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

BMI below 18.5 is Underweight
BMI of 18.5 – 24.9 is Normal
BMI of 25.0 – 29.9 is Overweight
BMI 30.0 and above is Obese

Here are a couple of websites that will calculate your BMI.

Here's what is ridiculous.

I weigh 185 lbs. and am 5'11". According to the BMI, I am overweight. Now, not too long ago, I certainly was overweight, but now I run around 35 miles a week. No way I'm overweight.

Thanks DD. It looks like I'm on the edge of being overweight...

I have not gut and my cloths that I wore 40 years ago as a teenager still fit.
