of horse crap. "

Agreed. It doesn't take into consideration body type or the kind of tissue adding the weight.
I mean anyone with a husky build will show up as overweight because of the dumb nature of the chart. I am listed as second level overweight but I move pianos for a living and have a rather muscular build.
And furthermore, a little extra girth isn't all that bad.

Well I life weights for fun, although I don't run.

While my waist ain't exactly that of an NFL player, it isn't that of a BASEBALL player either :)
