Where is a BMI of 23.5 on the skinny-to-fat scale?

According to the article you are just a little below the minimum for being overweight. They claim being over 25 is overweight. Notice there is no adjustment made for males or females. It is a really stupid index.

I'm 54...born in 1952. I was thin until I was in my 40's, so they're wrong!

(just kidding...I get it.)

Thanks PC. Based on my appearance (no gut) all of my friends and neighbors think I could stil gain another 5-10 lbs.!

Pretty much if you don't look like Calista Flockhart, you're fat according to BMI.
